Fabulous bar with excellent service. The cocktails here are amazing and the food is nice too. Our…read moredog was so happy to be allowed in and Hemant the owner is a lovely guy and very welcoming. Definitely one of my favourites in Balmain. The ambience is fabulous with old European style interiors and a fireplace for cold winter days. There are a few tables outside and the menu is mainly sharing plates. Vegetarian choice is limited and I wish there were a few more options for food. The owner does allow you to get pizza from Tipo 00 if you don't like the menu they have. Cocktail list is extensive and there is a good selection of single malts and other spirits. Would happily come here any day. It's a great spot for a chilled evening with friends sipping cocktails and grazing :-)

Ive never seen a broccoli served this way, nor have i ever said my broccoli was absolutely incredible, but it was!! And the beef rib - superb. I broke my diabetic diet to indulge in the pavalova afterwards and fantastic, not too sweet. Will be back if in the area..

Well, I accidentally stumbled across the bar as I was wandering through Balmain. Mind you, I had…read morebeen exploring the other pubs that were scattered about but had no idea that this place existed, so I decided to go and check it out since it was in the way that I was heading. Well, it certainly stands out from the other pubs in the area, namely because it is basically a bar, and a pretty unpretentious one at that. It has a pretty nice laid back atmosphere and a great place for a quiet drink. Mind you, there wasn't a huge amount of options in the way of beers, and the outdoor seats are actually quite narrow, however I still liked the place.

My friend loves this place so we decided to meet here for a catch up. The place was intimate and…read morefunky with seating outside as well as inside. The staff were warm and welcoming. They were French so you could listen to all night long! We each had a glass of red wine which was lovely. The beers were craft and the wine list was quite impressive We shared chat potatoes then I had the pork sliders which were nice. Chips were good! The dessert tasting plate consisted of chocolate mousse with a good topping of cream, passion fruit creme brulee, chocolate brownie and raspberry sorbet. It was a great little place for a chilled catch up with a friend!

I'm not really sure whether I can consider this to be a hidden pub, but then again it does happen…read moreto be on one of the backstreets. As a pub it was actually really nice, especially the lounge area out the back (though there wasn't much in the way of a beer garden). The staff were pretty cool, and they had a nice selection of beers on tap, though the fact that I was wearing my Cooper's T-shirt that day meant that pretty much everybody served me a midi of Coopers before I could make my order.

I was on the hunt for a typical pub with a fireplace to sit in front of with a glass of wine and a…read moregood meal so I decided to check out 3 Weeds. This is a nice big old pub with numerous areas to drink and eat including my favourite "no kids" area with big comfy lounges, fireplace and big windows letting lots of sun in. 3 Weeds seems to be a place for the locals as there were lots of groups. For food I shared the meats and cheese platter which I was a bit disappointed with as it only came with 1 type of cheese and no fruit. I did however enjoy my sirloin steak with a delicious garden salad topped with balsamic vinegar. I usually dislike pub side salads but this was a winner.

Love this place! Had my bday here in January and it 'twas amazing!…read more Blue skies, great friends, cocktails, wine and ciders and good beats Italian sausages in an open pita bread for something to eat to sustain the alcohol. All accompanied by an amazing water view :)

Cool place! Definitely worth a trip out to the island to explore the historic site and have a drink…read moreor two. The bar itself is a little surreal, particularly in comparison with the rest of the island, but that's part of the charm. Good drinks and great tunes. Gin fans should be particularly happy here. Wood-fired pizzas, if you're so inclined. Yes it is a bit on the pricey side (but not much), and yes it can be a bit chilly if you come on a windy day, but hey... it's Cockatoo Island! WORTH IT. Just time your trip for the end of a warm, sunny day and all will be well.

George and Lina are my local and my go to. The coffee is excellent, the service is top notch and…read morethey provide a great atmosphere. I would trust them with my kids. They provide a feeling of community in Drummoyne and we would be much poorer without them. Food is great as well if you are wanting it, although they need to add a chicken wrap to the menu!

It's a small, charming space that is decorated with the perfect blend of hipster and homely, and the sensory lab coffee on offer warms the stomach and the heart. The menu is mid-sized, with something to suit every taste. I had the BLT on Turkish, very filling and the perfect blend of flavours with fresh ripe tomato and crispy bacon and the bread toasted to perfection. The menu being perfectly priced for a student wallet is just an added bonus!! Would 100% recommend coming here for a catch up or even a place to sit and read. Oh and the music playlist is on point
