I guess the porch really did it for me - one of those newer pubs that deliberately created a porch where patrons could sit at with a beer in hand and either chat, or read a book if they are like me. The other thing is that they also had a decent selection of beers on tap, and that is always going to win me over.

Rocksia in Arncliff is a posh place for bar food and drinks. It later turns into more of a night…read moreclub atmosphere which I'm not sure is so family friendly, but for dinner its just fine. This is a counter order and pick up kind of joint so don't expect full service. In fact I would say the service in all is pretty mediocre. We experienced rude wait staff and was miss- rung up for our bill. However, to Rocksia's credit the manager did come over to offer a free drink to my BF's Aunt which helped to ease the hard feelings. The EATS...HUGE portions. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and chips and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Another plus is that Rocksia does promotions like saving your receipt vouchers for the next time you come, 2 for 1 meals. All in all a pretty decent joint and good value.

The food was amazing, The Linguini was great with lots of cheese, the pork ribs were amazing but spoiler it is a lot of food especially for $24.

The only thing this place needs is more features like Claw Machines to keep the kids occupied or an arcade game. But other than that this place is great, would definitely recommend.

Touchdown is the downstairs bar in the Rydges Hotel at Sydney Airport. I'm not sure what is more…read moreconfusing: the fact that it is named after an American football term; or the fact that they couldn't make a basic cocktail correctly. (More on that later). The vibe here was laid back sports bar with a focus on beers, wine and simple drinks. Sadly, the beer list was short and standard (Australian macrobrews like VB, Carlton, etc.) The short food list was actually better than I expected, with a selection of apps (wings, meatballs), entrees (burgers, steak, salmon) and desserts. It was certainly enough to suit me, so I ate here for dinner and watched some local sports (continuing my increasing fascination with cricket). My burger and fries were pretty good, and just what I wanted. But after a few mediocre beers I decided to test the bar by ordering something basic. Specifically, I asked for an Old Fashioned (It's a never-ending quest). The young bartender got busy, muddling some fruit, adding sugar and bitters, before finally adding the liquor (which I couldn't see). The result tasted familiar, but strange...REALLY strange. I sipped slowly, but it never got any better. After about 15 minutes, the bartender proudly showed me the single malt scotch he made it with... [Insert Forehead Slap here]. No wonder it tasted strange - This drink is made with Rye or Bourbon only; and what a waste of a single malt! Dear management- you might want to think about training your bartenders to do something more than pour wine and beer.

Hopefully you don't have a flight through a gate with single digits, it's a walk. It's located on the lower floor with the other lounges. It's located near Gates 50-63 in the Depatures area. The decor is nice and there chairs are comfortable. The drinks are easy to get to and the area is wide open. I came during the evening on a Saturday and the place is empty. There are a lot of outlets by each table and the music is quite soothing. The service here is really good. The bartender was very friendly and quick. The waiters here are very attentive and take your dirty plates quite quickly. Overall, if you have an international flight, this will satisfy you for your trip back to the states. The clean sitting areas and decent selection of beers will make sure that your flight is a sleepy one.

This was a HUGE step up from the Quanta's Business Lounge, but even then, you notice some things…read morethat are lacking. It's not necessarily their fault but it is what it is. They are the Amex Centurion Lounge... run by Plaza Premium. I don't believe I've had a chance to try a Plaza premium lounge so is this what would be expected? Possibly. In any case for an AMEX lounge it definitely was lacking in 2 places: the bar and the seating. This is without a doubt, the smallest centurion lounge that I've been to. Really not that much seating compared to others, yet still much more accommodating than the average priority lounge. Service: They were transitioning meals at the time and so it took a good chunk of time before we could actually get food. The sign asked for 20 minutes to change over. Realistically, it shouldn't take 20 minutes just to swap out food. If that's the case, then you should leave up the previous meal service so that people can get what they need and leave if they're in a rush. Then just transition the food to the next meal when the food is ready. As for the table, it took a while to lock in a table and get it cleaned. We had asked the workers, whenever they get a chance to please wipe down a couple of dirty tables of people who had left but it took a while for anyone to come over. By the time someone had come, we already started just getting drinks. As for the bar, it moved VERY SLOW but I don't hold that against them. They had a combo alcohol/coffee bar. At the time it was one person running both sides so it took my family a very long time to get their coffees. Because of this, I decided not to get coffee. The woman working the counter did her best and she was so nice. Eventually another person came to help her so it started to move much faster. When she came over to the bar side the woman was able to pump those drinks out quickly. The downside to the alcohol side of the bar, it's not at the level of a typical centurion lounge. I'm used to a large full bar with plenty of offerings, and more importantly, its own cocktail list inspired by the location but this place did not have that. Maybe because it's technically a plaza premium lounge? As for the food I will say I was pleasantly surprised for the most part. A good selection of substantial food. Some of the foods include:"salads," cakes, noodles, a veggie dish with tofu, pizza and even braised beef bourguignon. Big negative mark for dirty forks.

The Bevo has beeen pretty much the same since i can remember and up until current it's still a great local :) Read the previous low star reviews a few times cause they were pretty funny ... think they might of mixed up their reviews with another joint haha :D!! Been to this place early, during the day and later in the evening and have never had a problem .. have actually surpassed my expectations when comparing to other pubs in the area :)!! Yet no funny reviews at those places ;) ;). All in all the food is great for pub and the sports entertainment, seating, pool tables & bar are all on point for a great local to hang out at :). Dont worry about the 2 weird 6 year old revews and you can take my word for it that if you have been to a handful of good pubs this one is actually a good one aswell ;)!!

Unlike most, there is no buffet or self serve bar. There is an attentive staff that take your food/drink order off a very nice selection on their menu.

They also use the archaic mechanical flight screen that gives a delightful click-click-clack every time it updates. Guaranteed to bring back delightful memories for us older travelers!

We entered the lounge and the deco was awesome. Escalator up we did another round of check in and were guided towards the seating area. You can choose to sit anyone but those who would prefer to eat get seated in a reserved area for food. We sat in the casual area for some coffee and champagne and then later decided to eat. We had a full meal of options to choose from. They have an open kitchen and the variety did not disappoint. I had the corn soup and fish with veggies which was good. We also had lamb and fries which did not disappoint. Lounge has a great variety of wine and champagne. If you have a lot of time you can use their Spa. The lounge itself is very clean, and everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Location is awesome as well. View of plane landing and taking off. Our gate was below us so we could see our plane landing. This was our third time using the lounge at Sydney airport and was the best experience.
