First licensed in December 1878, the Taphouse Darlinghurst (then known as the Palace Hotel) stands tall today as a testament to Sydney's hard-drinking past. Set on the corner of Flinders and South Dowling streets with two original levels, plus an open-air rooftop bar added in 2009, the venue is situated close to the CBD while still enjoying the leafy surrounds of Darlinghurst and Paddington. The pub became Sydney's very first craft beer venue in 2008, when it was reimagined into its current form, pouring hundreds of different craft beers over its 60 taps each year. Since then, the venue has gone from strength to strength, winning Best Beer Bar at the 2019 Timeout Bar Awards, and taking the top spot in Beer & Brewer's 2019 Best Beer Venue awards. The Taphouse offers three very different experiences across its three levels. We know how to throw a party, and we are delighted at the prospect of hosting your next event!
With a great atmosphere, impressive service, amazing Sunday roast and a good range of beer selection, this local taphouse is the place to be!

Only 98$ for a portion of mud crab! It’s a huge crab with lots of meat, especially in the two big claws. It’s served over egg noodles soaked in flavorful broth! Highly recommended!

Rooftop is epic during sunset! Food and cocktails are delicious, the bar staff are super friendly too! Also, a shout to Jake for the menu recommendations.

A mate frequents this place often of late. New great menu ! I haven’t been here for over 10 years. An easy ride on a lime bike for me to and from. We tried to order mud crab early to ensure it was available for our mini feast. They only had one and I was happy to make the trip to the fish markets. Alas the chef came through with the goods and 2 x were supplied. We had chilli garlic and ginger shallot mud crab (one crab each way) + numbing chicken , sweet sour pork with fried rice. All food was amazing. Doggie bags were taken and enjoyed the next day. Review the online menu to see current version. Plenty of food for 3 hungry men with plenty of options for tasty ales to enjoy. Zoom in on one of the pics and check out the extensive list on offer. . Atmosphere built while we were there. I highly recommend and will be back more often with this kind of menu.

I can’t fault the place the Chinese food menu is great inventive and delicious I think they go other pub fare but I haven’t tried it yet finding the Chinese option a delight. The on tap wines and beers are excellent and at a price that’s comfortable. The service is cheerful prompt and convivial. The rooftop bar and restaurant are particularly charming and the other bars have their charms as well. It’s not expensive by today’s standards and what you get is great quality and carefully crafted. It’s a sure bet for a satisfying delightful night sky dining experience without needing to drain the wallet.

Visited on Sunday evening with a group of 6 friends after a busy day on the water Whale Watching, we were super hunger to say the least, TH Sunday special 100% hit the spot. As soon as we walked in the smell was amazing, we opted for the Sunday shenanigans, $34 banquet and it was awesome. Very generous portion sizing between two of us to share, it was all super tasty and reminded me of home. The chilli chicken was the highlight of the meal, pack full of flavour. All washed down with a $12 Guinness. A cosy local pub with delicious food, lovely staff and very good Guinness. This is going to be a new local Sunday visit for sure.
