"A great pub, restaurant and garden area (probably best in the area), and a pretty great chicken parmy"
Overall a good meal, but far from perfect. The Golden Barley, a classic Art Deco pub on Edgware Road, has an airy, contemporary restaurant out back and a decent menu with a few surprises in it. Notably it doesn't serve sausages and mash - they've bypassed the classic opt-out dish for the unadventurous to make people try new things. They have a smoker they use for occasional specials (swordfish when we were there) and some good variations on standard pub fare, like the jerk chicken burger (although why serve it with mayonnaise?). A group of us ate there at the weekend, on a particularly busy day where the staff in the kitchen were being pushed to the limit. Service wasn't as smooth as usual,...
I dined here for dinner before a trivia night, it was a Tuesday. We arrived early (6pm) so we could have dinner prior to trivia starting. We were the only people in the whole pub apart from two people in the main bar. We ordered and sat in the dining room, the food is pretty much classic pub style, but they do have a large kids menu and a lot of vegetarian vegan options. I ordered a steak, it was cooked perfectly medium-rare the pepper sauce was so good. The bar staff were staff were super friendly there is a great selection of local beers wine.
The Golden Barley is a nice little pub Ive stumbled across when WJ was a little too full. They have a great outdoor patio area adjacent to the bistro you can ease into for a few hours with friends. A great hideaway when needing to escape King St. Price point is a little disappointing in the bistro as the food is just ok, with average size serves. Otherwise a good spot for a refreshment.

Excellent place to have a nice meal. The food was delicious my fish and chips was crispy and tasty. My partner had the grilled barramundi and he loved it. The serve is large and the prices are reasonable not cheap but the quality is excellent. Staff are very nice and very friendly. The atmosphere was great, nice music in the background and the garden looks beautiful especially the frangipani. Definitely we are coming here again and again.

Great place. Haven't been out for 3 years to a pub. Nice beer garden. Had to book ahead for a table on Saturday evening. Wet night and staff are very accommodating to assist us. Menu for food is regular pub food done well with a few more unusual options. Dogs we're allowed in the garden area and kids are permitted in the dining area. Reasonable selection of beers supporting some of the local small breweries.
So I 'm back in Sydney for a few days and I had take take my family and friends to 'The Barley ' I wish we had something that even came close to this in Adelaide. This place truly shows the value of a short menu, quality produce and great service. Food prepared in house with little or no prepared buy ins. The atmosphere here is great and it matches the incredible food. Huge selection of beers on tap too
First time visit, which is criminal! This is a beautiful pub with a fabulously diverse range of draught beers (goldie oldies plus craft selections), a gorgeous beer garden and delightful staff. I can't wait to return to try the food; from what I saw as plates passed me, it looked fab.
Good inner city Sydney pub. Friendly staff and also a dog friendly beer garden. Make sure you enunciate clearly when ordering at the bistro as they can be a little hard of hearing and it's kind of awkward when one of your party misses out on a meal.

Nice vibes with a nice outdoor seating area. There are large tables suitable for bigger groups, and also suitable for families with children. Well lit environment with natural lighting. Order food at the counter.
