    99 bottles of scotch on the wall

    WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES WAFFLE FRIES I could leave it at that and still give these guys 5 stars. The burgers, wings, tacos, nachos, tap beer and the fact that this place is also a bar is just an added side bonus to the WAFFLE FRIES. Haha in all seriousness though, the Hayberry is the perfect type of place that just doesn't care about seriousness. It's chilled, laid back, Americana/Ned-Kelly-died-here-atmosphere make it literally one of the best places in Crows Nest in my humble opinion. I mean it's a small bar, but it's also a place to come and smash down some good ol' comfort food - anything goes! It's the kind of place you could even get away with bringing the kids - a 'restaurant' I guess is what they call it. It's been a biting cold winter, and both times we've come here have been literally freezing. It was like an oasis in the winter abyss, chowing down on the 'Bogan burger' and the buffalo wings literally made me giddy with happiness. Oh, and did I mention the WAFFLE FRIES? I'm not going to explain their awesomeness, just go there and try them for yourselves. Well done guys - it's my new favourite.

    Awesome burgers, one of the best in Sydney. The bun is soft and patty is juicy. Their waffles fries are unique and tasty. I also tried their house wings which is good but you can skip their popcorn chicken. I will definitely come back in the future.

    Southern Cluck, add jalapeños and bacon.

    Giving this team that extra star is long overdue. You'll find me here once per week, almost without fail. We'll be parked at one of the benches across from the bar, making small talk with The Hayberry team. We'll order two pints and some chicken wings with blue cheese to start. Once those have been demolished we'll order another two pints, some brisket tacos, and the Southern Cluck burger (add jalapeños and bacon). Sometimes we switch things up and order the Spicy Texan burger instead because sometimes we like to live on the edge. Sometimes. I'm someone who likes to try new things. I like to scope out new restaurants and try new recipes. I rarely cook the same thing twice. The Hayberry is just that good that it gets me through the doors once a week. That's a pretty amazing feat.

    Such a great place to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, great craft beers and great burgers. Definitely an awesome atmosphere and I highly recommend The Whipper with Bacon.

    This fairly new small bar brings a Surry Hills feel to the North side (think Soda Bar or Brooklyn Social). It has a well thought out selection of good craft beers, cocktails, etc, The food is well priced, tasty Tex-Mex style burgers & subs, and I totally rate the Sizzle hot plate ( if you are lucky you might even get more tortillas if needed). The decor is exposed brick, low lighting (bit too low perhaps?) with old memorabilia which is cosy. The high booths adjacent the bar are novel and would need careful coordination when hopping down after a couple of beverages. Of the 3 visits so far, the staff have always been friendly and attentive - my new local!

    The burgers are better at.... The Hayberry

    Great spicy chicken wings - very authentic. Good vibe and tap beer. Awesome blue cheese sauce. And the heaters were nice and warm.

They were clear on beer though- the ones on either end- but I don't drink beer so I don't care. I ordered the Paraíso cocktail first, not on special, then a margarita, not on special also a glass of rosé wine also, not on special. The sign says- wine, beer, cocktails. The margarita was good but took 15 minutes, I think the one guy was newer and didn't know where things were.

This is the first time we have tried it again since the review below. Seems not much has changed and in fact has become more about what the manager wants rather than their patrons - you know, the people that put money in your POS. No real change to the wine list - dreadful options and very limited beer and alternate options downstairs. There is more upstairs but should I really have to walk upstairs every time I want to get a drink? The day we went, the sport on the TV is determined by what the manager wants to watch - even if the groups sitting in the area are all asking for a specific game. There was literally no one left sitting in front of the main screen, instead all huddled around a small screen inside. Broke up our group. Service rating down - this has NOTHING to do with the staff behind the bar who are delightful working the best they can with what they are given. This downgrade is purely a reflection of the service of the owners / managers and consideration of their patrons.

    This was one of those places that I almost broke my rule of having at least one beer at any pub I…read morevisit for the first time, though I am not necessarily going to call this place a pub because that would be too nice. Yeah, if you could consider a place that only has pokie machines a casino then this is basically what this place is (and I believe that is the case in locals that happen to be overseas). Anyway, so that I feel comfortable letting people know what to expect when they come here, I decided that I would have one beer, and then go and find some place else to spend my time.

    Are you a sucker for cheap drinks? Then this place is for you! Monkey Bar is established in…read moreChatswood CBD and is close to The Orchard and Chelsea Hotel Bar. Start the night off at Monkey Bar before bar hopping your way around Chatswood. The food at Monkey is of star quality and will be luring you back again for another feed. I love the fact that Monkey Bar is open until 3am from Monday- Saturday, a rarity nowadays! While the bar itself is a little on the seedy side, the cheap drinks and the delectable food sure make up for it. The frosted glass in the girls bathroom is a little off putting but after a few drinks you won't notice. The frosting barely shows anything, but at first its a bit daunting. Happy Hour starts at 5pm and ceases at 7pm. Schooners are attractively priced at $3.50 and with karaoke on Thursday evenings, it's bound to be a loose night. For those who can't get enough of Mexican food, Monkey Bar hosts an all-you-can-eat night on Thursdays. They also have functions for Christmas and Melbourne Cup. Poker nights occur on Wednesday's and is best savoured with a cheap drink or two! For a full list of weekly specials visit their website and click "menu". Champers at $2.50 on a Friday between 4-6pm is almost unbeatable in terms of price! The staff are also really talented at creative shots and cocktails.

Sure, it's not that large, but it is large enough, though it does happen to be on the second floor.

However, there was a good selection of beers on tap, so I really can't complain all that much about it.

This used to be a rough and tumble, don't bring your real teeth with you, argy bargy worker pub back in the day --- and quite frankly nothing's changed. Well the decor has. Sure it looks nicer inside, but really they haven't attempted to shift the clientelle to their new look (I was in there after all ha!) The Orchard has large pointless areas, like their pool room which is about as sterile as Royal North Shore, Ward 3. They also have a large bank of TAB monitors which dominate the presence of the place. Hence they attract that unsavoury element by having them *in* rather than *adjacent to* the public bar. They do offer food, and it is generally quite good, but after half a dozen bowls of loudmouth soup, everything tastes good (even 3 month old Mrs Macs pies from 7-eleven or those nukeable cheeseburgers) so it's a little more difficult to gauge the restaurant. I'll let someone else give that a stab. In terms of the atmoshpere unless you are there to drink yourself stupid whilst punting on the tab; or getting a few cheapies in before heading somewhere else; I wouldn't bother going. If you are looking for a fun time, you'll probably find it elsewhere methinks. There's better places to chill in Chatswood, so why was I at the Orchard? Convenience, and post German beer hall, friendlier to the wallet and the liver, but ultimately I ended up somewhere else.

I'm somewhat comforted to see that this isn't an exact science for anyone else either. Which is why I got to witness a most awkward set up with couple voted "least likely to hit it off". Thankfully this all went down at Foxtrot Inn, that wonderful small bar in Crows Nest that I always forget about because it is nowhere near anything (except Lynn's Fortuna Court - the original old-school Chinese restaurant). No one else knows it's here either. On a Friday evening it's pretty quiet. Foxtrot has everything you could ask for in a small bar. The maze-like layout means there is something to discover around every corner. The drinks and cocktail selection is extensive and the food menu is pretty good. Did I mention the condiments? Oh the condiments! Tabasco, Cholula and that white rhino of condiments Frank's Red Hot. Delightful.
