Went on a Tinder date that was organised during Sydney covid2021 Lockdown. We had FaceTimed and text chatted for a few months. So we appeared to be fairly ‘introduced’ by date night at the Toxteth, Glebe Road, Glebe. The Toxteth layout is good. There are pretty much three areas for drinking, eating and vaping or if you’re old school hard case, smoking. Also they serve pints (average $10.00 per pint). Date didn’t go well. She said to me, “I can tell you why woman are not attracted to you..” I declined the feedback not with sour grapes but with the self determined knowledge that beauty, attraction, friendship is in the eye of the beholder. Thus, still single and still looking. Though I will say that I’ll organise any possible future dates to the Toxteth. Great atmosphere, food is good and reasonable. We shared a bowl of wedges with spicy sauce. It wasn’t meant to be a long dinner date. More of a greet and meet. Though even though I was an unattractive date we ate, drank and talked for over three hours. Loads of busses up and down Glebe Point Road and also plenty of street parking if you’re not boozing. I must admit it would have been so good if the Sydney light rail went all the way up George Street and up and over Haymarket and along Glebe Point Road. Regardless, the Toxteth is a friendly, watering hole with loads of local buzz.

The Tokkie has been our closest pub for decades...but it isn't our local which kind of says something. The food has been hit and miss over the years and the beer selection is avarage at best. However, like moths to a flame, we keep coming back...and like those moths, sometimes we get burnt. Last night was one of those nights. The entree special was three oysters with a sauce on the side. Despite the fish markets being a stroll away the oysters that came out we of incredibly poor quality and dubious freshness. The dipping sauce on the side was pretty much red wine vinegar. I advised the manager at the bar about the sketchy oysters and to her credit she not only gave a refund but stopped any more of those oyster plates from leaving the kitchen. OK, on to the mains. The steak sandwich wasn't as good as usual (the tomato relish was missing) and the chicken shnitty was the worst we'd ever tried...approx 3 mm thick chicken with a heavy oily crumb...with a salad of leaf and dressing (the least you can do). If you want a sauce with your $27 schnitty it costs extra. On the bright side the chips were great. We should have stuck with our usual order of KFC calamari and steak sandwich but then again we shouldn't be punished with terrible food when exploring the menu. The garden bar is a lovely place to sit and we keep hoping the kitchen returns to the glory days of old but after last night it will be a while before we stop in again.

Toxteth is my favourite pub in Glebe and I always recommend it. Food is top notch. Have to say though, I’m pretty devastated that they refuse to honour $1 wings on Thursdays… but continue to advertise it in print around the pub and on their website…? Pretty unethical behaviour (especially in a cost of living crisis) to draw people in with pub specials advertised everywhere and then tell them they’re not doing that discount anymore. At the very least, honour your advertising - that’s a basic legal requirement of retail and hospo! Bit of a dog move, Tocky team. Note: The manager refused to honour that advertised price even after seeing it on the billboard outside the pub and then went ahead and changed the billboard in front of us as if it had never been there. Bit gross.

Went out for dinner and decided to try the daily special which today was the beef with butter and shoestring fries. Also ordered the schnitzel. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked. Even though the beef only offered the options of pink or well done, it suited my preferences. The seating arrangement and layout were impressive, and the venue was spacious. The customer service was outstanding and very friendly. Although there was a QR system in place, it was not possible to order using it, which was anticlimatic. Once the QR ordering system is enabled, I would rate the experience a 5. In my view, this system saves a lot of time and reduces the long queues at the bar. I actually don’t think I’ve been to any pubs as of late which didn’t offer a QR ordering facility.

The toxteth has a new menu!! I ordered the chicken Caesar salad without croutons but was mildly surprised to learn that it also didn’t come with bacon. I raised the issue with the kitchen and they admitted that it wasn’t included as per the menu and offered to cook me some on the side. Seemed like an odd omission to a traditional salad… anchovies I can understand and only assume the Parmesan is grated so fine it is hiding in the dressing. So if lettuce, egg, cheese, croutons and Caesar sauce is your thing - come on down and try it!!
