M. P.

The Union is an old pub with an excellent range of craft beers and a great assortment of seating areas, whether your looking for a traditional style pub experience or a modern bistro style seating at the back. My only gripe was that the food needs improving as I was served semi frozen peas with my pie, which then got nuked into oblivion. My friends said their burgers were average with luke warm fries. Great place to drink and catch up with friends but very average food for Newtown.

P.

Excellent quality food and friendly staff! The Super Fresh triple IPA was so delicious and fun at 10% alcohol. The Wham Bam Lamb Roll was so good; the roll was fresh and sweet like brioche. The Chicken Leek Pie was perfect. The only criticisms were no outdoor dining area, and some indoor eating areas were too dark. Also, the menus were old and awful to handle.

J. G.

Always a lovely classic pub to go to. Lovely service, fantastic food. Lively of an evening, quiet and fairly relaxed during the day. Taplist is probably the best in Newtown

A. M.

Sign said proper good beer. Nice selection on tap. Pub does what it said on the tin. 10 thumbs up

G. S.

Great halloumi burger and wonderful customer service. The girl behind the drinks bar made a remarkable gin tasting tray for me and didn't call me a Karen (I was being a borderline Karen honestly). Good atmosphere and a different vibe in whatever room you happen to be in.

m. s.

Great relaxed atmosphere, good service. My craft beer loving husband was in heaven and my fish tacos were tasty!

C. F.

Beer selection is up there with the best of them. Plenty of local independent beers and the taps regularly update with new options and the bottle shop next door has an equally impressive selection and the best take-away bottle shop if any pub in Newtown The food is up there with the best pubs. It’s not fine dining but they have an awesome selection of great sandwiches, burgers and pub classics which are all pretty solid and come hot and fast. Free pool on Sundays in the air con or sit out in the big beer garden

S.

A great venue that continually surprises with new types of beer. Tonight is Oat Cream night and I’m ok with them. The one thing I truly wish that the Union would fix is the women’s toilets. Please get proper toilets and seats that affix to one another.

H. C.

Great selection of craft beers and spirits. You can get a great tasting paddle here! The staff have a good knowledge of the products too. They can give you a description of anything that they have on offer, and you can ask for a tatse of any beer that you're interested in, before you buy it. Decent bistro too. And they have pool tables and sports on the telly. Good all-round pub. They have a little beer garden out the back too.

G. W.

Great and friendly staff, and I loved the vibe of the restaurant out the back. The chicken parmy was amazing (the best I’ve had in a long time).

M. C.

I was shocked at how good the beer tap list was! It might’ve been just luck, but there were multiple beers from Garage Project, Mountain Culture and a bunch of independent breweries.

D. H.

Always seems to have a great selection of craft beers on tap & in the fridge. Would have been even better if the pool tables were available to use.

A. W.

Just got myself a cheeseburger with added bacon, and have to say that was the best burger I've had in ages! Fresh ingredients, delicious patty. The whole thing, as well as the fries and side of mayo I got, were a great size. Staff were friendly and wait wasn't long either. Honestly have nothing to criticise, super happy with everything and will definitely be back!

A. h.

After issues with security at Mountain goat,I found this place I ordered a steak absolutely delicious then washed it down with afew beers so many choices so decided to try afew new ones very impressive staff was great very polite made the experience very welcoming looking forward to another night out at the union👍

H. L.

Always awesome selection of beers on tap and the connected bottleshop is a gold mine of good craft. The food is really decent pubgrub.

G. D.

If you like craft beer, this is the pub for you! Different beers constantly being tapped and they provide tasting paddles, so you can try as many as possible. They also frequently have tap take over events from local breweries. Good food, great whisky & gin selection, friendly staff, highly recommend!

J. C.

Foods were great here i couldn't get the photo but it was great. Good variety of beers, good service. I left when musician was getting ready..which is shame but this place is worth a visit

P. C.

Awesome local pub in Newtown. "No kids allowed" in front bar and the pub encourages parents not to bring their kids to the bistro either. Finally good news to pub-goers who dont want to drink with small children hanging around.

M. B.

My favorite local to sample the best of inner west to international beers. Great kitchen and an amazing beer and whiskey selection. Plenty of seating and great staff. Check out the beer paddles to get a sample of up to five beers. The Union is always a great venue.

A. S.

Awesome selection of craft and one of a kind beers. Featured taps are superb. Enjoyed a paddle to sample a handful of them!

J. W.

Great selection of beer on tap and bottles. Big venue with regular ‘Tap takeovers’ and a very good food venue. Had the southern chicken burger, very tasty. Only detractor, they were out of the very beer I came to try! 😛

M. G.

Great selection of craft beer on tap! Plus they have take aways and growler fills!

R. E. c.

Great spot for a beer and a meal with a good atmosphere and plenty of space to sit be it the bar or meals aria there have 2 or more big well catered bars . The food comes quick and at a reasonable prices

A. B.

A great pub with relaxed atmosphere, cold beer, and good food. Also hosted the awards ceremony for Sydney Beer Week in 2017.

S. D.

Good food, great beer selection and the restaurant is baby friendly! Their vegan burger was really nice (although I'm not vegan).

N. G.

Always got an awesome selection of craft beers, keeps me coming back!

S. B.

My favourite Newtown local. They’ve always got a new selection of craft beers on tap. Staff are super friendly and happy to offer opinions on their favourite beer of the week. Typical range of decent pub fare if you fancy a feed.

S. W.

Staff are lovely, food is ok but remember it is a pub not fine dining. Range of beers is great. The only thing is the smoking area leaks into the back bar and is off putting while you are trying to eat.

J. N.

Love eating at Arties. Great food and atmosphere! Friends and attentive staff!

K.

A favourite Newtown pub. Awesome selection of beers on tap. Decent food - can't go past the mac & cheese bites.

C.

Good beers, a good "sometimes" bar

P. S.

Great variety of beers on tap and available in the bottle shop

R. H.

*amazing* beer selection, definitely get a flight and try a range you don’t normally see on tap. As for the food, stay away from the ‘southern fried chicken wings’. Nothing southern about them, they’re under seasoned and bland and the sauce they give with it is *weird*

M. H. (.

Great pub with great bistro

T. P.

Best beers and pub food in town🔥 10/10 everytime

A. S.

Food was delicious and great live music to sit around and vibe with

B. R.

Union hotel is comfortably accessible from Newtown/St.Peters train station. Located on the bustling King street, this place offers a great seating capacity and some fine brewed beverages. Their food is strictly pub food with burgers, pizzas etc which is presented well and tastes good. It's suitable for people of all ages. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, you definitely need a booking to get in - walkins are difficult!

C. M.

Good pub! I was there last night for trivia. The chicken schnitzel was good as was the Mac n cheese croquettes. Food and drinks were a little pricey, that's why you lost a star.

M. T.

Lovely pub with beautiful food which is also so cheap considering the quality. Chiclen parmy and the barramundi are mine amd my mrs favourites. Also for a nughty but super-filling snack go the mac and cheese balls. Also an amazing selection of craft beers on tap. What more can you ask for?

E. K.

Basically everything was great. I will rate it 5 stars when I've been back again if the service and atmosphere is always that good. I was very happy with the interactions with the staff. They were knowledgeable about the beers and friendly. They were happy to engage in a conversation to help you choose which of the excellent selection would best suit you. The quality and range of the beers on offer is great. The crowd (It was about 8pm on a Thursday) were all good natured and I felt safe. The pub ran a raffle and the patrons all seemed to enjoy the participation. I would totally recommend this place and use used their bottle shop and had similarly good experiences there too.

D. M.

Good atmosphere. Did not order meal but they looked good and seemed to be coming out quickly considering the size of my group most of whom had ordered. However I did not find any of the beers which I normally drink so ordered a pilsener which I did not know if I would like. It was OK but not outstanding.

S. Y.

I love this place. One of the best craft beer pubs in Sydney. I am just sooo tired of snooty teenager service. Please spend some time training young staff about being nice to customers. We actually contribute to paying their wage. It's not hard, and I'm not a 'challenging' customer. Quite the opposite. And I do write reviews, as do many. Happy to talk to anyone regarding my experience.

J. G.

Excellent seasonal beer menu and great food from the bistro. Very consistent! Good bottle-shop selections too for home time.

K. A.

I haven't been here in years but the atmosphere was really nice, full but not packed ambience in an early Saturday evening. The food was nice, especially the dips which were fresh and generous. I liked the range of on tap beers and ciders. Nice place for a chat, but book a table if you want to bring a group to the bistro.

L. C.

The madness of the mudman's curse follows me everywhere I go. It's slimy, grotesque form stalks me from the shadows. Everywhere except for the Union Hotel. The walls here are covered in moths rich in anti-mud magic. The horrors of our eldritch earthy overloads cannot penetrate the sanctuary of this pub. In fact, the beer here is brewed in ancient cauldrons gilded in Aztec gold. As such, the product invigorates the consumer to a point that they repel creatures such as the mudmen for a short while after leaving. This establishment is quite simply my safe space. To any afflicted with the knowledge of the beyond, you will find rest here. Would recommend to any and everyone.

R. K.

The Union has one of the best beer selections in the country, methinks. They are always adventurous with their brew lineup, and always supportive of the local-crafted product. Awesome bands, always free, what's not to like... :) Also, compliments to the kitchen staff for the delicious spinach and ricotta dumplings. They were quite compact, almost like home-made gnocchi, but so savoury and tasty.

A. O.

Great selection of craft beers and tasty food in a good location.

G. O.

Nice selection of craft beers and a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. The menu is average and a little pricey. Pool table and lounges and an outdoor smoking area. Medium sized gaming lounge. Overall decent pub to chill with friends or have a quiet drink.

A. S.

I really enjoy this place. They are happy for you to have kids with you (as long as they don't run around) BEVERAGES • Huge selection of beers on tap. Looking forward to returning to try some more. FOOD • A great selection of burgers.. always a struggle to choose from the menu as they all sound so good. SERVICE • Just basic bar service, seemed friendly enough. PRICE • A little bit $$$ for pub food. But certainly taste better than regular pub food. Food looked so good I got excited and forgot to take a photo!

C. L.

Always an incredible range of beers. The bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the place is large enough with enough annexes to offer different types of ambience depending on your mood or requirements.

J. M.

The union is a great spot to catch up with mates over a few bevies. They have a great selection of tap and bottled beers, and an awesome selection of wines. The food is fantastic too, and if you are able to get in there when the live music is on, it just adds to the experience. This place is definitely a favourite.

C. L.

Food is overpriced but the selection of beers is worth a visit. The union is one of my local venues and never ceases to satisfy. There is a decent sized dining area separate from the main bar and smoking courtyard.

R. B.

The Union ticks all the boxes: ever-changing broad range of craft beers on tap, friendly staff, good pub food with veg & healthy choices, and a spacious back room with all the beers on tap of the front bar. Possibly my most-visited pub in Oz and I live 45 mins away.

A. C.

Food was amazing! We got the kangaroo (which was soooooo tender it melted in my mouth) and the jalapeno burger (which was huge and juicy). We left satisfied from the quality of the food and with the wide variety of beer available on tap. Awesome place and i can't wait to come again 👌

R.

1st time visit random Monday night walk in, and i was impressed with the interior. Outside pretty standard but really impressed with indoor areas, seating, bar, 2 pool tables(free Monday's) and the dinner area along with outdoor courtyard it's pretty cool, very nicely done. $12 cheese burger definitely worth the buck!

D. K.

Awesome place, go there often. Good staff, good beer, good people, good atmosphere. Just so you know, kitchen doesn't stay open all night, so make sure your belly is full by 10. FYI Mac and cheese, meatball sub, and Nintendo Tuesdays are the staple of this pub! And if you dont like that, you're a communist...

G. F.

Great place for beer selection on tap & fridge. Food in bistro very good. Pool tables straight & rolls good. Can talk to to most visitors and have a good conversation.

J. A.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Menu Is extensive and not too badly priced. Shame the outdoor areas are full of smokers. Not pleasant to sit there sadly if you're a non smoker.

P. G.

Great pub for locals and visitors. Diverse beer choice on tap and quality house wines. Then there's the bistro. Quality food at reasonable prices. Great for families or friends for a night out. Kids are usually gone by about 18:30, if that's a concern. Front bar has live music and a trivia night. 👍👍👍

J. H.

This is an excellent pub for craft beer, that has managed to maintain its local feel despite a couple of upgrades. Pool tables and regular local bands add to the appeal, along with some excellent food options (check service times though). Only drawback is that the entire beer garden is now a smoking zone, meaning things is another inner west prob where you have to accept passive smiling to sit outdoors, which sucks, especially for those with kids.

P. G.

Not just really good food but great service as well. I had the kangaroo and it was cooked perfectly. Oir meals came quickly even though it was a busy Saturday night. Bar staff didn't charge me for soda waters as I was the designated driver. I'll definitely be going back next time I visit family in Sydney.

S.

I challenge anyone to fund a place with a larger variety of on tap craft beers. The variety is superb and they let you have a taste before purchasing. Have had a meal here which I enjoyed also. Probably one of the best pubs in Sydney.

S.

Probably the best pub in Sydney. Incredible beer selection, pool tables, a nice beer garden and a renovated bistro with great food. I've been here quite a lot and they put on occasional "tap-takeovers" from good breweries.

A. G.

Came for the craft beer and wasn't disappointed. A great range available on tap and some great american style bar food available. If you are after a great beer and a good feed it is well worth seeking out the Union.

L.

Lovely staff. Closer to St Peters station than Newtown train station as a heads up. The food is very average with a limited variety of options for the gluten/lactose free people. Parking can be very very difficult...be warned! Meals average $15-20 or so for dinner and the hotel is renown by locals for its live music scene. Would recommend if you're in the area. It does get very loud but there's also a great outdoor seating area too which is great.

R. A.

Nice atmosphere, great selection of beers, friendly staff

S. F.

I adore this pub for several reasons : 1) great live bands 2) everyone is welcome (diverse crowd, no frills) and 3) great food and drink 4) great service (no wait at the bar). Saw 2 amazing bands here (Lazy Colts and Pony Face) - no cover, total blast.

B. W.

We met a client here through the week and she really loved it! A regular for us, it has a great variety of beers on tap. The booths are comfy and cosy. The union is just a nice all round local pub that is what it is. A reliable place to go.

D. K.

Great selection of craft beers on the tap. Good vibe

L. M.

Great selection of beers, fun and friendly atmosphere and good staff. Has two pool tables and Nintendo 64 set up on some nights. The food is also very decent and affordable

T. G.

I like the food, big servings, tasty beer. A good pub feel, with a more trendy back area. If this place was a haircut, it would be a trendy mullet. Boring and unexciting at the front, but a great time in the back.

K. A.

Great food and drinks! Same wines as the rose and a lot better priced! Also lovely service, went to watch sport when we had three sports on at the same time. They were very willing to try and get the right sports on so we could see all three! Will definitely go back for another Ruben!

C. T.

One of the first pubs I visited since moving into St Peters and was made to feel welcome instantly. So many craft beers on tap - lots of live music - good food in the bistro and my favourite: Pool comp nights on Tuesday. Just a great place to unwind and have a drink with mates.

S. H.

Had dinner and a couple of drinks before going to see a show. We had the lamb roll and a burger. Both were delicious. Looking forward to going back.

M. G.

Good place to come by for a meal with a group or a yourself. Nice big dining room. I had the rump steak, it was full of grisly stuff and not much meat definitely not value for money. The chicken schnitzel was excellent and much better value.

M. M.

My favourite Sydney pub. Best rotating taps in Newtown, good food, friendly staff, excellent bottle shop.

J. W.

Great food and friendly staff however I feel their beer selection is very hipster and not overly diverse for the amount of taps they have. It's like 4 IPA's, 2-3 XPA's, 2-3 stouts, 1-2 pale ales and 2-3 urine (CUB) beers. Never any sweet, or easy drinking beers alikened to a larger, pilsner or wheat.

J. C.

It's all about the beers. An incredible and ever-rotating selection of craft beers. Not cheap, but they're worth it. The decor is unremarkable but there's a pretty nice beer garden and the food is decent too. The bottle shop has a good selection of craft beers but is overpriced.

A. M.

Favourite pub to visit when in Sydney, has the best selection of beers on taps and takeaways!

F. S.

Absolutely LOVE this pub Used to b my local many years ago & has only gotten better over the years

M. L.

Visited last night for trivia. Great to have plenty of options from the Hottest 100 Beers. Our group enjoyed the fries and garlic bread. In terms of trivia, we definitely won’t be back. Trivia starts at 7:30pm and by 10pm half our group left because the jackpot round was yet to be played and the winners announced. Can easily speed up the process by giving less time for questions. At the end of 10-20 questions have teams swap answer sheets and cross mark while the answers are read out. The trivia itself was a nice balance of tricky questions, topical questions and varying categories. Unfortunately on a Wednesday night after 10pm is too late to be finishing. TL;DR: Would return for the many beers available but not trivia.

P. S.

Great pub food, I went for significant birthday celebration. Only complant is they closed of the eatery area and chanelled people to front bar live music, too loud couldn't talk went home. Could have left the eatery area open which was quiet and people could go to front bar for drinks. Other complaint which i hate in any pub or eatery is no paper towels in mens toilet or alternative blow dryers.

M. B.

The Union Hotel is the only pub that was open at 10am when the NBA playoffs were on which, if you’re reading this outside of NBA playoff hours is not useful unless you’re an alcoholic then hey - I’ve just found your new favourite pub. They didn’t kick me out even though I had 4 jugs and kept screaming at the TV. God bless you, Union Hotel. Also toilets are big enough to do cartwheels in.

G. C.

I came here for a few drinks after attending a gig at New Theatre, just a few doors up the road. They had a great choice of beer on tap, and the staff were really friendly. We sat in the area out the back which shut quite early, so had to move into the front bar. It has everything you need from your local pub.

A. H.

The beef burger was the most delicious burger I have ever eaten. Head to the beer garden out the back for a laid back awesome atmosphere, then later on head inside to play pool and chill to your fave songs you can put on the jukebox - the staff even turned it up for the last half an hour for a pub dance party! I don't usually drink beer but I found the most delicious craft beer here. Will be back

E. L.

The beating heart of Newtown. Excellent trivia on a Wednesday night. Good grub. Nothing fancy, but nothing too overpriced either. The bistro out the back is a little more upmarket than the pub room out the front. Take your pick.

W. B.

Inside is quite run down. Needs a good refurb. Good selection of beers on tap and in bottles. Regular pub food and not overly priced. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Big screen Tv's showing sports and a pool table too.

S. P.

My favourite local pub - staff are great, and the beer, whiskey, and gin selections are all extensive, interesting, and frequently feature local. Wine list is pretty low key, and the bistro is nothing to write home about (although they mentioned an upcoming menu revamp, so here's to hoping!)

G. W.

The ambiance is lacking. The AC wasn't on and I had to ask them to turn it on. The chicken parmy was well cooked and tasty. The trivia host has no enthusiasm. There m maybe better nights but Wednesday wasn't it.

M. W.

Only came in for beers but had to give them points for having a surprisingly large number of taps. The beer selection is focused on local offerings. Good vibe, cool live music in the pool hall but we sat outside to we could chat.

A. J.

One of the last old-fashioned-looking Australian pubs. I've only been there once but based on how busy it was, it's obvious that the place is very popular with the locals. There's a large range of beers and the menu looked enticing.

M. C.

This place has improved out of sight over the last few years. Firstly they started serving a wider array of craft beers on tap, the biggest improvement by far. Secondly they improved the decor so it wasn't so sterile and dull. At this point they're pretty much spot on. Would love if they could NOT serve the craft beer so cold out of the tap. Ask the brewer, they'll say serve it a couple of degrees warmer than the usual cr*p beer. Secondly, if, during the day there's only a handful of people in there, they're all watching the sport on TV, how's about turning the bloody jukebox off and the TV up. It's not like it's a Friday night - cater to your audience.

L. C.

Great selection of beers on tap. Nice beer garden, though a little small. Had an Irish band playing just before I left that sounded fantastic!

S. C.

Perfect place to have some beers and hang out on a Sunday! Great atmosphere, cheap beer and nice fries!

M. K.

Its ok. The atmosphere is nice. The menue is basic. Staff are nice. It would be good if you could eat in the beer garden. Sunny day but courtyard beer garden is a smoking area. I thought it had a designated smoking area other then the beer garden so you have to eat inside.

H. A.

We went on Saturday night as they showed the rugby and you can take kids until 8pm. The food is decent and there is good craft tap beers. Portion size is normal and good value for money.

J.

Probably the best selection of craft beers on tap in Sydney. Excellent selection of local, national and international brews with 22 tap options and regularly renewed selection. Has a little adjoining bottle shop for takeaway souvenirs.

M. R.

Food could be something special, but is just standard fair

B.

A quiet Saturday lunch with a few drinks. Loved the food. Had the spicy meatball sub and the mac and cheese balls. Recommended for a tasty lunch and a few quiet drinks. It was quite empty not sure how it would fare when it's busy.

F. F.

Interesting beers? This is the place. I love the cheap burger nights. Food is reliably good. There's always new beers on tap so they keep us returning!

D. H.

Great place for a craft beer. The taps change regularly with N64 games on a Tuesday and live music on Friday and Saturday. Great place to catch up with friends.

P. E.

Has an excellent range of beers. Food is good, American style food. Often has live music on which can be noisy on front bar, but back bar is often much more quiet.

R. H.

If you like good craft beers & decent food you can't go wrong. Play some pool keep an eye on the footy or cricket & enjoy the laid back service and vibe. Even the odd band to get the weekend rocking.

C. D.

Great venue and a good selection of craft beers on tap. Food is good and the pool table are well kept too. Great local place

L.

Good old school pub on the south end of King St. Wide selection of craft beers and also a large selection of gins. Good food options out the back. Decent pub all round.

J. S.

Good food and atmosphere along with friendly staff plus pool tables which seem to be becoming a thing of the past. If you're after a local pub with an excellent selection of beer and gin then this is the place.

M. D.

The Union Hotel...I dont know about the food, it looks fine, I don't care too much about the pool table or the ok atmosphere, but omg the craft beers...20 beers on tap, the perfect place for a good one casually, or for their special events like dark beer weekends. Really a gem in Newtown!

A. B.

Great beer selection, good pub food and occasional free live music events. Just a bit too pokie focussed, and a bit lacking in atmosphere out the back for five stars. But the $18 beer tasting paddles alone are worth coming here.

M. M.

Amazing food and great stuff on tap. Be warned, bouncer is somewhat more uptight than any bouncer I've ever met.

R. D. S.

Intimate, friendly, authentic pub with regular free live performances by interesting local and national bands. Decent bistro grub down the back and a small yard right at the back for smokers and star gazers

S. P.

Enjoy the current restaurant licence owners food and feel. They finally turned the music down so you can actually chat now with brilliant share plates. Word of warning share plates vary dramatically depending on the team.

C. T.

Recently hosted a 50th birthday here' Andrew was extremely accommodating and the chefs could not have cooked better meals for the 20 guests that came. Everyone was extremely satisfied and the birthday girl was overwhelmed by how smooth the night went. Big thanks to all the staff for making a milestone birthday into a night that everyone will remember! 👍👍👍

P. W.

OMG if your website says you close at midnight but you shut at 9:45pm you have a very simple choice: update your website or stay open till your advertised closing time. Not rocket science!

A. H.

Large hotel with lots of different areas to sit.

Z. N.

Looks like any other crappy pub from the outside, however it is a hidden gem inside. A huge range of craft beer on tap that rotates regularly and plenty of seating. The tasting paddle is a great option.

P. C.

The selection of beers, music, service and menu are all top notch. Plenty of different seating options from intimate booths to large tables. Great pub.

T. G.

One of Newtown's best. I have spent many a birthday, welcome back/leaving do's here and just a good night out. They have a fine array of beers on tap from micro breweries plus the old favourites. The food here is also great and the cocktail happy hour is hard to go past. If you are heading out in Newtown for a night out a suggest here...but maybe make it your last port of call because you may not leave.

L. T.

Visited last night for Wednesday Trivia. Got a table book through FB messenger with the Union Hotel FB page - really fast replies and good service on this! My first time at a pub trivia night. Trivia took a little too long. Started about 7.30pm and ended at 10pm. Could speed up the process. Questions were hard and probably for a crowd in their 40s, 50s and up. Beer selection on tap is good! The philly cheese steak roll and vegan burgers could have a bit more sauce.

C. I.

This bar has a great selection of beers and beverages. The staff are courteous and the prices are reasonable given the drinks on offer and the location.

J. D.

Good cold beers. What more do you want? .

W. M.

Great beers, two pool tables, a cool eatery and live music. Don't miss it.

M. L.

Awesome range of beer, delicious food and great service!

A. D.

Amazing selection of rotating craft taps. The lamb roll is also amazing.

G. C.

The Lamb Roll was 80% fat. Otherwise good spot. The Band was average. Back area very comfortable. Big variety of beers on tap

L. P.

The Union Hotel has something for everyone. The spacoius front bar looks out onto the bustling King Street. It also hosts live music regularly. There's a good range of beers on tap but I particularly appreciate that they have retained the local favorite, Reschs, avoiding faux craft beers or flavourless imports. The front bar is also child free zone ... a refreshing change from many venues. The bistro out the back produces good quality food with a little twist like the Philly Cheese Steak with brisket or the Quirky Turkey sandwich.

R. T.

Great pub for drinking beer, drinking wine, drinking frangelico with a squeeze of lime and a dash of tabasco. They have live music too which is bloody tops. It's a shame they don't have more vegan stuff on the menu. I would have taken a star off but I didn't wanna be a prick.

D. S.

A large selection of craft beers on tap and a huge range from the onsite bottle shop. Plenty of depth on the menu for pub food.

a. t.

delicious chips and halumi, expensive craft beer though, great seating area outside

N. G.

Cool pub. Good range of beers and loads of seating out back. Kinda dingy in the main bar but intentionally so. Worth a look!

S. L.

Who knew there was a watermelon sour beer, union hotel definitely had the goods! Generally older crowd but the newly renovated area out back was a really nice place to chill. Shame the guy kicked us out at 11:30pm.

R. D.

Best craft beer menu in Sydney! With suitable comfort food in the relaxed open bistro in the back. Service is also second to none.

B. R. A.

Nice hotel with live music. One of the few remaining spots in Sydney where you can see bands playing. Has some nice street art both in the outside and inside walls.

C. T.

They have different craft beer on tap every week. Something that you don't usually see in other pub. Today I had a whiskey stout, yup, brewed with whiskey (bottled though). And a moka coffee gose (salty beer)

A. K.

This place is in a way the opposite of the Golden Barley: Great Beers (most of the time anyway), but the food has never been the same since it took on the Big Artie's name. It's just a bit on the stodgy side.

M. J.

Great area at the back for pub food. Meals were done well and is expected. To top it off, a wide selection of beer on tap.

C. R.

By far my favourite pub in Newtown. Great food, selection of drinks and live music. Spacious, clean and friendly staff. You never go wrong here.

C. T.

Not you're average pub food. I had the pie which was great. Good drinks as well. Shame the smokers get the nice outside section.

L. C.

This turned out to be a nice suprise, food was great. Had the pan fried Gnocchi and garlic bread. very delicious. Lots of beers on tap as well. Will definitely be going back here.

O. O.

Surprisingly good food here, a few interesting salad and a knockout vege gnocchi in addition to the fish n chips, burgers and streaks. For me, the atmosphere is a little 'rsl' to linger long after my meal, but that doesn't stop me turning up for a quick meal every once in a while.

D. O.

Decent beer. Good tap rotation.

R. T.

Food was far above any other pub quality food and topped off by friendly helpful service from all staff! Do yourself a favour and try the harvest salad, sweet potato chips and wagyu trip cut share plate (between 2 or 3 people)

C. H.

First time at Union Hotel, great service with very friendly staff, atmosphere with patrons was fantastic as well & a showcase of live local bands with amazing talent. A great night out.

Good place for a drink, typical pub vibes and prices in Newtown.
