BBQ platters? Arcade games? And did we mention the beer? If it's an atmosphere that you're after, venture to Surly's in Surry Hills. This lounge bar has a plethora of lagers up for grabs, along with fabulous entertainment, such as quizzes and live music gigs to get stuck into.
If you're on the hunt for beer bars in Sydney, you can always rely on The Australian Heritage Hotel. Explore the range of hop-tastic coldies across the laid-back space, all before chowing down on Tasmanian honey chicken wings, salt 'n' pepper squid or cheesy garlic bread. Yum.
Home to a gorgeous terrace, The Tilbury Hotel is the ideal destination to down a few glasses with a view. Don your sunnies and head outside to enjoy some lip-smacking serves. If you've worked up an appetite, enjoy a dozen Sydney rock oysters.
When it comes to the best beer bars in Sydney, The Vicar is a top choice. Grab a seat on the pretty outdoor terrace, where you'll be able to slurp on some grog with a view. For those of you who have worked up an appetite, opt for a grilled cauli steak served alongside an artichoke puree.
Flaunting industrial-style ceilings and exposed brick walls, Village Crown is a bar worth visiting. Not only does this venue showcase tasty plates including classic cuts of steak, but it also offers a wide range of beers on tap, from Japanese to Italian pours.
Although better known for bespoke cocktails and daily food deals, Stoned Crow is also an ideal hangout for some grog. This plant-adorned drinking destination offers up a plethora of bottles for hop-head and $15 burgers 'n' fries on Wednesdays.
Beach Road Hotel is a popular bar for beer in Sydney for a reason. Home to a sprawling garden for alfresco drinks and a crackin' late-night inside space (Giggs has even performed here), you can't go wrong at this Bondi boozer. Even better, you can also order coldies in jugs.
For those of you who like getting competitive alongside pals, check out Bondi Bowling Club. Showcase your skills on the grass with a pint in hand, all before chowing down on the finest bites. Sports fan? There are also plenty of HD screens to catch the action.
The clue's in the name with The Taphouse. Split over three levels, this drinking den flaunts over 60 taps, alongside an epic selection of bottles and cans. And to accompany your pint? Choose a few sharing plates, from the likes of crumbled jalapeno poppers to fried chicken wings.
24/7 Sports Bar is a top choice to keep up to date with all of the scores, from The Ashes to the World Cup, on HD screens. But, did you know there's also a fabulous selection of beer to enjoy? Slurp on a craft bevvie, all before tucking into smoked pork spare ribs smothered in BBQ sauce.
Searching for breweries in Sydney? 4 Pines Truck Bar is a hop-head's haven, as it whips up fantastic IPAs, craft beers and ales to enjoy in the cool space. To top it off, there are also plenty of guest kegs or melt-in-the-mouth Angus beef burgers to enjoy.
