The Beer Factory in Seven Hills, is one of Australia's growing micro-breweries. It is kitted out…read morewith everything you need to brew your own beer in a professional manner without any of the associated mess and bother of home brewing equipment. Brewing 50 litres at a time, you end up paying approximately half of the amount paid for packaged beer. Everything you need is there on the spot and all the help you need is on hand. Make one of over 200 beers from simple recipes and ingredients, leave the beer there to ferment, go back two three weeks later and bottle it. The bottles and crown caps are there as well. It is environmentally friendly, the glass bottles can be reused many times and reusing also brings the cost down. You can even leave your beer there if you haven't enough room to store it at home. The beer lasts for 12 months if refrigerated and five months if kept at room temperature. Splitting 50 litres with a friend or two is a good way of having beer always on hand but not having so much that you can't use it. Custom labels can be printed making it a great present. One of the benefits of making your own beer is that according to Steve Boag, the mastermind of the brewery, is you can't get a hangover from the beer. There are no articifical colourings or preservatives used in the beer, only natural grains, water and sugars. Name most brands on the market and Steve will give you the recipe - make your own for 50% of the cost.

Uncle Kurt's is a tiny one room cocktail dive bar in a back alley under a multistorey carpark just across from the old Parramatta Mall not far from the old Roxy. They've gone with a New York theme with heavily graffitied walls, hip hop beats & deli style sandwiches, meats & jaffles. The cocktail list is split into 3 sections of classics, modern & creamy all coming in a shade under $20 a pop created by genuine experienced mixologists. If cocktails aren't your go they also have a mixture of craft beers, a variety of wine & of course straight up spirits. Staff are all friendly, knowledgeable & happy to help.

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!

#72 for 2021 This…read morewas our 1st night going out to eat of many. My cousin brought me here because she thought it would be cool thing to see. First of all this place is huge with several dining areas. They can accommodate several events or parties ranging from 40 to 300. Up to 1400 in their hotel facility. It is a brewery stoked well with their own. There's 6 of them plus other a few others from around the world.. They may have more now. When you walk there is a wall of kegs you can take selfies at. We did. It's a bit confusing once you get past that trying to figure out where you order or where you sit. The way it works you walk around looking at the different menus and offerings. There's lots to walk around too. I did it twice before deciding killing about 30minutes. Some stations were for specific items. Like one for the beer on tap. Another for desserts. I decided to go big and ordered the T-bone. It was a good size steak complemented with a only a baked potato. Over all presentation sure left something to be desired.  You could order some sides like a salad or something but I decided to pass to make sure I had room to finish. This was cooked to perfection. Juicy and seasoned. I wish I had some rice to soak up the juices off the plate. My wife had the regular burger.  And it was the same for her. We also tried the fish and chips my cousin ordered to share with her husband. Nothing wow there but it was delicious. The area we were in is called the Bistro. It is the main hub where most people will be. We found a table for 4 of us but no chairs. We waited for the buzzer to go off longer than expected but happy when we it did lite up. The Sports Lounge has one huge hi-def LED screen surrounded by several smaller screens. What ever is happening in the sports world you can catch it all here. Wasn't too noisy when I was checking it out but I could see this getting loud. Be sure to check out these other areas too. Kids are welcome in Playland where you will want to bring them. Run around all they want burning off  energy. It does get loud in there. The Sky Lounge has its own bar overlooking the Sports Bar. Great for meetings. If you want high ceilings with an indoor garden that basques in the glow of natural light that will be the Atrium. This would be good for baby showers and small events with a more personal nature. During happy hour it's $5.00 for the taps and wines. Mon to Fri 11am - 3pm take advantage of the $15.00 lunch specials that include their Core Range brews. I think this is a great place to visit having lots to offer. Australian Brewery can be the spot for many events with good food creating those special moments. We sure had one.

Two separate counters for food order and drinks. Get queue for food order then get in queue for drinks order and mind you your waiting time in queue can be significant because it doesn't move fast. At the order counter they ask you for table no, and if you are alone then you probably point to the direction where a table is free, but by the time you are done queueing for food and drinks that table probably will be taken

So far the quality of the beef pretty good sometimes you might get a tough batch but lately its really good value and as you can see in the photo, it's much thicker than other $10 deals going around. I always order medium-rare. If they are really busy, order one temperature down as it tends to rest a long time before you get the beep making your steak more overcooked than you ordered. The steak comes with a gravy, however a wide range of self-service generic condiments are also available such as mustard, tomato sauce, mustard seeds, bbq sauce, etc. Conclusion It a good place to catch the weekend games on the big screen with a beer after/during your Saturday steak. Other sections include a wine bar and live music lounge. If you stay long enough it becomes a full-on club with DJ. @thesydneynoob

I said "Let's meet at the Bull and Bush Hotel!" What a pleasant surprise. The front of the hotel is glassed in which is a a great bistro offering a good range of reasonably, priced, large meals. The hotel was quite busy but we found a table for 7 and ordered our meals while the beer started flowing...then the wine. Bottles of house wine ranged from $20 -$25, and the blend was smooth and accompanied the meal very well. Then we had drinks in the courtyard after the meal. An excellent DJ was playing a good selection of hard rock music. The attire was tee shirts and shorts..and you had to be holding a schooner. Anyway what a lively place. Through to the back of the hotel a live band was playing and this was the third band that night. This is definitely a meeting place for the future.

They have a pretty extensive food menu which caters for all appetites and is reasonably priced. The food tastes pretty good too. Outside there's a kids area that's cordoned off with their own tv and equipment. Upstairs is a classy looking bar and lounge area, it's quite light and new. There's a seating area outside and another one around the back with pool tables. It has a small pokie room as well. Saturday afternoon they have a barbecue and usually it's free, why wouldn't you come here! I only give it four stars however as they haven't changed their menu in about 2 years!
