The Marrickville Hotel

Bar

👍 Good vibe. Only downside is the tap beers. When I visited there was only one independent brewery on tap, the rest were all huge drinks companies. which is a shame because the Inner West produces a lot of outstanding beers by independent breweries. People often mention staff, Great, good, drinks, great, friendly, Marrickville, beer, Good, vibe,

    Great vibe and great staff, if you want some chill dri ks in Marrickville, look no further. Best of all the whole venue is dog friendly. Bring your puppy and enjoy meeting people across the bar! Food can be ordered at the bar and provided by Pho Phd down the street or delicious toasties. Good range of spirits and wines to choose from and a few beers on tap or in tinnies

    Fantasic trip down memory lane where bartenders have mullets and mos and the decor has a vintage vibe! Doggos and kids allowed. Fab beer garden, eclectic clientele. Love this place!!!!

    Great little bar. Really cool venue. Drinks a good, nice range of beers and good cocktails. Food is simple but tasty. Definitely a great place to catch up for a few drinks.

    This place is soul-less with decor done by 70's grandma (which at least gives you something to look at if your companion/phone isn't doing it for you). The music is pretty good, the drinks are Very expensive and the service is REALLY bad. That said I only stayed for 1 drink (and won't be back) and there were 3 people behind the bar so you have an almost 67% chance that service will be better! ?

    Love this place, both Bertie and Caitlin appreciate the friendly staff and quality choice of refreshing beverages. I repeatedly find myself gravitating towards the doors when I get off the bus, and the stop is right outside the door. Toasties are yummo, but you can order from PHD for a Vietnamese fix if that's your thing. Always interesting choices of music playing, be good to see maybe a DJ doing his/her thing on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon but that's a me thing and no way a criticism :)

    Great place, good drinks, fast service. When you first walk inside your greeted by a cozy wooden bar with great beer, wine and cocktails to offer. Then when you walk to the back, it opens up with fairy lights, greenery and long tables. The vibes here are amazing, they've done an amazing job with the space offering alot of places to sit and chat. Would come here again.

    This is one of the most lively pubs around Marrickville, especially on a weeknight. Different promos available throughout the week, plenty of spots available inside and all the staff is really friendly. Reasonable prices for beer on tap too. At the time of my visit they didn't have their own menu, but they've teamed up with Pho PHD next door to have some of their offering on site

    Unfortunately the staff had this sniffy ‘holier than thou’ attitude. Really quite unfriendly. It all seemed like a bit of a preen-scene catering to the people who worked there as opposed to providing customers with baseline friendly service. Shame. Better experiences to be had at other venues in our fair city. Nice stuff in the walls.

  • 4/5 David B. 4 years ago on Google
    A great old pub recreated in what used to be a shop...

  • 5/5 AJ C. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect place for a night out and chill with friends. 🍻

  • 5/5 Beavdog 8. 5 years ago on Google
    The Marrickville hotel is hotspot in the area. Tonnes of space inside, great beers on tap, a good ramge of spirits and bar food at the ready, this place is set for fun. There is tonnes of space in the venue, including a retractable skylight in the rear beer garden. So far, the Marrickville Hotel is atotal win for pubs in the area. A solid choice if you're after a night out in the neighbourhood.

    Five stars every day. Good drinks. Nice people. Cool interior. Bring new people to so you can show then you know cool places. I always have a good time here.

  • 2/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great ratings and we had high expectations for the food here, unfortunately the food was very average, we tried fish cakes and two dishes, they both tasted the same. Beer and atmosphere good but don’t eat here.

  • 5/5 Nicholas H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really fun, funky place for a drink with friends. Great vibe. Eclectic decor and really nice staff.

  • 5/5 Shasta M. 4 years ago on Google
    Charming place. Was there on a quiet Sunday afternoon that turned very busy by 5pm. Dogs running around the place. Toasted sandwiches and crisps being handed over the counter every 5mins. $10 bloody mary's. Staff were lovely. Brilliant!

  • 3/5 Troy K. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent enough small bar, though I was disappointed with the food. The $10 "cheese plate" was actually just a single piece of cheese with three crackers.

    Favourite bar in the area. Staff are always lovely, drinks delicious and perfect place to settle in for the evening. Only small recommendation is for a few more food offerings. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Emma K. 1 year ago on Google
    Dave is so personable and friendly! Knows all the best drinks and great at recommending drinks tailored to your taste. Not afraid to let his hair down and boogie with patrons. Highly recommend the Marrickville Hotel!

  • 5/5 Antonio B. 1 year ago on Google
    Want beer? A nice atmosphere? Good vibe! Then come to this place.

  • 1/5 TheDavidlyster 1 year ago on Google
    Very rude staff, they clearly didn't want to be there. Over-priced food and drinks. There are many nice venues in the area but this isn't one of them. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place 👎

  • 5/5 Watson P. 1 year ago on Google
    A very great place to be, especially if you're walking home ;)

  • 5/5 Dumme K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hotel. Nice decor and great staff. The food is pretty good too. A memorable visit for this out of towner. The barman treated us to a story about the laboratory in Berghain in Germany so we've added that to our trip next year along with a funnel and some hose.

  • 5/5 Fa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good choice of beer on tap, cocktails looked great. Decorations are well though out and create a great atmosphere plus the food was delicious.

  • 4/5 Stephen P. 9 months ago on Google
    Many spirits, less wines and less beers on tap to choose from. Interesting decor consisting of a variety of photography subjects and lighting.

  • 5/5 Flo S. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect balance of fancy and chilled, somewhere in between a bar and a pub feel. Absolutely amazing decor - always something exciting to look at, brilliant music all the time, tasty drinks and awesome specials Sunday to Wednesday. Bloody Marys are to die for. And beautiful, helpful, super friendly staff. Definitely my favourite place in Marrickville and one of my top watering holes in Sydney. Clearly, so much love and soul went into making this place feel really special, whilst keeping it really homey and welcoming at the same time!

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hotel with good vibe. Order a. Toastie or som Vietnamese to share while having a drink.

  • 4/5 Kevin S. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellently kept beer here - super fresh (Omen on tap too)

  • 5/5 Zenon 7 months ago on Google
    Dropped in for a quick one only to emerge many hours later after a few more quickies... It's that sort of place... An easy establishment to while away an afternoon.

  • 5/5 Chris E. 8 months ago on Google
    Looking for a place to go on a date, or hang with a bunch of mates? Marrickville Hotel got you covered. Great atmosphere, good cocktails (pina colada and whiskey sour my personal favourites). A locals favourite for any time of day, but weekends are especially fun. If you’re in the area, be sure to pop in

  • 5/5 M. A. 5 months ago on Google
    Love this place. Every thing you could wish for in a local. Phd Vietnamese to order at your table? You got it!

    A warm Christmas feeling. Very pleasant.

  • 5/5 Jarred S. 3 years ago on Google
    My favourite venue in the Inner West. The bar staff are super friendly and are always keen for a chat. They make a tasty cocktail and serve the coldest and freshest Resches in town! If you haven't had a drink here yet, what are you even doing!?!? ?

  • 5/5 Geraldine B. 3 years ago on Google
    Best best best

  • 4/5 Nga-Lai Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Not too shabby to pop in for a quick drink, very noisy on a busy nite, quick bar service. Toilets are upstairs but not sure how disabled person is supposed to get up there tho..?

  • 5/5 Reuben S. 4 years ago on Google
    Well isn’t this a gem. Fav pub in Sydney already. Cheeky schooeys and toasties

  • 5/5 Vesa 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little bar with a good selection of cocktails and very friendly, accommodating staff. Pub is also dog friendly which is great.

  • 5/5 Rohan N. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place. Lots of good drink choices, lots of seats, and has a nice vibe. Good for some catch up drinks with friends

  • 5/5 Joseph 4 years ago on Google
    Really good wine selection, and generally a couple of local craft beers on tap. Great atmosphere and a cosy setting.

  • 5/5 Brittany L. 4 years ago on Google
    Cozy and intimate vibe with a nice selection of drinks and friendly staff. The Vietnamese food was a bit unexpected in the setting and the menu wasn't hugely expansive. I feel like there are probably better places nearby for dinner. But to hang out and have a drink, it was a really lovely plaxe. Will be back for sure ?

  • 5/5 alan f. 4 years ago on Google

    Good drinks, great service, just a solid place to have a drink and a few laughs. A much needed addition to the growing night life in Marrickville. Bonus points for being dog-friendly

  • 5/5 Jennifer W. 4 years ago on Google
    Sort of a cross between a pub and a wine bar. Maybe more wine bar. Friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Kristen M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great relaxed atmosphere and the best Bloody Mary's ever!
