Willoughby Hotel

The Willoughby Hotel is a pub and bistro in Chatswood, Sydney, offering a straightforward local setting for meals, drinks and get-togethers. Its dining room is described as relaxed, with a menu that combines seasonal share plates and refined pub classics. That makes it suitable for a midweek meal, a weekend catch-up or an easy drink with friends, without needing to dress up the occasion.

For a familiar pub feed, the Monday to Thursday lunch and dinner special includes a selection of $18 classics. The listed options include chicken schnitzel with skin-on fries, slaw, lemon and a choice of sauce; a 250g rump steak with fries, salad and sauce; a cheeseburger with fries; pork Cumberland sausage with balsamic roasted red onions and gravy; and battered hoki with fries, salad, lemon and sauce. These dishes give the menu a recognisable, filling focus while the broader bistro offering adds seasonal share plates for guests who want to make a meal of several dishes.

The bar covers both casual and longer catch-ups, with local and imported beers, craft brews, boutique wines and spirits. From Monday to Saturday, a $6 happy hour runs from 4pm to 6pm on selected beers, wines and spirits. The bistro is open from 11.30am to 3pm and 5pm to 9pm on weekdays, then all day from 11.30am on Saturday and Sunday, making it practical for lunch, dinner or a weekend visit.

There is also a dedicated functions offering for long lunches, birthdays and work events. The venue highlights character-filled spaces, flexible food and drink packages and support from its team with planning. That makes the Willoughby Hotel a useful option for groups wanting a pub setting with food and drinks arranged in one place, as well as for smaller groups or solo diners looking for a relaxed bistro meal.
