Hotel Illawarra in Wollongong

Interesting bar that is set up purely for university nightlife

Dicey Riley’s in Wollongong

Advertising can be a misleading thing. I drove past once and saw a sign out the front promoting. Pirate Life IPA on tap. Perfect! Get in and the only craft option was Goose Island IPA. 15 taps of standard pub beer. A big Irish themed pub with sports bar, TAB, beer garden and pokies. It […]

Beaches Hotel in Thirroul

Good old social pub in the heart of the South Coast. Big beer garden out the front for social get together, decent bistro with all the pub classics and then some and over 25 taps of beer, craft beer, premix spirits and wine. Inside is the room to cater to live music on the weekends, […]

Menu looks like classic English fair with pies and sausages and modern Aussie pub classics. On my trip I had a […]

New Hampton Hotel in Kings Cross

No real craft option and closest being 150 Lashes or what I grabbed while there, Furphy Refreshing Ale. Standard pub menu, a TAB and […]

Kings Cross Hotel in Kings Cross

A massive 5 level establishment that sits on the corner has you enter the Cross. Down stairs has live music and major sporting events on the screens and nine taps of standard pub beers. (Carlton, Tooheys, Pure Blonde) Food is a small selection of standard pub food. Burgers, Steak, Schnitty and the like. On my […]

Cooper’s Hotel in Newtown

Long time local watering hole, Cooper’s is a good old fashion pub in the heart of Newtown. There’s a small beer garden, small TAB for betting on the ponies. TVs with sport. A small stare for a cover band on a Friday night and standard beer, cocktail, pub food range. 14 taps of mostly macro […]
