Northies Cronulla Hotel

Northies Cronulla Hotel is a beachside pub and bar for food, drinks, sport and live entertainment in Cronulla, with the sand and surf forming a clear part of its identity. The venue describes itself as a large, sunny place with a strong connection to the local community, and positions itself as a gathering point for the Shire. On weekends, live music keeps the dance floor busy, while game days bring an extra layer of energy as the venue supports Cronulla’s Sharkies.

The food menu covers modern Australian pub fare alongside familiar favourites. There is a broad choice of starters, tacos, mains, burgers, schnitzels, steaks, pizza and salads, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options identified on the menu. Standout choices include chilli prawn linguine, pan-roasted barramundi, house crumbed chicken parmy and the grilled salmon bowl. The grill section offers several cuts, including Angus rump, sirloin, bone-in sirloin, T-bone and scotch fillet, while the pizza list ranges from Margherita and Pepperoni to Chilli Prawn and Steak & Potato. For something sweet, the house-made sticky toffee pudding and cookie dough skillet provide a substantial finish.

The drinks list is particularly extensive for a pub setting, spanning classic and signature cocktails, carafes, mocktails, bubbles and a sizeable selection of white, rosé and red wines from Australia and overseas. Classic cocktails include the Negroni, Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martini, while the signature list includes combinations such as mango and coconut, mandarin and rum, and blackberry with bourbon. Northies also notes that it follows the responsible service of alcohol.

Weekly offers give regulars another reason to visit, with a Monday burger special, half-price pizzas on Tuesdays, two-for-one pub classics and pizzas on Wednesdays, and Thursday steak specials with chips and salad. Families are catered for with a dedicated kids’ menu and a Sunday offer providing a free kids’ meal with any main meal purchased. The mix of casual dining, drinks, sport, music and beachside surroundings makes Northies suitable for group catch-ups, family meals, post-surf visits and an easygoing night out, while the menu’s range also gives solo diners and smaller groups plenty of choice.
