Courthouse Hotel - Pub Near Me in Darlinghurst New South Wales

$15 weekday lunches are precisely what we need (especially if you're a steak eater). Staff are always kind & helpful - mega important - good on them ??'?🏼??'?🏼✅🎉

Staff is so friendly, nice wines. And the music is just great laid-back-pieces from indie 90s and new stuff, not too loud, so you can have conversations. (That was early evening on Saturday.)

$15 for 200g rump steak special for Monday. No greens nor fancy garnish, but was good enough for $15 in Darlinghurst. I think the area became too fancy and way too expensive, but I prefer humble meal, perhaps with some greens though.

The steak was medium (I ordered medium rare and my hubby ordered medium, and they looked same, so I decided it is close enough) and the chips were crispy. Sauce was good. Happy hour!

The pub is for the locals and those who are familiar with the staff and it's presence, otherwise it won't survive around fancy gay bars and restaurants. I hope the pub last long, as it's iconic feature in Taylor square.

Had the lunch steak special. Asked for medium rare and it was well done. Chips were also really overcooked and greasy. No salad. Paid extra for gravy.

I attended an event at the courthouse for Mardi Gras 2024. The event stated it had views of the parade, however there was only 3-4 small windows available and you could hardly see anything due to the scaffolding outside. The cocktails I also ordered were only half filled. It was a complete rip off and my friends and I enjoyed the night from outside on the street.
