Pub
•Amid the glass towers, flashing lights and the hustle of modern Sydney city life stands a castle - The Edinburgh Castle. An iconic Sydney landmark since 1885, Edinburgh Castle is a timeless testament to the spirit of the city’s traditional pubs and historic hotels. Preserved by the laughter and spirit of tales past, the hotel’s walls were once a refuge to some of the country’s most famed creatives. A storied pub was known as Henry Lawson’s chosen writing nook, quenching theirthirst and bearing witness to some of his greatest poems and short stories. Today, Edinburgh Castle enters a new era by rewriting the rules on Sydney pubs. As you walk through our castle's gates, you’ll be met by a warm and knowledgeable team whose great service rests on good old-fashioned values.

Reviews for The Edinburgh Castle
Chad Robinson
Old school bar, the old style floor and wall tiles, mirrors and glass work , the timber carpentry. The bars awesome. Must be why the place is packed. There is plenty of TV to look at and a tab.
Daniel Church
Cosy, family friendly pub. Good service, great selection of beers on tap and really good quality meals that are well priced. Also has a big screen and TV if you're watching sport.

It’s good but service is way off. Rude staff, mixed up my order (didn’t ask for fries). And I could sympathize in a busy night (hey it happens) - but it was me and 3 others orders. Steak was really tasty though so can’t fault it. Would go back, and it is probably the best pub in Sydney based on food and options.

We arrived here at about 4pm on a weekday and it was a little busy, however by 5pm the place was buzzing with so many people indicating just how popular this place is. Upon the upstairs area opening at 5pm we decided to move on upstairs which was a great decision. A little more comfortable if deciding to eat here. The atmosphere was great, and the options of food were your usual pub grub. We ordered the Schnitty Stacker which the mushy peas was the highlight.

When the menu says gluten free options that only works if you’re not a coeliac. I wanted the calamari but it’s cooked in the same fryer as everything else. I’m all for seasoning food but someone in the kitchen it very heavy handed with their salt. The steak, mash and gravy all had way to much. Great atmosphere though. Salad was only mixed greens, Parmesan and dressing.
