Royal Exchange Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

The weirdest thing happened and now I understand why it happened. I was playing the pokies I put a few hundred dollars in with my mate. My friends all spent thousands of dollars their on gambling. The staff has always been nice to me. I’ll be nice back but this particular day my friend said let’s go for a cigarette outside get some fresh air. I just got on the feature on the poker machine. We come back after from after the cigarette which takes like about five minutes, and my Friends beer and my water was gone like I was drinking water because I was in hospital for 14 days due to septic cellulitis infection so I couldn’t really drink and I had medical back pack on me that was sucking all the blood and puss and poison Infection out of my hand. In returning my friends Bieet is gone and my water was gone. I went to the bar and said please can I get another water is like I haven’t really bad infection and I’ve got this machine sucking up everything as Was pretty visible and beeping because it was on battery and I told him previously. What happened. and the security lady said to me you’re an idiot. I turned around and said why am I an idiot you have Been outside for 10 minutes 10 minute wow That’s why we took your drink, even though I had money in the machine has a feature up there’s been money A lot of money spent there my friend spend thousands and thousands of dollars there, I’ve got a little bit upset because every other time They were nice to me or just ignored me like I don’t know, I was nice to them also , Always said hello to all the staff and everyone then the manager so called manager called Seth comes out grab me an escort me outside and under the camera he was really trying to manhandled me and he put his put it Forehead hard against mine and started saying, hit me hit me hit me, I didn’t hit him. I just walked away. Laugh saying, I don’t hit people, . This exact that same thing has happened a few times to me with people’s businesses that are running down and that one assurance money, so they provide people to hit them He was obviously was very mad and angry. Maybe the pubs not making much money I don’t know what maybe he’s got problems at home but to take it out on person that’s been going there for so many years and Has a medical problem really bad medical problem, I don’t know I’ve got no words to say I’ve got no words I can’t find the words is it the money? What is it? I don’t know it must be the money of what I really liked the meals there. I spent heaps of money there and for them to treat me like that and it’s pretty ridiculous like you know, I don’t know. So if this happens to you, please do not hit anyone or just walk away because that What it’s all about to get insurance money to them. Thank you...

Excellent service and portion sizes. My wife and I have tried different pub menu such as classic schnitzel, steak, bangers n mash, lasagna and pizzas, and it never disappoint !

Her fav is schnitzel with Diane sauce (we have tried other sauces even the gravy is so good ! ) Last night she had the grilled chicken with boscaiola and they were spot on. The grilled chicken is so flavourful and not dry, and the sauce has so many bacon and mushroom.

My favourite is lasagna and though it’s not as popular as the steak there (this place is known for the steak), it is the best. I love to cook and I have tried lasagna from many Italian restaurants including the famous Italian bowl, so yes I am greatly impressed. Portion is massive for 16 dollar. Took it home and had it the next day or when It’s 1 am and I want some drunk food. Best ever !

The place can accommodate family with little ones, friends who want to watch the games and have some amazing meat feast, or even little date night at the side of the bar. Plenty of events, friendly atmosphere, inclusive, and great food for the cost. Drinks are the same, from classic wines, liquor and beers/ciders alike. Quality and quantity alike. Classic gem at the heart of Marrickville. 100%...

I've got to admit that I was initially a bit sceptical bringing my family to dine at the Royal Exchange based on the previous comments about the state of the male toilets. Despite this, and the fact that the menu had steak and a drink for only $10, I figured I had nothing to lose. And, truth be told, the toilets weren't bad at all, probably a lot cleaner than some of the kitchens of the local restaurants which litter the Inner West. All in all, the steaks were good, the fries were crisp, the drinks were cold and the toilets didn't make me nauseous or dry wretch or submit an offering to the porcelain God, belch the bile by-product, the big spit, blow chunks, clean the pipes, deliver street pizza, disembark dinner, feed the fish, fertilize the bushes, go for the 2nd chew, involuntary personal protein spill, or jazz up the carpet....
