Courthouse Hotel

The Courthouse Hotel — affectionately known as 'The Courty' — sits on Australia Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's most vibrant and eclectic inner-west suburbs. A much-loved pub, it's a genuine local institution — combining a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere with good drinks, quality food and a lovely beer garden, the kind of beloved neighbourhood hotel that's become a real fixture of Newtown.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, good food and drinks and a wonderful beer garden in a convenient Newtown location, ideal for a relaxed meal, drinks with friends, a catch-up or a lazy afternoon in the sun. The lovely garden and genuine, unpretentious character have made it a real favourite, and the Courty has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal, a drink or a relaxed afternoon in the beer garden, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the atmosphere at the Courty in Newtown.
