Lord Raglan Hotel

Lord Raglan Hotel is a recently refurbished inner-city pub on the edge of Redfern and Alexandria, making it a convenient local stop for people living in Alexandria, working nearby or moving between the two neighbourhoods. The venue describes itself as having a loyal local following alongside professionals from surrounding offices, with a straightforward focus on food, drinks and regular events.

The food offering covers small share plates and classic pub meals, giving guests options for a casual drink with something to eat or a more substantial pub lunch or dinner. The listed specials include chicken schnitty, parmi, wings, a 200g Black Angus rump, lamb souvlaki and steak and frites. There is also a Wednesday combination of any burger with any schooner. These offers give the menu a familiar, accessible character rather than positioning the pub as a formal dining venue.

Drinks are a central part of the offering. Lord Raglan lists craft beers from local breweries, a curated wine selection and cocktails, with a daily happy hour from 4pm to 6pm featuring $9 pints, wines and spirits. The venue also lists Monday margaritas, along with a dedicated beer list and separate wine and cocktail selection. For a low-key catch-up, the combination of pub food and drinks gives the venue a clear everyday appeal.

There is a regular schedule of activities across the week, including Tuesday trivia, Wednesday’s Pick the Joker, a Friday DJ from 7pm, a Saturday meat and veg tray, and a Sunday roast. The pub also takes event enquiries, so it can suit groups planning a gathering as well as smaller local visits. Overall, Lord Raglan is best suited to casual meals, after-work drinks and social occasions where a relaxed pub setting, familiar food and a changing programme of weekly events are the main draw.
