Sit in the beer garden and enjoy some laughs with your best friends over a couple pints of Guinness. When the live band comes on, get ready for your perfect day to transform into the perfect night. Don’t forget to rinse your footy winnings on a couple of jugs of pimms for the lads. The best pub in Sydney man. 5 stars

Vibrant, historic and friendly venue. Awsesome Sunday roasts, wide selection of beer and wine. Dog friendly. Fantastic staff.

Great vibe, lovely historical pub with nice alfresco and indoor dining spaces. Great service too.

I met up with a few friends for a meal and a few drinks, the staff were really nice and the food was excellent. Added bonus is you can take your dog into the beer garden 👌

Lovely pub. ...kind of funky. Excellent staff. Great food. Everyone in our group of 10 enjoyed their meal. The curry chips are a must have. Will be back.

The food here has improved so much - really nice veggies. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Update: Compliments to the chef, going from strength to strength in today's outstanding duck with sweet potato rosti, beautifully complemented with a lovely mulled wine, perfect for a drizzly day in the snug dining room.

Great atmosphere and food was pretty decent. But do not recommend the gluten free pizza - the base was super soggy like it was sat in a puddle of water, was disgusting and didn’t end up eating it. However in saying that the cheese and toppings were good so we picked it off and had it with some fries which was delicious! The rest of the meals were all super tasty.

I dined there with a friend last night and the food was disappointing we had the duck which was dry and the seafood pasta which was not a pleasant tasting sauce it had too much chilli - it was inedible. We informed the waitress and she was rude and ignored us she just took the plate away. The musicians who performed were awesome and the pub atmosphere was good.

"Proper Fish and chips" The "fish" is unidentified.. but was basically a thin, grey species with wafer thin batter. The chips were crunchy french fries and the only connection to being "proper" was a thimble of malt vinegar in a vague nod to British fish n chips Not great... Over priced and poor quality. It looked like all ingredient were frozen and bought from Coles...I think they could try a lot harder. The beer was good and they had sport on screen.. they get a star 🌟.

One of our regular places to eat in. Good atmosphere with friendly staff and great food. They had a grilled salmon a while back which was amazing. Hope it comes back on soon. They have a good kid friendly menu. Parking isn’t too bad. We usually get a spot on the side street. Also has a big screen for game days. You can book for large groups online.

Best pub in Balmain, and would go so far as to say the best I’ve been to in Sydney. Very cool old pub. Pricing is pretty normal, happy hour till 6pm weekdays is great. Have eaten here a couple times too and was all great. Indoor and outdoor area, and really good atmosphere. When it’s busy it’s a bit cramped as inside it’s not huge but I don’t mind that. If I’m doubt lots of room out the front or outside on the side. Will be back!

Always my favourite place to go for a Sunday roast. All three trimmings in a cosy atmosphere. Family and dog friendly, this local hub has history bursting from it. Classic balmain pub.

I cannot say thank you enough to Jessica and her team. They did an amazing job at an event I hosted, and were so kind and friendly the whole time. Their attention, especially Jessica’s, to detail is superb. The place is beautiful, the food is delicious and timely, and the bar is amazing. Every part was perfect (perfect enough to leave my first ever review). If you’re looking to host a party, don’t hesitate to do it at the Bald Rock Hotel.

Been here many times as a local but I have to mention Jessica, who went above and beyond to get a table on New Year’s Eve for my mother and I, simply because she wanted to make it possible for my mum. Good karma for this lovely staff member, that’s a given..
