Why it's worth checking out
Surry Hills Hotel has served as a local pub since 1845, with a central Surry Hills location and a broad mix of spaces and services. The venue includes a Sports Lounge with TAB and Keno, a Lounge Bar with pool tables, an outdoor smoking area, a bistro and a bottle shop. It is also listed as open late, making it suited to everything from an afternoon drink to a later night out in Sydney’s inner city.
The pub’s food and drink programme includes several recurring specials. A Monday burger and beer night pairs a selected burger with a schooner, while Tuesday focuses on a single wok dish or noodles and rice. Wednesday’s steak and beer night features a 200-gram rump, and the weekday meal deal lists Cashew Nut Chicken with rice and Khao Gai Yang. The site also promotes selected tap beer, house wine and spirits from 4pm to 6pm daily, alongside rotating beer promotions and a free-pool offer.
With separate areas for sport, pool and bistro dining, Surry Hills Hotel works for casual catch-ups, groups wanting a game or a drink, and solo visitors looking for a straightforward local pub setting. The venue states that under-18s are not permitted downstairs and are only allowed on Level 1. Trading hours listed on the website run from 9am until 4am on Sunday to Thursday, and until 6am on Friday and Saturday.
