Devastated that this is no longer a Redskins bar anymore. I used to come in to watch Redskins game, and the crowd was so lively and fun. After each touchdown, the bar would blast the Redskins Fight song and give everyone a round of free shots.
I came back in 2016 to watch the Redskins playoff game against the Packers. The bar was dead with only a couple of redskins fan. The restaurant no longer offered beer towers. The menu changed. I was so confused. Then I asked the hostess what was going on – and she said now they are a 49ers bar. I was devastated.
The bar is nice because it lets you make reservations, and there are plenty of TV screens for you to watch sports game. It is never too crowded and the booths are spacious. Other than that, it is a standard bar. Prices are higher as the menu offers "authentic" Australian dishes. However, it is a good place to meet up with friends to watch a sports game in a relaxed atmosphere and it is not often crowded. Wouldn't come here for the food though.
Fairdinkum, I'm not sure whats up with the low reviews.
I have been here more than a dozen times and always had a great time. On time I brought the family along, another time some work colleagues and the remaining times I just sat at the bar.
Great menu, the pies taste great. Nice selection of Aussie beers and Bundy Rum. Aussie sport is always on TV which is a major bonus. The restrooms (Toilets, dunny) is a little small for the amount of people in the place.
I'll be back. I always stop by when I'm in town.
Came here to watch the Big Game (Cal vs. Stanford) this past weekend with a bunch of other Cal Alums and was super happy with the space! We had a long table in the back since we had a part of 10, but there were plenty of booths in the back as well.
The drink selection wasn't bad..and I, of course, being a not-so-avid beer drinker, opted for a spike warm apple cider. YUM! It was really good, but definitely too hot to drink in a crowded bar. I wish I could've sipped on it outside to warm my soul. HA! No. But really, it wsn't bad…more of a novelty than a serious drink IMO.
My friend was ESTATIC to find yuengling beer here..apparently they don't have it in California…but apparently they kind of have it everywhere in New York. Oops.
Overall, it was a really cool place to chill and watch football. There is no shortage of TVs here, but nothing really stood out here to make it more than average for me. Great space, good company..decent food/drinks? Makes it A-OK in my book!
I just stopped in to be nostalgic and grab a pavlova….it was super dead on a Sunday afternoon. I sat at the bar, maybe two or three other people were in.
No one that worked there was really friendly or talkative, especially considering I was alone. I wasn't given any napkins or even a water.
The pavlova was decent, but not as good as what I had in Australia 😛
Decent place to grab food. I came here because a friend was hosting her goodbye party on a Wednesday night and at 8:30PM-9:00PM, the back area was dead. Lucky for the establishment, 40+ of us sat down to grab food and drinks. I had the Australian Burger, which had a fried egg on it (very interesting) and also some passionfruit hard cider. I was starving so all of it tasted good. The food was fine, but prices are a bit higher than they should be ($18) for the burger and ($8) for the cider. Also, two of us in a subset of 7 people ordered our burgers medium while two ordered it well done. Guess which ones came out first? Yeah, the well-done ones, which doesn't make any sense to me. In any case, a decent place for large group gatherings.
NIce that it's not your typical Irish Pub in midtown.
Came for an alumni event. On the ground floor they have bar seating and high tables. Upstairs they have a smaller bar and couches with coffee tables for a more intimate feel.
Happy Hour is Monday – Friday from 4-7. Selection includes wine, some beer, and typical mixed drinks.
I have came here for happy hour twice. The australian is a sports bars with lots of tvs and decent happy hour deals. The place is nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Good if you would like to watch European soccer and rugby games. They were also playing football when I was there last. It really runs the gamut.
Saw the Ind vs Aus T20 World Cup Quarter Final (league game) here.. I left with a very happy memory… primarily because India defeated the Aussies (Yeah!!!) and I was 7 schooners down.. Had the Coopers Ale for the very first time, and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Claudia, our server was very friendly and attentive, in an extremely crowded bar on a Sunday morning.
I wish the game telecast was an HD Stream though.. that's my only complaint.. however, it did not interfere in my WC watching experience at all!
