Folonomo - more than just a fun word to say, this long and narrow restaurant thrives on this as a…read morephilosophy; for love not money. Folonomo donates all its profits to charity, but this ain't no sausage sizzle. No sir, this is a proper sit down meal with flowers on the table that you could take your mother to. The menu is small with only a handful of entrees and a handful of mains but everything sounds delicious enough to keep you asking the waiter for just one more minute. The food is share-plate friendly and leans towards the 'healthy' path with dishes featuring cauliflower rice and risotto made from sunflower kernels. But healthy doesn't mean bland - their octopus is super tender with a morish smoky char and the poached chicken is succulent and juicy with just the right amount of harissa to keep your fork going back for more, even when you start using up dessert stomach space. It's a wonderful feeling rolling out a restaurant having eaten too much and not feeling guilty about it. After all, it's all for charity.

Such a nice moment in Folonomo :) I had dinner with 3…read morefriends and we have shared everything (Ocean trout tartare, caulifower rice, spanner crab roll, poached chicken bread). The menu has also really good for vegetarian. The restaurant is BYOB and all the profits are given to charity I definitely recommend this place. We need to book in advance as it is often crowded during for dinner.

Great hangout, cold beers…read more We showed up later, so we were able to find a seat and get quick access to the main bar. We ordered in person but each table has the ability to order directly to the table. The upstairs bar closes early, but the party remained downstairs The pints are served full and cold. The barkeeps are super nice. It is a place that is more mature than the surrounding clubs, so despite being loud and dimly lit, it will not have the rowdiness and strobing light of the youth filled locales. Great for chilling.

Oh, this one, yeah, I wasn't really all that impressed with this pub. Look, I'm not going to give…read moreit a bad rating or anything, but it was rather so so, so I can't give it a good rating either. Okay, they do have craft beers on tap so I'll give it that, but the problem is that after visiting a number of really cool pubs, when you come to this one, you sort of feel that maybe you are missing out on something. Still, it is a pub on my list, and I've now been here. Oh, that's right, it was also pretty crowded, but then again I suspect that is what the pub actually wants.

Maybe you can see the bridge from upstairs, since this place is reasonably close to the Harbour…read moreBridge, but unfortunately, it was closed, so I'm not really able to confirm anything in that regards. However, as far as I'm concerned I really couldn't see any bridge from this pub. As a place to grab a beer, well, it was okay, but nothing really all that out of the ordinary. Also, being a bit of a hike from anywhere but the local area probably suggests that it is a place suited for the locals.

Ah the Bridgey! I once saw a guy put another guy's head through the front window here. Mind you,…read morethat was years ago when it had a bit of a rougher reputation. These days it's a perfectly serviceable old man-style pub with some good food specials and a daily happy hour. The food is gastro pub prices (think $20-$25 mains and $8 bowls of chips) but there's a special most nights, the chicken schnitty one is particularly good, you get a huge gourmet schnitterz with a range of flavours and slaw and chips and the entire plate is big as a man's face. This is a good place to watch the footy at over a quiet jar of something cold and bitter. Hunker down in one of the leather couches and ask for your game to be turned on the big screen, although it will depend on what's on and how many other punters are in for the other codes. AFL, pffft. Barely a sport.

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. Yet, a part of me felt that it wasn't one of the best pubs out there. However, as a place to go for a quiet beer, it certainly does have a lot of charm.

Since my first review, The Henno has won me back…read more The food, if you pick the right things, is actually pretty dang great. 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.

I had come here a few times after work, pretty cool chill pub…read more I wanted to watch the NBA finals so I rang up Verandah and they said they were playing it. My coworker and I got there a little after 12PM, right in time for the start of the 3rd quarter. Wasn't too crowded, so we snagged a table with a great view of the TV. There are daily specials and it was Wednesday, so we got the parmigian for $10. This was basically the chicken schnitzel which is the special the day before..hmmm Ordered a cider and waited for the food and watched the game. The buzzer went off within minutes and the plate was huge. There was salad, a good amount of chips and a huge heart shaped chicken parmigian with cheese and bacon on top. You can top it off with gravy at the cutlery station. The meat was a bit tough to cut but overall pretty tasty. Was stuffed afterwards. Cheap food, basketball and cider, can't really go wrong with that combination!

This is a very common Friday lunch-time haunt for corporates due to the good lunch menu and open bar. The "BBQ menu" is standard pub fare but the quality is actually quite good.

Take a seat in the open verandah which is especially nice in summer, and count down the hours to quitting time and the weekend!

I was on an 8hr layover in Sydney on my way to Perth and decided to venture out to Manly via the harbor water taxi. It was in the middle of a hellacious rainstorm, so the ferry ride was definitely "lively". 4Pines Brewpub was the closest brewery to the quay, so I made a run for it and was greeted with a nice beer selection (did a flight #natch ), friendly staff, ample seating (w/a view), and respite from the storm. It was a great way to say g'day to beer in Oz!
