This place is Great, It is actually my Local. Ive had many things on the Menu From the Pork Abomination to the Ribs.
Pork Abomination - Chips with Slow Cooked Pork, bbq sauce, sour cream & onion. This dish is def not the most healthy but it is one of the tastiest on the menu. It is huge size wise as i can never finish it and the toppings of sauce, cream, onion and pork are VERY generous.Pulled Beef Nachos - Pulled Beef, Sour Cream, Cheese, Tomato Salsa & Guac. Another large dish which was pretty reasonable in price too but i wouldn't say it lives up to some of the others on the menu. I probably wont order this one again but it wasn't bad taste wise.
Tacos - Chicken & Beef Soft shell tacos. Available at 2 for $10 or 3 for $15 there are five types of tacos to choose from. Tuna, Barramundi, Chicken, Beef & Veg. I have only had the Chicken and beef tacos and they were great flavour wise. Not the best tacos i've ever had but still pretty tasty!
Rump Steak - 250g Rump steak. The meal was pretty good and comes with an option of one five sides(i opted for chips) The chips and Rump were both very well cooked(medium rare)and it was one of the better steaks i've had recently. Good serving size
Ribs - Two choice of ribs avail but i opted for the Twice Cooked Old School Sticky Ribs. Amazing Marinade and lives up to its name. I opted for a half size and with the accompanying sides of chips and colesaw it was incredibly filling. All were made well and the ribs almost fell off the bone. Standard pricing for a pub and lots of seating inside. It is a very busy pub though so if you want a outside table(dog friendly) id arrive relatively early. You can also reserve tables for big events and order food platters but thats a different story
Def worth a visit
This place is such a gem. I love the decor and setting in every room. Definitely insta worthy. The bread was warm. My favourite. But not sure if it’s because it was part of an event catering.
Chicken breast is very good . A good place to eat and it feels comfortable here . Service is very nice and environment is also very friendly.
The food was absolutely incredible. Cooked fast and perfectly. The place was packed out so definitely try booking a week before but omg so worth sitting outside in the freezing cold. Can't fault it.
A swish renovation has seen the Rose emerge as an exciting new function venue. Admittedly, it had been years since I'd stepped through the doors of this Erskineville institution but despite it looking all shiny and new, there's the same easygoing vibe. A great spot to meet for drinks.

Attending the "Hello Howard" launch for Howard's Cantina & Cocktail Bar at the Rose of Australia in Erskineville was truly an amazingly visual an appetising experience. Rose of Australia is a beautiful pub with so much to see. As you enter, you see the lovely bar, stools covered in black and white "cow hide", giant corks for tables and comfy lounges to sit back in and absorb this ever so picturesque establishment.
The Rose of Australia has been the social hub of Erskineville for decades; its art deco heritage is infused with contemporary charm bringing a new feel to the classic. Under the ownership of the Leach Family, the pub is re-launching its top floor into Howard’s Cantina and Cocktail Bar in commemoration of the late Howard Leach who bought the landmark hotel 21 years ago and was a stalwart of the local community.

The Rose is a neat little pub perched on Swanson street only a short distance from the station, flaunting some modern character. It hosts more than several little corners and divisions throughout the building, from low-level lounge areas, bright & formal dining spots, tall tables, to street seating if that's your thing. What I most love is that it sports a pretty good range on the menu and they offer up really good value in this respect.
Whilst the place is pretty shiny, there's a fairly easygoing vibe between revelers and staff. That said, there is one barman here who's penchant for talking in riddles gets in the way of making an order for wine.
The champagne poached lobster roll ($14) is fluffy and light and the accompaniments are nurturing to the lobster. The candied bacon barely overpowers it let alone stands out. Order your choice of side salad in this one. The chicken wings ($12) are crispy but a little bit oily. The serving is generous and is topped with a lightly pickled & crisp cabbage to cut through.
You can mix and match the tacos ($10/$14). The lime chicken with spinach and chipotle aioli is mild and simple. The cauliflower is most substantial in terms of flavour and its quite the hearty little tortilla, now my favourite. The chicken schnitzel ($19) is thick and tender, and pretty uncommon in terms of pub schnitty. Served with the usual suspects as one would expect.
Howard’s Cantina and Cocktail Bar is located above the Rose of Australia Hotel. Historically, this iconic venue in Erskenville has been there almost as long as the town itself – 1874! Since then it has been a popular venue amongst Sydneysiders to visit for a drink or bite to eat. It has undergone a number of renovations including the newest venture – Howard’s Cantina and Cocktail Bar. The Cantina itself is in keeping with the eclectic style of the area. The new cocktail drink menu has launched and the Cantina opens from Thursday May 11.
Again, another one listed as Newtown when it is literally 50m from Erskineville Station? Great drinks venue with different versatile spaces both indoors and out for any kind of meet or night out. All the usual gaming and sports screening and as a member you are priivy to special promotions, events and discounts. My local!!! Xxx
Exceptional staff, friendly vibe, great food, awesome drinks menu. Table service and recommendations are an unexpected and pleasant addition.
One of the best gastro-pubs in the inner city and inner west of Sydney offering and delivering an impressive array of modern Aus/American food fare.
The Midnight Cuban sandwich is a game changer, possibly the best in town. Onion rings are mouth watering, ribs are perfectly prepared and glazed, burgers are generous and well designed.
This pub is great. Good choice of wines and consistently good food. Burgers are juicy to the point of being messy, steaks cooked exactly how you ask, tacos are cheap cheerful and tasty at $9 for 2 and you can't go past the Cuban sandwich. The best. I hope they never take this off the menu. Minus one point for these guys only because of their beers. Carlton, blonde. No thanks. Give me a James Squire, Boags or Superdry any day.
Believe it or not, this place has a 300 gram t-bone steak on the menu every day. Most pubs don't have a steak deal this good on their special deal days. The steak comes with an amazing choice of sides and sauces, and was fantastic. The service is also excellent and it is a cool pub, too. If I lived closer to it, it could become my local. I'll be going back !!!
Perhaps Sydney's best pub $10 T-bone with beer fries. Add some beans and you've got a great meal. Ribs vary from excellent to terrible depending on the day....sometimes they're lacking much meat. Service upstairs in restaurant is better. Downstairs its bar service. Sunday and Monday upstairs restaurant closed but downstairs serves food. Book on Friday and Saturday.
The staff are super friendly and the food is excellent, though i miss the pizzas and the lamb rump that used to be on the menu. Lots of nooks and crannies to hang out in, depending on your mood. My partner and I always share the full rack of sticky ribs, they are way better than the usual rib places and great value. Good food specials too, always worth checkin out.
Something has changed and not just the outdoor furniture! Best customer service ever !!! Lovely afternoon drink with my friend. Warm heaters. thanks and love the changes!!!! X
Lucky locals to have this place nearby. I honestly don't understand the negative reviews on this place. My sister works right nearby so we come here often and with pleasure. The food is excellent and comes in large portions, the drinks are varied but cheap, the pub looks great with a welcoming ambience and the staff are as friendly as they come.
This is a local business you feel good supporting. Give it a chance.
The atmosphere is pretty awesome since the renos, awesome vibe inside and out. The food is well prices for pub food and the $10 t-bone is worth a mention. It's a pub, yet service is sometimes offered and meals are brought out to you. $10 jugs of the month all day every day! read a lot of bad on here, however I'm confused as to what the fuss is, it's a pub and it offers what a pub is surposed to offer...
Great atmosphere. I love having a drink at the Rose. The staff are fantastic. There's a new menu so don't take notice of the old reviews on this site. I had a fantastic burger there. It's pub food, but good quality and good value.
Great monster meat challenge, highly recommend it for $33
House of Palms hosted a flower crown workshop at the Rose of Australia for a hen's party of 14 people and it was fabulous. The staff were accommodating, the atmosphere was great and the decor was cool. The function was upstairs at the front of the venue and it was the perfect space. Would highly recommend this venue for a function
Tacos are the best in the business. Kitchen is amazing, what an iconic spot to come have dinner with a gorgeous menu and cocktails to back it up. Big shout out to the kitchen and bar staff.
The lobster tacos was the stand out dish for me. Great drinks and lively ambience. Excellent customer service. The waitress was really nice and was helping us find seats as the venue was quite packed. It’s quite nice to sit upstairs.
Awesome service.... better than many restaurants. Great selection of alcohol on tap, cocktails and nice food.
Great ambience.
Nathan is a bloody legend. Meals are always delicious. One of the best pubs in Sydney
