Grand Hotel, Sydney

Reviewers: Burger Bot and Blogs

"Grand Ahoy!"

Sail on into yet another Merivale establishment, The Grand Hotel, and enjoy some beers, food and sail away to the sounds of Enya.

Sandringham Hotel, Newtown

The Sandringham Hotel / The Sando
387 King Street, Newtown
*Former pub

"Thanks! Cheers! Bye!"

Although the Sando is dead, we couldn't leave it off our Sydney Pub List. It's a pub we had been to many times but we never quite got around to writing it up here, so for the record, here is our memory of Newtown's Sandringham Hotel.

Le Pub, Sydney

Basement, 66 King St
(Stair entrances from both King St & York St)
Sydney NSW 2000 Australia

 

"Aperçu de Le Pub!"

Although Le Pub is not quite a "pub", it is quite enjoyable, and that's why we've included it here on our Sydney Pub List. Enjoy a little Paris in the heart of Sydney.

Forbes Hotel, Sydney

30 York Street, Sydney
Reviewers present: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs
Time of review: Friday Lunch

Is this Sydney's Worst Burger? So far, yes.

It's Friday lunchtime, Bot and Blogs are looking for lunch and come across this inner-city Sydney pub, Forbes Hotel. Everywhere else was full and unfortunately for them, they felt obliged to tick it off the list. It was regretful.

Australian Youth Hotel, Glebe

63 Bay Street, Glebe
Reviewers present: Millerkands, Robot Simone, Joe Blogs, Burger Bot, Frau
Time of review: Saturday Lunch

"A wooden gooden"

Glebe seems to have a certain style of pub, a bit different to some of those in nearby Inner-west suburbs, one of which is the Australian Youth Hotel tucked away in the backstreets. Backstreets back alright!

Warren View Hotel, Enmore

2 Stanmore Road, Enmore
Reviewers present: Burger Bot & Frau, Millerkands, Simojoe
Time of review: Saturday lunch, Australia Day

"Who is Warren? And what is he looking at?"

Lovingly decorated out the front with traffic lights and a giant 'Canterbury >' sign. The Warren View (or "Wazza") is probably Enmore's greenest pub. What else?

Hotel Coronation, Sydney

The Park Street Bar / Hotel Coronation
5-7 Park Street, Sydney
Reviewers: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs
Time of review: Friday lunch

"Cheap, or is it?"

(schmiddy)

After a long hot walk half way around the city, Bot and Blogs eventually found themselves grabbing a high stool at the "Park Street Bar", the pubic bar of Hotel Coronation on Park Street. Not exactly a stunning looking bar but that said, they weren't turned off immediately and a cold brew satisfied their thirst. But what was it that left the reviewers with a bad taste in their mouths?

Wynyard Hotel, Sydney

107 Clarence Street, Sydney
Reviewers present: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs.
Review Time: Monday Lunch

"Grab a spot up front, avoid Toilet Tunnel"

As the name suggests, the Wynyard Hotel is located in the Wynyard area of the CBD - ie, the area nearby Wynyard Station. This corner pub, on the Erskine and Clarence intersection, was founded in the later half of the 19th century and currently operates under the Merivale umbrella.
