Originally founded over 100 years ago, Forrester's is a chic and friendly pub located in the heart of Surry Hills. Split into three areas; a traditional bar, light and airy restaurant and specially-designed live events space, the spot offers plenty to explore.

Part of the Applejack Hospitality Group, the community-centric watering hole is popular every night of the week. On Mondays, swing by for the legendary $10 steak deal, or head here on the weekend to enjoy a luxe bottomless rosé lunch. The weeknight à la carte menu includes fresh seafood, vibrant salads and stacked cheeseburgers. 

Having undergone a $1.5m facelift in 2020, the venue's interiors are pared back, with original wooden beams in the bar paying tribute to its past. In the Phylli's dining room, you'll find a botanical wonderland with colourful printed wallpaper and lush plants hanging from the ceiling. And if you're looking for a quirky date night venue? The second floor space plays host to a roster of events throughout the week, from live comedy to trivia nights and sport screenings.
