Ok this review will be a bit different because I went to this place just for beer! (And some chips) I know Zomato is related to the food but this is important anyway because when you have good beer even the bad food taste good! Just go to this place and grab some handcraft beers. I loved the stout!

I was looking for a place to have a decent dinner prior to attending a concert at Allianz stadium. Having seen that the Zomato reviews were pretty good, I thought I would check it out for myself.
We had the flat iron steak, the pumpkin gnocci and chicken wings. The food itself was quite tasty and reasonable value. The chicken wings were quite good in that the coating had some crunch, but just seemed like the flavour needs some tweaking to get it perfect.
In regards to ambience, I loved the timber upstairs and the old books and photos, which make you feel like you are visiting someone's house rather than just a bar. However, the problem with the hard surfaces was that it was quite noisy and difficult to have a conversation. Yes it may have been my bad luck that I happened to be sitting next to a table of 10 people who were quite loud, but I still think that noise is an ongoing problem they would have.
Conclusion: If you are looking to avoid the notorious takeaway at Allianz stadium, I would definitely recommend this place. If it is a date night and you need quieter surroundings for your dinner conversation, I suspect that nearby Thai Nesia would be a better bet.
Note that I have uploaded a menu because it is different to the one which shows on Zomato at the moment.
The Local Tap House is a dreamland for beer-lovers and certainly one of Sydney's best-kept secrets. Situated at the junction of Flinders Street and South Dowling Street in Darlinghurst, the art-Deco building features a beautiful 1920s interior and a rooftop open--air garden (not during winter though!)
While most typical bars and hotels offer a range of common beers and cocktails, the Local Taphouse allows you to rediscover your tastebuds with an eclectic mix of crafts beer from 20 unique and rotating taps which they brewed from their backyard. What comes out from the tap were rich, gourmet beers which were absolutely mind bogging.
I had my Mango Ale a couple of months ago. The rich Mango flavour combines flawlessly with the thin summer ale. The attractive golden appearance and the aromatic and flavourful beer gives me an unforgettable experience. What impresses me more is a constantly changing tap list 😁
The rooftop bar is the place to be on a warm summer afternoon. Great selection of beers that are always changing. You can also book here for a small group function as needed, and they're always happy to accommodate.
The Local Taphouse Darlinghurst, along with its sister pub in Melbourne’s St Kilda is one Australia’s premier craft beer venues. Housed in an old hotel that spans three levels, the atmosphere of the venue is very old school pub like with lots of lacquered wood and dark furnishings.
This is the official THHF stomping ground! Treat yourself to a chicken burger, you will not be disappointed! The selection of beers on tap are amazing, and you don't have to leave the sunny little rooftop garden to get one, the bar is on the roof! 5 stars in anyone's books, am i right?
Love this place. Great vibe, fantastic ales. Menu is very good and the Sunday roast is td4. Good work guys but one small rant...if you're going to serve a Yorkshire pudding the size of an Amish barn, you really need a significant amount of gravy to match. Otherwise, the pork belly was magic.
A three level pub on the corner of Flinders and South Dowling sits ‘The Local’. I’ve visited a couple times before purely for their massive selection of craft beers (that’s a good enough reason to visit any pub!), but this is the first time dining in. Pub grub is one of my favourite things to eat on a relaxed Sydney weekend. The Local Taphouse sits off a busy street, however there’s often parking in the back street. And with three levels – including the open air rooftop – it’s the perfect destination for a lazy afternoon.

Good spot for catchup with mates. I prefer the rooftop area on a sunny day as you can still get some of that vitamin D. Good range of beers on tap although sometimes they sell out at the top level so have to go down stairs to get it. Food is also ok. Their share places are good. Beware the stairs if you have had a couple of drinks!
Amazing local spot with the food to match, always have a great selection of beer. The gnocchi was incredible tasted as if it was home made. The risotto balls completed the dish well and a side of fried chicken wings that actually resemble a reasonable serving was great. Highly recommend this venue.
Incredible venue! A heritage-listed pub that has been here since 1878 - the layout is awesome, food is awesome and service is awesome. My partner and I had our Engagement Party on the rooftop bar of this venue and would highly recommend! It is just such a beautiful and unique layout. Perfect for a cocktail style event. The team at The Taphouse/Elm Rooftop bar went above and beyond. I still have people telling me today what a great day it was. This pub has 3 levels - very funky, first level is their main pub, second level an event space and top level a Rooftop Bar!! It doesn't get much better than that. Please do yourself a favour and go check out this venue :)
Good selection of tap beers. BBQ platter was decent. A couple of meats were on the dry side.
I held my 21st birthday party at the Taphouse and it was one of the best venues I've been to. The staff were very accommodating and keen to make the night a good one. The food and drinks were awesome, and my guests had such a fantastic time.
I will be recommending this venue to all of my family and friends :)
Thanks again for a great night.
Best range of beers in Sydney. Cute rooftop. And the 10$ paddle on thursday is the best value.
We had a work event here on a Friday afternoon, and Luke and his team were so accommodating and great! We can't thank them enough. Our work event was themed, and we were able to use the space in the way we needed for the event and also Luke and the team were happy to get involved. The food and beverage package we arranged was also perfect for our group, and everyone had a great time. Thank you so so so much again, and would definitely recommend for any event!
