Advertising can be a misleading thing. I drove past once and saw a sign out the front promoting. Pirate Life IPA on tap. Perfect! Get in and the only craft option was Goose Island IPA. 15 taps of standard pub beer. A big Irish themed pub with sports bar, TAB, beer garden and pokies. It will also have live music of a weekend. The bistro … Continue reading Dicey Riley’s in Wollongong
Good old social pub in the heart of the South Coast. Big beer garden out the front for social get together, decent bistro with all the pub classics and then some and over 25 taps of beer, craft beer, premix spirits and wine. Inside is the room to cater to live music on the weekends, plenty of TVs for sport, pool tables, TAB machines and … Continue reading Beaches Hotel in Thirroul
Another Harris St local directly across from the Terminus. Nice outdoor beer garden and bistro with burgers, seafood mains and daily specials. Small TAB for the punters and small pokie room if you want a quick slap. 12 taps mostly made up of Lion beers but did have Bentspoke Crankshaft on when I visited so knocked a few of them back. Didn’t venture upstairs but … Continue reading Pyrmont Point Hotel in Pyrmont
Unassuming corner pub with an inner city beer garden and upstairs area for dining. Great place for a work team lunch on a Friday with modern pub menu highlighted by a Chicken Curry Pie or Gnocchi. Steaks and chicken schnitties and a couple burger option if that’s what you after. Looked like about 16 taps of big beer brands and a few rotating and permanent … Continue reading Terminus Hotel in Pyrmont
Harris St has a plethora of pubs so sometimes it’s understandable that you go past one constantly and never step inside. That’s the Harly for me. Truth is, it’s a good little pub with modern pub classics on the menu, some pokies, TVs for sport and about 12 taps of beer with a craft beer special every few weeks. On my visit I had the … Continue reading Harlequin Inn in Pyrmont
Good meeting spot for after work beers. All the standard range on tap plus exclusive beers. On my trip I had the Capt’n Steamo, a Californian Common Ale. Decent menu of share plate, burgers, pizza, salads and cuts of beef. Little live music stage and a casual atmosphere on the shores of the Brisbane River. Worth a trip if nothing else.

Great neighbourhood craft beer bar with 31 speciality taps of craft beer. Cosy inside with tables for groups or seating at the bar. There’s few TVs for sport and giant taxidermy animal heads adorn the walls. There is a small pokies room and seating outside on the footpath for the filthy smokers. The food is supplied by the burger place Ze Pickle that is across … Continue reading The Keg & Brew in Surry Hills
