Friendly staff, fast service- can’t go wrong! Low lit intimate casual setting and atmosphere. A variety of cider and beers on tap, with wine options available too. Definitely a good place to go and chill for hours if you’re into that. Highly recommend 💓
Had the Aussie burger that had a beef patty, lettuce, cheese, beetroot and aioli? There’s a limited burger range of Halloumi, Chicken and the Aussie which I think good because I’m indecisive.
The burger was quite big as you can see in the photo. The bun was crispy and the beef patty was so juicy, omg it was all just amazing. Fries were the perfectly cooked, super crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside.
Well I came for the beer but I have to say would definitely come back for the Nachos.
When I was trying to work out what to order I just looked around and saw what other people were eating - 1 in 2 had the nachos - I just assumed it was the thing to do here. Thankfully I was right.
It looks a mess, but it was fantastic.
Sometimes you just want to go to a pub that still feels like a pub and 'the courty' delivers that feel in abundance, plus more.
Divided into four main sections, there's something for everyone and anyone. The beer garden is big and open with big tables, perfect for big groups, the smoking area is actually big enough to fit the number of people you'd expect to be smoking in a pub, the dining area and balcony are warm and cozy in winter and open airy in summer and he bar area is always buzzing.
One of the best things about the courty is the menu. It's classic pub meals like nachos, burgers, Parma and wedges and they're all good too.
For the full experience, get here early and have an early dinner in the beer garden then head inside and try and get a table near the TVs and watch the Swans beat whoever it is that they're playing. The atmosphere during a game is incredible.
The only, and I mean only reason I am not giving a full 5 stars here is because sometimes I can't find a seat and I get grumpy.
Other than that, if you are looking for a great atmosphere to take a friend, first date, mother-in-law, or your puppy for a drink, HERE YOU GO.
The Courthouse has a relaxing vibe anyone can get into. Either sit in the pub and soak up the many TVs playing the footy, or step into the outdoor beer garden that in my opinion should be #1 in Sydney.
We always end up here either on a weekend with friends, or after a long day in the office. Nothing beats a beer garden that allows you to bring your dog.
Being someone who doesn't have a dog, I enjoy this because I get to see everyone's pups whilst enjoying my favorite beer.
We have yet to try the food as it looks a wee bit expensive. But, the Courty is our #1 go to bar any day of the week.
Popular pub spot in Newtown the Courthouse Hotel is a great place for an afternoon beer. There are plenty of craft beers to choose from but I always go with the local. If it's a nice day grab a seat outside and soak in the atmosphere. The menu has all the pub food options you would expect. If you have coins with you head inside and play some of the retro games including a pinball machine!
This place has a great vibe if you want to pop out for a beer or bite to eat. Cajun chicken with side of chips went down nicely, chicken wasnt too dry.
This is one of those pubs that has not changed a bit in the last 7 years. It's ye old faithful and reliable. It hasn't upped the prices, swapped out of the beverages for the latest fad or even updated the decor (😜)! You certainly won't be finding any kale on this pub grub menu either. What you will find is classic nachos big enough for 4 along with schnitzels, steaks and all the pub staples. It's not the most amazing food but it's certainly the best after a jug of Carlton!
The beer garden is hands down one of our favourite places to enjoy a Sunday bevvie in the sun. Get on it! 🍻🍻🍻
Love this place. It's a character of Newtown that everyone should try. Get there for a nice weekday meal and a pretty busy weekend. It's pretty roomy with a nice courtyard and inside sitting area. Really cool artwork or paintings on the wall with a pinball machine in the room
Good place at Newtown. A bit hidden and never too crowded when am here. Nice for a couple of drinks and some food. Had the wedges here and the Courty burger. Not too bad. Ambience is awesome especially on a sunny day.
If you’re from the inner-west, enjoy beer, pinball or look like a member of Kings of Leon, you will fit right in here. Home to a huge beer garden, a front bar, rooms filled with vintage furniture (one entirely dedicated to pinball) and some great pub grub! The steaks are great quality for the price, $16 will get you a big bit of beef, chips, perfectly steamed dreams and mushroom sauce. Other items include the stock standard burgers, nachos and chicken parmy, all can be enjoyed while playing bingo, watching crab races or connect four on different nights of the week.
Not favourite bar for drinks in Newtown but it's my favourite place for Nachos! Definitely they're to share, portion is huge and lots of spicy flavour!! My favourite Nachos in Sydney!!
I've eaten here many times. Didn't really rate it at first until I had the burger - very good - way better than Mary's.

Good meal-sized salads at the bistro!. I was frustrated for so long in my search for healthy lunch options in Enmore/Newtown
"I just want a big salad!!!"
... and VOILA! Now the Courthouse Hotel Bistro has some fabulously good big bowls of salad on the menu. The baby spinach, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado and quinoa is my fave. Closely followed by the corn, lentil and halloumi salad. Just like I'd make my own lunch to take to work, if I could be bothered to prepare it every morning.
My only gripe lately was with the American waitress at the bistro demanding attention to her tip jar with a written note about her sob story of medical and student debts from back home in the mean old USA, begging for our tips to help her pay it off. Listen up lady - We don't accept being hassled to tip in this country. We pay a living wage instead. You are lucky to be here, you are lucky to have a job that an Australian person is missing out on. So please keep your crappy country's issues out of our faces and don't guilt us into tipping you when we're just trying to order our lunch. It's not cool.
Great pub. This is a really cool spot for a few drinks. They have multiple lounge rooms and a big beer garden. The food was a bit average but it's really more about the atmosphere. Last time we tried to go here we got stopped at the door by the bouncer, who appeared to be so baked that he couldn't understand what we wanted. So we went somewhere else instead which was a bit of a shame.
Agreed. Julias comment below is spot on, the courtyard has a great atmosphere. Its abundance of gas heaters makes it pleasant to sit outside and smoke with your beer even in winter. Food a little on the pricey side however.
We eat at the Courthouse for lunch at least once a week. It's pretty cruisy. They do $10 lunch specials Mon-Fri which always include a rump steak and usually a pizza, plus usually two or so other choices which vary. The rump is always cooked perfectly and served with a good edible salad and chips. You couldn't make it at home for $10. The pizza specials are really good. I like the thin crust and they are just the right size for one. Sometimes we do the $15 beef nachos which is enough for two and a tasty favourite with all the right ingredients - guacamole, sour cream, salsa and jalapeños. I like this place for a cheap lunch and a few beers, and we keep going back.
Freat food...Service so so. Great food, have eaten here a few times and the food is always good and the menu has enough pub fare to satisfy even the pickiest of dinners. Service at the bar is lacking as they seem to favour locals over everyone else so you may be waiting a while for the locals to get their drinks filled before you get served.
Great atmosphere. The best times at the Courthouse are sunny weekends at lunchtime in the beer garden- just try and find a seat!
Get a the nachos- huge for 2 people, but all the food is good.
Pub Food. Good solid pub food. If people are wanting to come here for a dish to rival Machiavelli Ristorante in the CBD, then you are kidding yourself. Come here for a great tasty meal while you reserve your seats in the Beer Garden for your friends that work. This place has a great atmosphere and the bar staff are foxy.
I had the best lamb shanks here about a year ago. Please bring them back!
A decent pub with a great history. Cold beer on tap, atmosphere, best beer garden in newtown, space invaders, jukebox with your good music so much so that you don't have to be shitfaced to give money too, chunky crispy wedges and crabs racing. The list goes on. Bistro food is fresh, tasty and original. Still thinking about the pasta I had their with smoked trout and cherry tomatoes.
Where to start... the location is close to both buses and trains. Staff is young and energetic. Easy way to order, either from the counter or straight from your phone. Food is really good and portions are fair. Happy dogs running around. Outdoor and indoors seatings. Great selection of tap beer.. I'm just describing heaven!!!
Great place for a cold drink and love their beer garden. Very chill and relaxing.
Quite possibly my favourite pub in the Inner West, if not the entirety of Sydney. It's the sort of place for any occasion, at any time of day and no matter the mood you're in. Where the staff are friendly, the security are professional and, most importantly, the beers are cold and with a good selection to boot! To me, this is the standard for which every, classic Australian pub should be measured against. A cornerstone of the community and a special place in my heart. Love it!
Great pub in inner city location at Newtown. Had gf options and we ordered gf pulled pork nachos and a medium rare steak +chips/salad. Loved that it's a dog friendly pub and so we had plenty of "helpers" at nearby tables to finish my generous serving of nachos!!
A stunning location, it perfectly covers a true natural environment which makes you feel real comfort and welcome as you endulge on the beautiful nourishment presented to you. It also includes many healthy options, which is simply splendid. The only thing negatively note worthy to comment about are the prices as some dishes and beverages can be a little exaggerated.
Great pub with friendly staff. Also the best place in Sydney to watch not just Sydney Swans, but ALL other AFL and AFLW games with the sound up on their TV’s. I LOVE how they got an artist to recreate the old Scanlen’s VFL footy cards from the 1970’s, then placed these picture frames of old Aussie Rules footballers in their team colours on a space of the wall elevated above the bar !
It’s refreshing to go to a local establishment in Sydney whose owner (Solotel Group), has for the most part maintained the pub’s original historic building and not just simply demolished it to build a new pub building.
Great environment and mostly important family friendly. Our steaks were perfectly cooked. The life music was fantastic! And the staff members really nice. 100% recommended
