Empire Hotel Annandale

Celebrated a friends 50th at this hotel with 20 other friends. Food was up to the usual high standard for pub food with a wide selection and the great $12 Friday night Schnitty!Excellent cocktails at a very reasonable price, great wines, boutique beers and ciders.Atmosphere is a fun buzzy feel with super friendly attentive staff. Special mention to Shella who was so accomodating all night for any requests we had. The decor is great and creates a very warm ambience. Best in the Inner West!!

I come here often because I work very close. The staff are very friendly. The food is good, they have specials everyday - Ranging from steaks, burgers to roast dinners. Portion sizes are big!! Thursday they do a special on the ribs, it's huge and you'll struggle to finish.

We went here for a family lunch to celebrate a birthday. The environment is very nice, the food is good, high end pub grub with some specials to lift the overall quality, prices are reasonable for pub grub. Service was good and friendly.

Three of us had fish and chips, one salt and pepper prawns and squid, one the special steak for only $12. All well cooked, tasty. Enjoyed a middy of Reschs with mine. Much busier than on my last visit.

This pub was a lucky find! First thing you notice when you walk in is the eclectic decor. There is a sense of luxury thanks to all the rich fabrics and antique style furniture that is given a sense of fun as it mismatched. There is a real hat tip to bygone days and we were impressed. Gives your meal out a great vibe!Collect the menus from the bar. Lots of pub fare to choose from chicken parmigiana, burgers, ribs, fish and pizza. Prices for most mains were around the $20 mark. There is a good selection of dishes on the kid's menu. Two of our group had the parmigiana which was moist and tasty but be warned as serving size is quite large. It came with great chunky fries and a side salad. Hubby had the lamb chops with kipfler potatoes with feta. Verdict - delicious. Daughter had the kids cheeseburger and chips which she quickly demolished.Noticed that they are also offering high teas once a month on a Saturday at a reasonable price. Also have different special deals on different nights of the week.Certainly not your typical pub experience and highly recommended.
