It’s a gem along Illawarra Rd in Marrickville. Awesome selection of beer, wine and a little grocery of carefully selected cheeses including nibbles and sauces from around the world. The bottle shop has a top notch wine selection ready for takeaway. Food on offer is a mix of modern Australian and Asian fusion in a relaxed and modern space including a courtyard. The house bloody mary is a good starter drink to set the mood. I really like their Nasi Goreng, an Indonesian fried rice, very flavoursome.
This is seriously a little gem in the innerwest. Bridget and all the staff are wonderful. Nothing like going to one of your locals for s great feeed not expensive and happy faces behind the bar . What are you waiting for ?? Just do it !
Did I mention very family friendly and pet friendly !
Great food and good choice of beers. Craft beers including young Henry's pale ale, and a gorgeous fruity Balter XPA. Relaxed vibe, lots of families with kids having a good time here too. Friendly staff
Great outdoor area, especially if you love dogs! The chicken wings were the best wings I’ve ever had!! I also ordered the Mac and cheese which was great also. Definitely coming back again for those wings!
Great food, great atmosphere and great location. Family friendly, with kids play pen. Also serves delicious cocktails. A little bit of wait time for food, but was worth the wait.
The Henson does a really good green curry snapper with pumpkin, green beans and rice. Don't make the error of leaving the pumpkin (a big slice with the skin on). Scoop it out, it all goes together quite well. The curry has a real sambal tang, hot but not burning. It also looks great - winner. The pork belly tacos with red pickle, pineapple, cilantro and chipotle are also good. There are several burgers. We had the grass-fed beef burger with beet relish, old bay mayo and chips, which was fairly typical of any pub burger. The duck shepherds pie with roasted sprouts and bacon sounded great, but was a little disappointing. The roast sprouts were hard and not that tasty and the potato on top wasn't baked properly, just mushy. The pub is family friendly, staff helpful and efficient and there is a great ball pit to keep the kids amused. Overall, a good experience.
We to the henson, which is a pretty good pub. Old school / new school meet in the inner west. Combines the best of both worlds. They have some good beers on tap including balter (surfer mick fannings company) we shared some small bites and watched the footy. Croquettes we're off the richter good, as were the parmesan and truffle fries.
Came here recently with some friends. The place was packed so we were lucky to find a seat. We grabbed a couple of burgers and sides all of which came out piping hot and delicious. Service was friendly but they did take a while to come and clear our table. Really good vibes here on a Saturday afternoon.
Love all the food! Went there a while ago when they had the old menu but everything was amazing! Fresh oyster and amazing Bloody Mary shot, nice and crispy buttermilk chicken wings, healthier version of mac and cheese, and a yummy lobster roll (old menu) tried their ice tea as well and it was refreshing. Will have to come back soon for a long overdue visit!
I have been eating the mushroom tacos from this joint for a few years now and they are real tasty. My only gripe is that they give you a heap of filling that is on a bed of 2 soft tacos so you end up having to reconstruct your own 2 tacos and then get the proportions of the filling all wrong. They should fill each taco side by side before it's served. That being said though it is a dam good taco flavour wise. Pair it with some hot chips coated in their ace selection of salty seasonings and you've got yourself a delicious vegan meal for under 20 bucks.
Welcoming staff, family friendly service with a relaxed vibe. Great pub grub with delicious burgers and fresh chips. Met up with my friend who has a child and the staff were accommodating, making sure she didn't have to carry the baby chair by herself and cleaning each table between the guests leaving.
The cocktails are worth the money, Lemon drop is fantastic and light, not too sweet or sour. This place would suit small or large gatherings, it can get busy so get in early or book a table in advance so you dont miss out. Space inside and outside with covered/shady spots and dog friendly too! There is a parent room and kids play area outside, but due to covid these are currently unavailable - fair enough, we can wait till things settle down. Cheers to the team at Henson, we will be back!

Great atmosphere, kids and pet friendly, good food and lovely staff. We had a great time here.
Great pub. Good vibe, family friendly and expansive beer selection. Food is outstanding. Can’t rate the dirty bird meal high enough - gives many of the local charcoal chicken places a run for its money. The soft serve desserts are a sweet addition
Lovely traditional local pub, dating back to 1936. They have a mix of the charming old interior, as well as a modern dining area and beer garden.
The staff were particularly friendly and the music was great.
The selection of beers was certainly decent, though maybe not as extensive as you'd hope for in the Inner West.
Had a steak and chips (with house gravy) out in the back garden, absolutely superb! Staff at the bar were super helpful and friendly too!
The selection of beers on tap is better than most pubs. I had an excellent oatmeal stout. The staff were friendly and helpful. The "Knuckle Sandwich" was generous and delicious with a nice spicy heat. If you are not a local, parking can be an issue.
Great place with huge assortment of beers on tap and producing some mean burgers out of the kitchen
