Paddo RSL

Sometimes you just want an ice-cold schooner of Reschs and a good old-fashioned pub feed. In Paddington these days, though, such can be hard to come by. Thankfully, Oxford Street's Paddo RSL provides all the the no-frills atmosphere you're after. Here, the the beer is flowing and you can get a steak for a reasonable $13. Plus, it claims itself to be the 'home of live music in Paddington', which isn't too far off. You'll often find Tom Waits tribute nights and emerging local artists cutting their teeth here, as well as the RSL's regular cabaret night Show Queen Sessions.
