The Rose Hotel - Chippendale

Actually one of the best burgers I have ever eaten!! I got the rose burger, and while the patty looked huge it balanced perfectly with the caramelised onion and pickle/lettuce. I was super impressed and very happy. My partners chicken Parma was apparently also great

Trivia night Tuesday is up and running at the Rose in Chippendale as we munch on the daily special before heading off to the theatre! Wow, baby! Step back in time! Used to play pool here back in the uni days but didn't spot a pool table (I'm sure there's one somewhere)....just a large crowd eating the daily special of Chicken Parmi for $11 with a salad on the side!  If you spend over $20 you get a free drink, so I bought two mains and got a beer for my friend for free! Totally great value and the dinner was delicious and skilfully cooked! Download the app to stay in touch with daily deals.... they even have a vegan veg menu on Wednesday for $12! Suitably impressed! The Native Rose....you have blossomed!

The Rose Hotel is a great little pub in Chippendale. They have a front bar section with enough beer on tap to ensure that every hipster and craft beer lover will be able to grab a brew that will suit them. The back area is my favourite part big long tables, it's own designated bar section with a huge selection of spirits and wines. The staff here are knowledgable and keen to discuss the drinks that they are pouring. They have an upstairs section for functions and a great whiskey happy hour throughout the week. Definitely put this on your list for an after work drink spot

My friend lived nearby and decided to have his birthday party in the Rose Hotel. From outside it looked just like any other suburban pub quite unassuming and ordinary. Even when we passed the front bar area it still appeared quite unimpressive. Then suddenly the pub opened to a large courtyard, half elevated undercover and half exposed. Following the staircases by the end of kitchen we ascended to upstair bars overlooking the courtyard. The upstairs bar was small but did have a few lounges on the balcony, where we found the birthday party. The pub was jam packed with young college looking 'cool kids '. I usually run away from places like that but there was some eccentrically exciting buzz about this pub. The vibe must have caught on us we had a great night there. The food looked damn good as well, I wished I hadn 't had dinner. It is a pub I would most certainly re-visit and try the pizza.

The best bangers and mash I've ever had were from the Rose. Great beer garden out the back. And with pool tables, board games and an impressive range of tap beers it's all too easy to settle in.
