large modern restaurant on the back of the union, with its own bar and two beer gardens. stylish and spacious with comfortable chairs and an absentness of booming, irritating music. the menu is interesting, with some unusual burgers, fishtacos and a series of salads, as well as the usual steaks and carving. good selection of be on tap and friendly staff. the fishtacos were great with crumblebarramundi and the children's castles better than most pub childrenburgers. I ordered a pastrami reuben, which was good but not great, and pommes frites (they do French, curly or sweet kartoffel.) we also had a bump steak, with salat and chips also good. decent pub food option at the southern end of the k...
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.
Cracking place to meet up because it has ample space, a decent pool table, and I specifically enjoy the diverse range of beers on tap. The food covers all spectrums of taste. And on probably a moot point, they frustratingly, won't swap the fries out for anything else on the main meals. I have raised this with them without response. While not a deal breaker, I'd be interested to hear if someone can explain why this can't be done.
if they have children avoid this place. we have a policy that all children must sit, said the young ding from behind the doorstep. that is added to a No-Kind front bar area. I have a policy that I do not go to pubs with ridiculous families unfriendly staff and politics. there are so many good pubs in the opposite, my advice for families is one of them trying unless they want to regulate and maintain. we will not be back. always.

Love the renovated section out the back! We managed to get a booth which was cozy and almost like your own private dining area. The burgers here are fantastic, great flavor in the patty. Chips were cooked perfectly. I like the fact they have a sauce and flavored salt bar. Waitress for the bistro is always friendly and helpful. This place will become a regular for me
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.
A few weeks ago I picked up Good Living and read it for the first time in nearly a year. At my old work, I used to routinely read it since they got hard copies of the Sydney Morning Herald delivered each day and one of the secretary's kindly passed it on
Go for the Music and the Atmosphere Skip the Food. Has to have the the dubious honour of being arguably the most overpriced pub food in the inner west give the food a miss and enjoy drinks and tunes.
