We attended the Balmain Hotel on the weekend and had another terrific experience down there. The food is always good, the atmosphere is fun and the staff are very pleasant and accommodating. It was the right vibe for our catchup and I would recommend to all my friends should they look for a fun bar with a great vibe to head down.

This was a company event. Overall staff was very kind. Service was super quick. It is broken up in sections, which makes it seem small and large at the same time. Food had been good and they seem to have a nice selection too. We arrived by bus, but i think parking maybe a little thought in hat area.

Don't be fooled by the pictures. Just how we were fooled by the sweet smell of the smoker by the fence. Smell too good to not go in and get some smoked meats. 2 small plates of cold dry meat and a beer $75 later we three it all out. Only good thing was the guy playing the guitar in the courtyard

Great atmosphere, very friendly bar nd kitchen staff, and delicious menu range. Best of all is that dogs are welcome, even in the indoor dining area! What a brilliant move by the owner to let our furry loved ones come inside. We will definitely visit again with our Cavoodle and Staffy!

  • Bryan Chapman

The front bar if the Balmain is a fair dinkum front bar. Tiles on the wall, friendly and efficient staff, cold beer, good atmosphere. The food is fine, and the beer garden is a great place to sit on a sunny day and drink the day away. No hesitation in giving 5 stars.

  • Nina Gao

The fried chicken there is so amazing. Such a good menu! You can get 1kg of all the flavours for $30! Such a hit! They do gender bender bingo on Wednesday nights too which is so fun! Great outdoor beer garden too. Really good local, would recommend to everyone.

  • Cara O'Connor

Headed here for an Thursday afternoon dinner to take advantage of the two for one pizza night. A fair variety of pizzas of decent size were available. Had a quick game of pool with my brother before heading off. Was there at around 7:00 and it was pretty empty

  • Maria Sarac

The burger was ok, the salt and pepper squid smelled a little iffy, the fish and chips was ok. The chilli crab pasta… seriously didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was inedible!!! $130 down the drain, with the mostly uneaten meal. Will not be back… EVER!

  • J Lewis

Just wanted to thank you guys for everything on Saturday. Such a fantastic venue, so accommodating and professional. I have held events at several venues and have by far had the best experience at The Balmain. Everyone was wrapped. Was able

  • Peter Govan

What a great pub on the Balmain Peninsula, it still has that friendly locals feel! It has a great beer garden with live music on weekends. Staff are very friendly and they have a great menu with pub classics to modern Asian. The pub is dog

  • Chris Matos

Food was overpriced and stodgy...the majority of the staff were reasonably friendly with the exception of one guy who was completely out of control when it came to managing the COVID Safe rules...ejected a guy for standing up to go to the

  • Ivan Olea

We had the most tasteless Poke bowl we have ever tasted. The pickled veggies were either pickled in water! (Or left in water?) or washed and had all its flavour stripped, zero seasoning and incredibly tasteless. Sent back for a second try

I had a birthday party at the Tiki area of the hotel which made my afternoon very nice and special. All my guests mentioned I’ve chosen a nice and kids friendly spot. Even though catering and service wasn’t the way I expected on the day,

  • P Holz Accounts

Such a lovely local pub! We like the staff and vibe there - feel like it’s a friendly and accommodating place. My only suggestion is that whilst COVID is ongoing, please make sure you regularly wipe down the baby change table as that was

Always really liked this pub, staff are good and great selection of beer however unfortunately we had a less then impressive experience on the weekend. The food was unbelievably disappointing. The chicken wings were coated in a strange,

We were in a large group here on a Friday night enjoying a friend's birthday and what a nice surprise it was. A great range of craft beers, wine and cocktails were on offer. In the food department we enjoyed the classic buffalo chicken

  • Damian Norton

Great local with a good range of regular and craft beers, wines and spirits. The tiki cabana was a great spot for our private party and the food was fantastic - the grazing board kept us going for hours and the bakers platter, with a

  • Sandy&Phil Renwick

Great pub, good range of regular and craft beers, friendly staff and management, greatly improved menu and food options, great beer garden that captures the sun and live music. Don’t forget the free sausage sizzle Fridays

  • Nick Ivers

Good little pub tucked away at the bottom of Balmain. Nice cocktails. The food was pretty decent. The outdoor area is perfect for those warmer sunny days! Super dog friendly, they even have meals you can buy for your dog!

  • Michael Bragg

We had a 40th birthday here on Saturday for lunch. We had such a great time. The food was amazing - massive compliments to the chef! Chilled vibes, great staff, will definitely have more events here.

  • Ruthie Britton

One of my favourite pubs in Sydney. Great vibe- lovely staff- amazing food! Must try the chicken wing platter- its mouth wateringly good. And it’s really well priced- some good cheap eats.

  • Gabriela Lira

Terrible customer service. Limited options on the menu. They took so long to prepare our food and refused to send an extra salad even though I offered to pay it as extra. Rude staff. More

  • Kirsten Williamson

Had a pleasant lunch at the Balmain hotel last weekend. The food was tasty and staff friendly. I was very happy that they allowed our dog to sit inside as the weather was not the best ☺️

  • Payam Forghani

The outdoors is quite nice but inside feels a bit old and rundown. We liked the food and there is a good variety of beers on tap, the only thing it lacks is some good vibes

  • Ceridwen Thomas

We held our baby shower here and it was great! Remy the functions manager was friendly and easy to deal with to organise everything and the food was sensational!
