A good place to enjoy live jazz music on the first Thursday of every month. Prices are reasonable with no minimum charge per head. The rooftop has good city view. Very friendly staff.

This place was going off. Met up for a pub club a few ales, and there a lot on offer and a great little burger. There was a cool jazz trio playing to lift the vibe. It was a Tuesday so a pretty small crown but still had a hospitable feel. I had the DD burger which was delicious and a great portion, but seemed a little small on arrival. But my heart is happy with the size and the great serve of chips on the side. Before we left we went to the rooftop which has amazing views to the city skyline and lights.

Cozy bar with a heavy focus on drinks with a good number of snacks and meal options available. Good for groups. Our group had different burgers, chips, cauliflower wings with maple aioli, chips, Haloumi chips and Taco plates. Everything was tasty and gobbled up so quickly that I forgot to take pictures. Chips were the only thing that was overdone (or refried). Good range of options for wines, alcohol, ciders etc. as well.

New owners have done wonders! The food is great, drinks even better, and the staff were awesome. They have a rooftop terrace, pool table, and food specials/happy hours every day.

Tuesday night, not too crowded but full enough for a great vibe. Three piece jazz group (guitar, double bass and sax) set the scene - great pieces, not overpowering. Friendly bar service, great cocktails, great roof top bar with city views. Recommend the tacos. Harks back to the 80s in Sydney where entertainment in bars was ubiquitous. We really need to support this sort of place in Sydney.
