One of the prettiest bars I've ever seen. Very "Newtown-esque" hahaha. Friendly, great staff too…read more Their jalapeño margarita was a bit too chilli for me but the bartender was wonderful and offered to make me a new one just because of that (I didn't take it of course!). However, I'd recommend the Lime Bramble cocktail for anyone looking for something nice and fresh.

I arrived 90 minutes early for a show at The Enmore and needed somewhere to pass the time. Secret…read moreGarden was the first place I passed that happened to have a liquor licence, so I went on in. This place boasts 3 rotating taps and a Newtown-worthy selection of about a dozen or so bottles. I grabbed a Sierra Nevada and settled in to wait for my date. The smell of pulled pork filled the room and I couldn't resist ordering a couple of sliders (pork or beef $5/each, $12/3). Both were pretty tasty. I'd happily return to Secret Garden next time I'm early for a gig at the Enmore.

I was about to give up on Marrickville, and as I was wandering down the road towards the railway…read morestation I spied this little hole in the wall bar. A part of me thought that hole-in-the-wall bars was a Melbourne speciality, but it turns out that Sydney has its fair share of them as well. Anyway, I decided to pop in for a beer, and not surprisingly, I loved this place. Not only do they have craft beers on tap (and some good ones at that), but also regular events. I came here on Open Mike Night, though nobody was brave enough to take advantage of the open mike. Oh, and the atmosphere was great as well.

It's a little dirty, a bit tired and service is unpredictable. The terrace upstairs has the potential to be such an amazing place to hang out (and a great space for private functions) and the downstairs area is big, dark and condusive to romance (ahhh... memories....)... but overall Kuletos has lost some of the spark/energy that can be found in similar bars across Sydney. Despite the tiredness, this is a great bar to start your night (or spend your evening, if you're not having a big one). Grab some two-for-one cocktails, unwind with friends and transition into a more tipsy, carefree version of yourself. You'll have a good time, the drinks are great, it's got a nice vibe... but it could be so much more.

I remember being 18 and grabbing a Toblerone before a big night in Newtown. Now in my 30s I grab a…read moreToblerone before a quiet night in Newtown. It is 3 levels separated by street art painted walls. The inside levels have some bar, stool and table seating, the atmosphere is quite closed up and dark. The upstairs level has picnic tables and a far view of the city and has a completely different feel compared to inside. Maybe it is the daylight drinking or my older eyes but it is showing some age, but still if I am in Newtown I will be grabbing a Toblerone.

The building did have some charm about it, and it really did have that inner city feel to it. Also, the beer selection was rather nice as well. Yet, a part of me felt that it wasn't one of the best pubs out there. However, as a place to go for a quiet beer, it certainly does have a lot of charm.

Since my first review, The Henno has won me back…read more The food, if you pick the right things, is actually pretty dang great. One thing you must try, if nothing else at all is that thang they call a "Knuckle sandwich" Slow cooked and then grilled Beef brisket on a toasted sanga with slaw. Some of the tenderest beef you'll have for lunch today. Get the Sweet tater chips with black sesame Tempeh dip. Get the Buttermilk wings. Not all at the same time though unless you are sharing. It's filling food. Craft beer. If you've been to just about any pub in the inner west, you're bound to have seen 'Young Henry's' brand on tap. There is one called The Newtowner. Give it a crack. They have board games. Jenga! They have trivia. i haven't been to that yet, but it looks cool. I go here a lot these days. Looks like the baby teeth have fallen out, and the Henno has taken a big grown up bite out of in the Inner west for pub life.

Like most of these small breweries they have a great selection of beers, though I do note that this place certainly is quite popular, since it can be difficult to find a seat at times. However, the main reason that I come to places like this are for the beers, and the beer selection here is certainly pretty good.

Well, it certainly turned out to be worth it because the atmosphere was great. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which is something that always grabs my attention, and there were also some pretty nice beers on tap as well. This is another one of those bars I'd have no problems returning to in the future.

They have occasional Live music, although the venue is small it isn't overly loud and your friends are still somewhat audible during. I love the changing selection of beers on offer (Had a watermelon pilsner I'll never forget) and a pretty mean cocktail menu for the brave. I haven't had the food here as of yet since Newtown is bursting full of new places but no matter what I tend to come back to this little bar.
