I have to say that this appeared to be a much better offering than the other pub that I visited. It had a bit of an historic charm and a nice beer garden down the side, though this was more for the smokers than it was for outdoor dinning. Mind you, it had everything that you would expect from your standard pub - a VIP lounge, a sports bar, and bistro, as well as a couple of pool tables. It wasn't as crowded as the other one, which also gave it some more charm. While you don't have a huge choice in the town of Woy Woy, I have to say that I much preferred this place.

Granted, it was the middle of the afternoon, so I wouldn't have expected the messy drunks to turn up in any case. The bartenders were really friendly and accommodating, flashing smiles all around, which always makes customers feel better. Their cider, by the way, is the most delicious thing I've tasted in a while. It tastes almost like really strong sparkling apple juice, and is no less intoxicating for its deliciousness, not to worry. They have two well-maintained pool tables, the cues are unbroken and unblemished (which is a rarity in pubs, I've noticed), and they don't have any balls missing! Another rarity. The premises is really clean and well-kept, as well as being air-conditioned (though not too cold.. too cold defeats the purpose a bit, doesn't it) to perfection. I like it, I would go here again for a drink if I'm in the area.

Staff were attentive and friendly, anticipating when we required service and when to give us space. Food: for entree we had the sriracha chicken which wAs lightly crumbled and had a hot sauce and a ranch sauce in the side. The chicken was tender and the hot sauce had a good 'bite' to it. We also tried the smashed pumpkin and tortilla chips- this was amazing, would definitely have this again!!! For mains we both had the crispy skin salmon and scallops. This was served with a fragrant broth which smelled divine and had a nice kick of chilli in this. The salmon was cooked perfectly, as were the scallops. Perhaps a little less pepper on top of the salmon. Overall, a great experience. Will be back.

With such decor one could even mistake themselves for a dapper rifle-toting gentleman. The food however is not free. You are going to wish you used your rifle to kill your own food. I.e. If you want overpriced cuisine don't be afraid to come here. The fish and chip are tasty but not large or in any way special. This is OK really because next time your eyes will be drawn to the corn beef on the menu which is a refreshing sight (and taste, in a burger schnitzel driven pub food scene). You pay for the group-friendly tables. Fit with leather backed benches and a TV to control as your own. American sports are available too - those NBA playoffs won't watch themselves in your work lunch break. When it's not busy the waitstaff are pretty accommodating too. This makes it the sports bar you've been looking for! 4 deer heads out of 5.

Looking through the menu I could NOT take my eyes off the following "Macadamia Nut Crusted Chicken Breast with Mashed Potato and Veggies". Holy Food God. I ordered it and the serving was so big, enough for two people for sure... I ate the whole thing. I'm not much of a food photo taker, but I needed to record the awesomeness that was this meal. The view here is lovely and the drinks are cheap, so why oh why did I mark this only 4 out of 5? Well my friends who have children ordered the childrens meal which comes with ice cream. They asked for the ice cream about an hour after dinner, and were told that there was no ice cream left. We'd only been able to control the kids with the promise of ice cream. The girl did not seem to care and offered us the dessert menu. There was nothing offered to replace the ice cream either. Other than that I think the place was great.

Being close to where I used to work, I'd frequent this place quite a bit, and before it was a PJs it was a mates fave city pub so we'd catch up over a few here from time to time. There's a pretty good mix of people in the street-level bar, and PJs have converted it into more of a sports bar so there are plenty of screens for the sports nuts to check out their favourite teams prospects. PJs typically have pretty good fare. In winter they have two absolute cracking dishes. The Guiness Pie with mushy peas, and their signature lamb shanks which is totally unctuous. Why such a modest score? Price kills the place. It's not one of the cheaper places to get a beer as someone incorrectly states in their tips, it's easily one of the most expensive places to get a beer. You're paying over the top prices for domestic tap beer. A cheap beer is $5 for a Coopers Pale Ale, which you can get on the same street about 200m up the road... Also... As much as I enjoy a good pokie section, this one ain't good. And by that I mean the clientelle. It brings in the undesireable types, and sours what is otherwise a sweet pub. The snug, the downstairs den, has a great looking bar, and "snug" seating, but it's kinda pointless down there. It doesn't feel snug, it feels stuffy and claustrophobic - and the bar has never been manned when I've been down there. Now, if they moved the pokies to the snug, and then opened up the entire bar at the street-level to include the room vacated by the pokie section, you'd have something. But why would they do that when they can get by with what they have.

I order the Parmy, just to be on the the safe side. I wasn't too game to try the Pie which is supposed to be one of the best (as judged by Irish people I work with) around. The food is carefully prepared and you can tell the produce is quality and they've cooked it properly which some pubs sometimes struggle to do consistently... The chips were the standout side, crisp and crunchy! Definitely will be trying the stew or pie, that is if I'm brave enough to.

This is where I go when I need my "American" food fix…read more I had been living in Sydney for a few months and had a major hankering for some Chili Cheese Fries. I posted the question on Facebook and was told that this place would have what I was looking for. And boy did they! The menu is massive - burgers, tacos, fries, milkshakes, you name it. So far I've had the chili cheese fries - YUM, the frickles (Fried Pickles), the Fish Tacos and the chicken wings. All have been delicious. This place also has Kopperberg Cider and good old Miller Genuine Draft. The decor is pretty casual and it always has sports on the television. Great place, will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu.

Lots of families were around, parents having drinks while their kids chased each other outside. The wedges we got came in a huge bowl. We got a much bigger serving than I expected, which was nice since it ended up being dinner. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't super friendly.
