Rag & Famish Hotel

This place hasn't changed since I was last here in 2005 and probably not for decades before that. A rarity in Sydney these days, an old school pub that hasn't succumbed to the corporate overlords like so many others.

Currently undergoing renovations and should come back bigger and better. Popular with the after work crowd any day of the week.

Had a lovely time with the boyz and a few beers. Open til late so it should be a great after work place to be....

Been going here since 2010, North Sydney resident. Took my Dad here while he's visiting from the US and introduced him to the Beef and Guinness pie. He loved it, I had pizza which was nice but not as lovely as usual, however they do have major building works going on too .
It was quiet from 12-1 but noisy after with the works . Still would recommend even with the building works going on.

I used to come to The Rag when I lived and worked in North Sydney back in 2007/2008. Back then the Beef and Guinness Pie was something special. Guess what... 18 years later and it\'s still as good as I remember and it still goes down so well with a Pint of Coppers

A good old Sydney pub with meals that are generous portion sizes. But they're tasty too.
Easy walking distance from the new Victoria Street metro station.

Great vibes and venue for drinks and food. Open late. They have a nice beer garden area and some indoor seating. Good for medium sized groups. They have a good range of tap beers and other beverages. Their food is standard pub fare, on the expensive side. Overall facilities are nice and a short 12 minutes walk to the train station and 5 minutes to the bus. Parking is limited street parking.

Really nice place to land for a relaxing dinner with a friend after flying into Sydney. Lamb was delicious, cookies and cream cheesecake was awesome, glad I didn't share it.

Well it isn't the Rag of old but it is still OK. The staff were friendly but it wasn't busy on Monday night so that might change. Some bar staff were excellent, others not so good. For food we had the steak on special and the fish and chips. Neither come with any salad or veggies, just chips. Same thing with the beef and guiness pie. The side salad was generous an the steak was good. The fish wasn't good at all. I think that it's about 40 years since the last time I didn't finish some fish but the fish at the Rag I couldn't finish.
So on my night out and trip down memory lane I visited three old haunts in North Sydney and the Rag was the best of three.

Out for the day and found this gem, food was delicious, and sat outside watching the World go by.
Shoutout to the young guy outside washing the white fencing down, very friendly, and gave us directions as we weee going to head in the wrong direction.
Definitely visit if ya nearby.

Good service and nice atmosphere. The food: The schnitzel was so good. It was cooked to perfection and a good portion size. Gravy was also nice. My dad ordered the rump steak and loved it, it was cooked to his liking. Also a good portion. The teriyaki chicken bowl was average nothing special. As for the pulled beef brisket nachos major disappointment. There was not much filling on them and barely any beef brisket. The taste of them were average. If you go here I don't recommend ordering the nachos. But I would definitely recommend the schnitzel and steak. Pies also seem to be popular here as well.
