    Bills never disappoints. Great ambience, consistently good food (though portion size on some menu items has reduced). Wine chosen was different to the one on the menu (a Riesling) but still delicious. Perfect spot for a family celebration (30th). We’ll continue to frequent Bilks, Surry Hills. Double Bay is our local and tend to go there but prefer the Surry Hills vibe.

It’s more than just a pub – it’s a cultural institution. The staff are warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, you’re treated like family. The drinks list is solid, with a great selection of local beers, creative cocktails, and everything in between. The food? Comforting, satisfying, and made with care – perfect for a casual lunch, a post-work bite, or a late-night feast. What really sets The Lord Gladstone apart is its dedication to art, music, and local culture. From rotating exhibitions and mural-covered walls to live gigs and pop-up events, there’s always something happening that feeds the soul and brings people together. If you're looking for a place that captures the spirit of Sydney's inner west – gritty, artistic, inclusive, and fun – The Lord Gladstone is the spot. It’s the kind of place you go for a drink and end up staying all night. Highly recommended.
