Reviews for The Bank Newtown

This was a serendipitous find as we wandered in Newtown, and what a wonderful surprise! Our server/bartender Sarah was delightful and went out of their way to get finger limes for our delicious cocktails. My husband had the best lamb of our whole 2 week holiday in Sydney! My salad was perfect and the garden seating was so lovely.

The Bank Hotel in Newtown has a fantastic atmosphere — the garden dining area is super chill, and it’s a great spot for casual drinks and catch-ups. The food was decent once it arrived, but the ordering process left a lot to be desired. They operate with two separate menus (one for the bar, one for garden dining), which isn’t made clear upfront. We wanted something off the bar menu while seated outside, and were told to order it at the bar — only to be told later that the item “doesn’t exist” in their system anymore, despite it still being listed on both the physical menu and website. It made ordering frustrating and unnecessarily complicated. To top it off, our food took almost 40 minutes to arrive. Overall, it’s a great vibe and the drinks hit the spot, but the service and menu clarity could definitely use some tightening up.

Bit of a wait for food as they were busy - but the staff gave updates on when it would be coming. The staff were great all day. Absolutely worth the wait as it was delicious. Squid fantastic, steak phenomenal.

A friend and myself ordered food at around 7pm on 25/1/2025. The place was at about 75% capacity so wasn’t too busy. It took around 20 minutes for both our drinks to be brought over. When the food arrived, both our orders (steak and lamb) were dangerously undercooked, so we sent them back. When they were brought out again, the kitchen gave us a complimentary steak on the house. The food that we ordered was overall tasty, however the complimentary wasn’t evenly cooked, being med-med well on one side and borderline rare on the other. Attached is a photo of the complimentary steak

visited your venue last night and wanted to share some feedback. At one point, a security guard approached me and my friend and asked us to leave, assuming we were intoxicated. We were not drunk and responded respectfully, but the situation felt unfair and uncomfortable. I understand that security has a job to do, but I would’ve appreciated being spoken to with more courtesy or given a chance to explain ourselves before being confronted in that way. I just wanted to bring this to your attention — I hope future interactions with guests can be handled with more care.
