The Royal Oak
Check in at one of Balmain's longest-standing pubs.
Overview
With weekly trivia, daily specials, live music, cold beers and cocktails, The Royal Oak has all the trappings we love in an Aussie pub.
Not just a spot for drinks with mates, the buzzing open-plan kitchen churns out dishes of all kinds covering all bases. From pub grub classics (steak, bangers and mash, fish and chips, chicken parmi) to pasta dishes and fresh seafood (Sydney rock oysters, anyone?), plus desserts galore. There are also daily specials and meal deal offerings for those searching for a good value lunch or dinner.
If you're a local looking for a takeaway with a difference, you can snag nearly its entire in-venue menu on the go, including its sharing lamb shoulder for four people, served with sides of Greek salad, charred lemon, tzatziki, red wine jus and crushed new potatoes sprinkled with rosemary salt. It's ideal for a next-level dinner party. There is also a short and sweet weekend brekkie offerin,g with Infinity sourdough breads, croissants, pastries, classic bacon and egg rolls, and smashed avo with Persian feta — with an option to add a coffee to either — if you're looking for something quick in the area.
