Honestly, that is something that rarely happens, though of course if they happen to be busy then I can sort of understand why. The next thing that stood out was the awesome beers that they happened to have on tap, and something like that is always going to grab my attention.

I guess it does stand out a bit, being an Irish Pub and all that, but there really wasn't anything about this place that did anything to actually grab my attention, or even my imagination. Sure, they had a couple of decent beers, and the staff were okay, but it really isn't one of those pubs that I'd visit again.

I don't know. This pub wasn't as great as some of the others that I had been to. Okay, it had been…read morerecently revamped, and the service wasn't all that bad, but it just didn't seem to have the same vibe that a lot of the other pubs that I had been to in the area had. Maybe it was just that it had recently been reopened when I passed through, but I really can't put my finger on what it was that I didn't like about it. It was probably just me in the end and nothing to do with the pub itself.

This place has three levels? I feel like this review might be hampered by the fact that I only…read moreexperienced the ground floor drink/dine area, but with that being said the 1/3 of the pub which I did experience was a nice place to hang out. The deco is confusing, however charming. A bare brick wall, racked ceiling with chicken wire, plumbing with light globes coming out every which way. Like an outback pub trying to keep things modern and trendy. The bar lady seemed a touch preoccupied. As if she was expecting an order of something to arrive. Such behaviour isn't indicative of bad service, it was just slightly distracting to continuously see a head pop out from behind a wall to gaze over the front entrance. I went for the $12 lunch special. One Black Angus Beef Burger with thick cut chips and ketchup on the side. The chips lived up the standard thick cut. Decent amount of crunch while fluffy inside. I believe the ketchup was made in house. Tasted like smooth tomato chutney which a touch of chilli for warmth. Nice. Everything about the burger was fresh. The beef wasn't over processed. The cheese and sauces complimented everything. The bun was soft. Simplictic and wholesome. Burgers like how mum use to make... but in a pub. For $12 it was a decent meal. I was certainly filled up by the end of it but not so much that I couldn't walk. When you're in Newtown you need to be able to use your legs. I'd like to return here with a group of friends. The six seated high tables looked comfortable enough to enjoy a few drinks over the course of a couple of hours.

To say that they had a good selection of beers is an absolute understatement because, being Newtown, you are going to find great selection of beers in their pubs. The thing that I loved the most about this pub though was the rooftop bar that gives you a great view of the surrounding area. The place is relaxing, and the view is magnificent. I could literally spend ages up here.

Anyway, the thing that stood out with this one is that it really came across as a live music venue, and honestly, I don't mind such venues. This one was okay, and they had some decent beers on tap as well, though it really didn't stand out the way that some of the pubs that I have visited stood out. Still, it was pretty cool, so I'll give it that.

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.

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.

Okay, it doesn't have the hundred-odd taps that you see in some of these bars, but it still has a pretty decent number of different, and unique, beers available.

Oh, it also has a decent-sized beer garden as well, so I'm pretty happy with this place.
