![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Love the old pubs in the Surry Hills area. I cant stop but think all the history that has walked through the doors of these classic hotels. From men only bars to the gangsters and petty thieves etc.
We stopped for an afternoon bevvy and was feeling like some good sides to accompany our drinks.
Daughter had an award winning IPA and I had a Kiwifruit based beer. Both excellent and very refreshing.
We ordered onion rings and Chicken wings with the Jack Daniels sauce (or was it a bourbon sauce, memory not good).
I've had some very average onion rings before, but these were excellent. Batter was light and crunchy and not over powering the delicate flavour of the onions. It didn't say what the accompanying sauce was but it complimented nicely. A lively tangy flavour.
The chicken wings....OMG!
The wings were coated in a light crunchy batter with a beautiful sweet drizzle of the sauce. We devoured these babies without talking!!
Definitely want to come back on Thursday night for the chicken wing special. 1 kilo chicken wings for $15 or 2 kilo for $22.
Staff were smiling and super helpful.
Also dont forget the pool table and pinball machines in the side room.
If the main bar is too noisy there are quieter areas to sit.
Will definitely be back!!
Like the venerable Clock Hotel a few blocks away, and even the White Horse (now, the Horse), even closer, the Forresters has stood the test of time. I’m sure it’s been through management changes over the years. Gone is the Jamaican restaurant, Queenies, that I always meant to get back to (it seemed to have stopped around September 2017, though their Facebook page is still up). What I remember (accurately?) is that the Forresters was the place that started the $5 steak craze. A perfectly good piece of meat, served up with a sauce, and a crowd of people (but not too bad) eating meat. I always thought it was an interesting business model, as other pubs copied the idea, and then rules were put on (that you had to order drinks along with it) and then the prices went up ($6, $8, $10?) and then the deal disappeared.
Amazing venue, service is A grade, food is ALWAYS on point and ALWAYS hits the spot. I lost count how many times I've gone with a group of friends here and it's never disappointed. Not once. It's cheap, fun, drinks are always flowing and always a good time! Thanks for being my fav local! Oh! And just one thing... PLEASE for the love of god bring back *if you haven't already* your chips with meat gravy... it's literal gold. I recommend this place to literally everyone that's in the area X
Nice pub located at the corner of Foveaux St & Riley St. Decent selection of beers, and great deals during the week (the Monday $5 steak is unbeatable).
The atmoshere is very easy going and chilled. I was there on Monday for the 5 dollars steak and I I was happily surprised by the good quality of the meat; was juicy and tasty. 1 stake is enough (but if you are very hungry better order 2).
Great old pub and proper pub grub menu. Great service. Very down to earth. Huge venue so it's great for parties as they allow you to reserve a large area with a minimum bar spend which is them refunded.
Good sized hipster bar in Surry Hills selling beers, cocktails and mexican / carribean style
food. I got a rocket salad, with chickpeas, cheese and chicken spicy tacos. Friends got the bean nachos. They have heaps of burgers, pizza, and fried snacks! Also had some aperol spritzers. Service was pretty quick. It is a young pub so the food comes out in plastic or paper containers. Works for the environment.
I have been coming here for over a decade it has gone through a few changes but they miraculously have held on to the famous $5 steak. I think they still have it, it's been a year since I ordered it. Pizzas, burgers, and sandwhiches are all decent and they usually have a good lunch deal.

If your up for a pub feed that really his home then this is your place.
For a very busy establishment they do well to service the clientele in a very efficient manner.
Food is great and cooked upon request with reasonable pricing
Great unpretentious pub in Surry Hills. Love the laid back vibe and nature of this place. Staff are friendly and service is efficient. Sports games are always playing without the macho crowd and food is always good.would recommend if you're in the area!
