Hope and Anchor - Brisbane

The food here is fantastic! This little gem is a local hot spot for those in Paddington with great value specials each week. Sit inside at a rustic table or outside in the courtyard.

Wow, Zomato has a lot to answer for! 1 review below 4 and this place has a 3.0 rating...?! Hey tonnes of places with a “sponsored” stamp rating up close to the 4’s? <br/ <br/ Annnnyway, assuming this rating stays put (screenshot’d to prove a point) Hope and Anchor is a solid little pub. It’s got beer, it’s got spirits, it’s even got cocktails if you want and it’s got pub food without being a fringe sess pit (turns out I don’t know how to spell that term I use so frequently) like the Paddo down the road. <br/ <br/ Staff could be a little more happy to see you, but you know... millennial and all that. <br/ <br/ Paddington, nay, Brisbane! Needs more neighbourhood pubs (and less self proclaimed critics) like Hope and Anchor.

Brisbane needs more pubs like this one!! Finally an English-esque pub serving up great nibbles and drinks! I came here for a couple of drinks with some friends and loved it so much that we had to try the nibbles. We only ordered a small share platter which featured grissini, cured ham and some of the most juicy and delicious olives I have ever come across! Despite being simple, all the ingredients complemented each other perfectly and for $12, was just the snack we needed before dinner! For those of you that love the English tradition of crisps with your pint, packets of monster much and Lays potato chips are also available at the bar!! How cool!! Outdoor beer garden is great and well lit with dim warm lighting. Can’t wait to come back and try this place for dinner! Rebecca Stephanie Hamish

I think it has taken a little while for this pub to hit it's stride, and to anyone considering going I would suggest ignoring some of the earlier negatives.<br/ <br/ True, the selection of beer is not huge, but what they do serve is good quality, and thank god they have included pint sized glasses (take note, every drinking venue in Rosalie! <br/ <br/ Yesterday we finally took the plunge at the burgers.  I had the cheese, and my wife had the chicken.  They were pretty awesome to the point I would say could even edge in front of a number of other burger offers in the area.  <br/ <br/ H A is a great addition to the area.  Sorry that we left only noticing a guitarist setting up.  Great call!

Went there with girlfriend for a beer and a small bite I have to say ai was impressed. Nice european atmosphere with soft music so you can actually talk without scream. We had arancini with basil and I was impressed about the crust and good flavour.. Definitely will ba back to try something different
