Like most of these small breweries they have a great selection of beers, though I do note that this place certainly is quite popular, since it can be difficult to find a seat at times.

We finally figured out where and how to order. The food came out quickly but was mediocre. My burger tasted weird but the fries were delicious. Beautiful view, meh food, and subpar service.

The building did have some charm about it, and it really did have that inner city feel to it. Also, the beer selection was rather nice as well.

One thing you must try, if nothing else at all is that thang they call a "Knuckle sandwich" Slow cooked and then grilled Beef brisket on a toasted sanga with slaw. Some of the tenderest beef you'll have for lunch today. Get the Sweet tater chips with black sesame Tempeh dip. Get the Buttermilk wings. Not all at the same time though unless you are sharing. It's filling food. Craft beer. If you've been to just about any pub in the inner west, you're bound to have seen 'Young Henry's' brand on tap. There is one called The Newtowner. Give it a crack. They have board games. Jenga! They have trivia. i haven't been to that yet, but it looks cool. I go here a lot these days. Looks like the baby teeth have fallen out, and the Henno has taken a big grown up bite out of in the Inner west for pub life.

There are stools at high tables, lower ones for small and large groups, and lounge-y low chairs and tables in the back if you want a bit more seclusion. Everything's still very new and clean, and is a mix of industrial/shabby-chic (think old luggage trunks for tables, glued-together Jenga blocks for menu holders, and tin buckets for your cutlery). Parts of it seem almost trying a bit too hard to be funky, but it's not overbearing. The food is mostly familiar pub items (schnitzel, burger, fish and chips) but with a few nice additions. The pulled pork roll is excellent. And their chips are delicious across the board, with lots of rosemary salt making them a cut above the average. They have lunch specials. They often have live music in the evenings. Their wine menu is small but better than pub average (Mudgee barbera, anyone? Yes please!). The only thing I find a bit annoying is that they have segregated counter areas for ordering food and drinks. I'm kinda disappointed to be leaving Marrickville now that the Ritz is here.

The place was reasonably busy but we still managed to secure a good spot for the crew and ordered up the food. I chose the jerk 1/4 chicken with the slaw 'n order (kale, cabbage & sprout slaw, caper, cornichon, fine herb & mustard vinaigrette), a serve of beer battered chips, and for the kids the chicken tenders. Others also got the jerk chicken with different sides. The jerk chicken did not have much kick to it which was disappointing, and the portion size and presentation seemed to vary to my friends. On to the slaw, which was not really a slaw at all, big leaves of kale (my least favourite green - google 'kale and coconut oil meme'), on a large bed of acidic, vinegary capers and cornichons - not my idea of a nice cabbage shredded 'slaw. The beer battered chips were rejected as way too salty by everyone, including the kids which love salt usually, so they were sent back for replacement. Which left the kid chicken tenders, which were fine if you like hot 'n' spicy (me = yes, kids = so no). I mentioned that when returning the chips and was advised they use the same seasoned coating as the chicken in the burgers, so yea, kids [spicy] tenders. The service was great. Am hoping I was just unlucky on the night with the food choices made. Also hoping I'm wrong in wondering if the Chicken & Son crew are trying too hard with the hipster menu or are simply not executing properly in the kitchen, and resulting in letting down what is actually a half decent pub.
