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?

Excelsior Hotel, Surry Hills

64 Foveaux Street, Surry Hills
Reviewers present: Joe Blogs, Burger Bot and special guest Fraulein Burgman
Review time: Late arvo beverage

"Pub meets Mexico in the Eastern Suburbs"


Food is good, food is cheap.
Beer is good, unfortunately beer is not cheap.

I think all the reviewers may have been to the Excelsior at some point, both while in it's current all-the-rage Mexican/Spanish-fad bar incarnation as well as back in the day when it was the place to go for live music. There's an old relic kick drum to be spotted in the front bar but I think that's about it for it's gig history these days. A shame.

Queen Victoria Hotel, Enmore

167 Enmore Road, Enmore
Reviewers present: BurgerBot, Joe Blogs
Time of day: The dinner shift



"Something something for everyone!"



(that's "3.5 rubber chickens" in the old system)


One could quite easily walk right by this Enmore Road establishment, without giving it much of a look-in except if you were looking for a bottle shop or a gambling den. The front of the QVH is dominated by these two things, hiding the potential that lies within.
