Why it's worth checking out

The Alex is a pub in Alexandria, Sydney, set in the restored, heritage-listed Alexandria Hotel. The venue describes itself as a laid-back community hub, with communal tables that suit dropping in for a drink, meeting friends or settling in for a longer session.

Sport is a major part of the offering. Games are shown on the big screen, with particular appeal for Sydney Swans supporters, and the venue’s live-sport programme also covers NRL, AFL and selected Wallabies matches. There is food and a full bar to enjoy while watching, although the website does not provide enough menu detail to recommend particular dishes.

The Alex is family and dog friendly, making it a practical choice for local groups and visitors looking for an easy-going pub with room for different kinds of gatherings. Same-day walk-ins are welcome, while bookings can be made online or by phone. It is located on the corner of Henderson Road and Garden Street, with some street parking nearby; Redfern Station is about 650 metres away.

For an after-work visit, weekday happy hour runs from 5pm to 7pm, with selected house beers, house spirits, house wine, Aperol spritzes and cocktails available at listed promotional prices. The Alex is open from 11.30am to midnight Tuesday to Saturday, and until 10pm on Sunday.
