  • You’ll wish the second oldest pub in Balmain was your local after enjoying live music, shelves full of books and couches to relax in.

  • More a bar than a pub, with a feisty Italian crowd. In summer the doors fold back to make an outdoor party, and in winter gas heaters keep you snug.

  • Established in 1870, this might be the most atmospheric pub in Sydney. Grab a tractor seat on the balcony and sip the local Red Back beer while enjoying the Harbour Bridge view.

  • Martini

    Upstairs in the Palace Cinema complex, pop in to sip martinis and mull over the latest flick. Fun atmosphere and tasty food.

  • A traditional pub revamped with a restaurant and giant screens. The upper level has a clubby feel with DJs and pool tables.

  • This tiny local with much charm and fin-de-siècle interiors is hidden in a backstreet but is certainly worth seeking out.

  • An excellent local with entertainment most nights, including comedy on Mondays. The place really jams on Latino Sundays, when crowds pack in to hear the Latin bands.

  • A busy schedule sees comedy, trivia and movie nights at this stylish pub, as well as live music and DJs. It also offers an excellent and reasonably priced menu.

  • Something for everyone with great bar food, a giant screen, a groovy lounge area and a discrete gaming section. It’s the best place for a pick-me-up brunch.

  • Welcome Hotel

    The bistro at this Irish pub serves excellent food. Portions are very generous and European flavours are infused with an Irish influence.
