George Hotel Waterloo — Restaurant in Sydney

Great pub in Waterloo. Have been meaning to come here for months and finally got there this weekend. Will def be back! So many things to like!

The Taco King is worth the trip alone. Unreal authentic Mexican eats here. Will definitely be back for dinner to try the taco Al pastor (they only do these for dinner) as I've heard it's a must try. Besides that the team there were super friendly and helpful. We tried 4 different tacos and tostidos and has to go back for seconds with the fish taco. Amazing!

The pub side of things is solid too. Good beer (apparently the frostys beer is a brand owned by the owner of Frankie's Pizza. Hadn't seen it before and was a great drop) and a great space. We chose to sit in the courtyard out the back in the sun. Great for a Winter's day! The other options were to play pool, sit inside or out the front.

Lastly and an unexpected suprise was the bottle shop adjoining the pub. Such a great selection of craft beers, an extensive wine collection includong preservative free wines, non alcoholic bevvies galore!

Overall a great find for us (even though we drive past it multiple times a week!) So glad we stopped in and can't...

Best ungentrified pub in the Sydney! The bar supervisor Jeff (and all round legend) has been working at The George for 10+ years, and Lisa another friendly bartender, 20 years. Great conversation, welcoming, and the new Korean chef is great. The George has grown up a bit since I first started coming over a year ago, due to new management, but they've done great things with the place without destroying its old school, genuine pub look and feel. When I first came there wasn't even a menu, and now it's where I eat 2-3 times a week. This is where I come to destress and have a beer with the lovely locals on my lunch break, or for messy Friday night after work drinks. Once you become a regular, you'll feel a sense of community, and understand why we love The George so much and never want to see it turn into what every other pub is like these days. Come and visit before it does! And tell Jeff and Lisa that Lana...

Sadly not stoked on this place. Close to home so went for a $3 taco special that was advertised all over Broadsheet, got there, got drinks and went to order and the employee said that the article was “incorrect”... ok...There was no offer to honour it for like even one taco... Or any kind of compensatory measure...Even something novel like, “sorry you came here especially for a non-existent re-opening / re-branding special that was incorrectly advertised that we are well aware of, have a free drink instead.” We spent $60 on very average Mexican-themed pub food and left hungry. Tacos were flavourless and dry :( Unfortunately just another overpriced, average, gentrified city-fringe pub. 2 stars for the beer garden decor, kooky swan and pineapple water feature and eel pond + nice mosaic and flower wall. Also very buttery, nice corn. But corn is easy and...
