    A more fancy pub with a tasty menu to match. This place is pretty big they have the locals style pub downstairs with the pokies and then the botanical garden inspired bistro upstairs with carpet to match! Delicous tasty cocktails (try the passion martini). From salt & pepper squid, fish cakes and peking duck spring rolls - you know the mains will be good. We got to try their popular beef ribs! So good - good sauce content and went well with the coleslaw! Good atmosphere and great meals too!

    Love coming here for a drink as my sister lives so close. Great to take the kids for lunch as well. I've had the fish and chips before and they were nice. At my last visit got some tapas to share. The meatballs were SO expensive and a really small serve. The fish cakes were nice not traditional at all but still nice. I also like the fat chips.

    It's a punch bowl!

    We went here when I won the 4 dinner pass from Yelp to check out their new digs... There's a sweet entrance next door to the actual pub that's coloured in sky blues and stairs leading upstairs. Follow the stairs and then at the top turn right to be seated. We asked for outside seats as it was a beautiful spring day and we wanted to enjoy the evening. Being that there were 4 of us we decided that we would rather order a few plates from the entrees to the mains and split them so we all got to taste what was on offer. The staff were lovely and accommodating to our rather unusual set up. And OH EM GEE y'all! They have PUNCH BOWLS of booze. Er. I mean. Cocktails. PUNCH BOWLS. And they have these wee flowers inside them that are PERFECT for a spring day. It was light, summery and went down a treat. We loved our punch bowl and so did all the diners around us. I'm pretty sure they thought were must be the local lushes! The lamb chops were rather tasty, a bit on the fatty side but we enjoyed them. The steak was also rather yum. We had the prawn dumplings, duck spring rolls and a salad to even the mix out. Everything went down a treat. If you are looking for a nice pub dinner then this place will fit the bill rather nicely. The outside balcony area has fans for summer and heaters for winter so either way you should be comfortable outside. The local birds zoom up and down the street yelling their joy at flying so you even have entertainment. Would I go there again? Yeah, it was a decent meal for a decent price and the balcony was lovely to sit outside on during the warm evening. Thanks Yelp for a lovely night out! We all enjoyed ourselves!

    A very, very welcome addition to Marrickville. It's a pub you actually want to spend time in!…read more They've done a good job with the layout. It's large, spacious, very open-feeling. 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.

    New! It must be a brand new pub. There was never a pub here before…read more.. Turns out, after some research, that the Ritz holds the license from the old owners of the Henson Park hotel. I was curious and It had to be looked up because they have a huge Pokie room here. Which, in our times, the license for is hard to get, let alone a license for a brand new pub. I liked the vibe. A two level pub, still under construction, there is an upstairs area that I snuck a look at. Perhaps a restaurant upstairs soon, and it's own rooftop parking. A good idea considering the traffic will probably spill over into local residential areas otherwise. Marrickville council staff had booked out the entire front section for their Xmas party, truth be told. ( Had me wondering about all the approvals and red tape, just for a laugh...) They were partying hard to the live music act, which sounded good up the front, but the speakers in the back eating area, did no justice to the sound. Volume was wrong. Could do with a better ambient sound system to even out the chat/music ratio. The decor I found to be pretty naff. The big light bulb lit "RITZ" looks cool from the street, but inside, the mix of old barrels which were really awkward to try and eat food on, to the old cable spool, smaller round tables seemed mismatched to the brand new tiling and the pre-print "vintage newspaper" wallpaper. Along with an attempt at rustic, with a mix of old lounge chairs and stuff that looked like it was picked up at council clean up, and brand new upholstered chaise style lounges, to me it was having a bit of an identity crisis. Down to the grit, the food here is really good. I had the Pumpkin and goats cheese Ravioli with some guilty pleasure, Butter and Walnut sauce. The Burger is also pretty tasty. Although I think some places do not understand the need for an actual plate when you order a burger, and that those wooden boards do not work. They have a good selection of Salad choices too. I was torn between a pulled pork roll and the Prawn and chorizo salad or the pasta. In the end I flipped a coin between the pork and the ravioli. I just couldn't choose. Thanks to "heads" I was pretty happy with my meal. They have some really good Wine choices, for a reasonable by the glass price. Beer on tap included Fat Yak. Cool for over 30s crowd. Was pretty packed for a Friday night. Parking is currently hard to get. A good edition to an ever gentrified Marrickville.
