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!

Adam Chung
Overall: high 4/7 personally It’s good vibes and a good location to catch up - less if a good place for food. Do note that some of their more “special” items are specials that are only available on certain days of the week. Upstairs is very cool! Just quite hot in the summer. Spice bag: 5/7 Pretty good! All well fried and decently seasoned. Curry sauce is good pairing. Signature fried rice: 4/7 Pretty typical, decently fried. Fairly sizeable portion, we got the regular. Chilli chicken: 4/7 Chicken is reasonably fried and not overly dry. Just feel it’s drowned in too much sauce. Otherwise good.

On my quest to try every Spice Bag in Sydney, Taphouse really sets the bar high. Ticked every box for the dish and especially the curry Sauce which I wanted to marry. Super friendly service both in greeting and stopping for a chat on the way out. Impressive selection of tap beers too.

Love this place! We walked in with our dog and asked if we could take her upstairs to the rooftop (yes). They checked if there was an avail table which there wasn’t, so we chose a seat in the GF. A few mins later they came and said they had found us a table upstairs - what great service!! Food - we had the spice bag which was mild in heat but packed with flavour. Also had the peanut noodle, again lots of flavour and high on the yum scale!! Great spot - perfect for a sunny day/evening. Staff super friendly. And surprisingly was easy to find a park on a Friday night.

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.
