The aircon worked and the lemon lime and bitters was prepared in a wierd way but was still good. BUT, on the ground floor there are only three low tables but plenty of bar tables. I am not athletic enough for a bar chair so it too a couple of goes before I mounted it. Plenty of TVs show the racing if you have a bet. Only sport was the replay of the NRL. There are no visible machines so I think you could bring in kids but I wouldn't as the locals who inhabit the bar are loud and the vocab leaves a lot to be desired.

I've only been here for lunch but I've done that enough times that I really should add a review…read more The Crown was totally refurbished recently having changed names from the old One World Sports Bar. Its a basic bar with a big pokies area at the back, nightclub upstairs, and dining area at the front with bi fold windows opening out onto Church Street. The lunch special is really what draws me in veery time. For $12 you can get a range of meals with a beer - that's pretty good value even among all the Church St restaurants competing for the lunch crowds attention. I usually grab the steak and blue cheese sauce with salad and chips. Its a decent size meal and the blue cheese sauce is amazing. Just a hint though - order your steak a bit more cooked what what you would usually order. I like rare to medium so I order medium. They tend to under cook them a bit. The only downside is that you can't swap the beer for another drink and a glass of coke is about $4 so you may as well enjoy the beer! But that aside its a great lunch spot and for $12 for a meal and a beer you can't go wrong!

I was on an 8hr layover in Sydney on my way to Perth and decided to venture out to Manly via the harbor water taxi. It was in the middle of a hellacious rainstorm, so the ferry ride was definitely "lively". 4Pines Brewpub was the closest brewery to the quay, so I made a run for it and was greeted with a nice beer selection (did a flight #natch ), friendly staff, ample seating (w/a view), and respite from the storm. It was a great way to say g'day to beer in Oz! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in that neck of the woods DownUnder as it is super convenient to the Corso which takes you to Manly Beach.

Well, noting that it was in fact a 'boutique beer cafe' pretty much says everything that you need to know about this place, and it certainly lives up to its name with a huge selection of beers available.

In fact I was blown away at the selection of beers that they had, and even if they don't have it on tap, they also have a great selection of bottled beers as well (though I wouldn't go as far as suggesting that they have every one, just a pretty decent collection). Oh, and they definitely know their beers as well, which is another absolute bonus. Seriously, this place is definitely worth checking out.

You can't go wrong here. Ribs, wings, Calamari, pretzels & burgers of all types. Your choice of drinks can consist of fun cocktails, interesting non-alcoholic drinks, 6 Bavarian biers, 6 local biers and 17 wines choices. The desserts look amazing. I'd have them with one of their 8 flavors. Service is excellent by the manager, Halle. She runs a great ship here. The ambiance is fun and southern German, the happy people of Germany.

The entrance to the venue is a narrow flight of stairs that leads you upstairs, so if you are coming from the street all you see are stairs! Other than signs pointing you in the right direction, there isn't a hint of where you are off too. If memory serves me correctly, there is a sheek bar or restaurant on the street level next to the stairs, don't confuse that venue with Bitter Phew. The staff is friendly, well informed and attentive. There are a healthy selection of local beers on tap that rotate, just don't get carried away trying everything on the menu as it can get pricey...$$$ The menu itself is not fancy; old school hand written marker on a board, probably due to the rotating menu and to possibly to save costs, definitely no high tech billboard. Bitter Phew is not a big venue either, it's pretty cozy. On a hot summer day this place is an oven...don't say I didn't warn you! Worth a visit if you are a craft brew aficionado...

I have tried pretty much all the craft beer bars, breweries South of the Harbour and there are plenty of really good ones! However I always end up here. 12 rotating taps of quality independent craft beer. Always a great mix of Aussie and imported beers, they often have tap takeovers, if you follow their FB page you can always see their up coming events or download the now tapped app and you can see what's on tap. Great atmosphere and the staff are super friendly and engaging. They don't serve food but they have menus from several quality eateries that they will order for you and have delivered to the venue.

Young Henry's is covered in cool murals and tchotchkes, many of which are hilarious. If I was a Newtown resident, I'd be hanging out there all the time. Truly wish I'd been able to visit again before my Sydney trip was over. Hopefully there's a next time. Excellent visit.

I've been craving for a real cheeseburger for almost two years (!) and this place hit the spot! I've read some reviews on zomato that mentioned that the hamburgers here were too oily?! Um sorry but that is false... definitely felt that maybe an extra slab of butter under the milk bun and a tad drip of oil on the meats would put you in cheeseburger heaven! But alas, Aussies are healthier in general, which is awesome because you get the best of both worlds! Classic Burger, keep up the good work! (On a side note-- minus a star though because the fries really need some work... sorry!)
