The Paddington Inn is one of Sydney’s best known local pubs. Located at the top end of Oxford Street, the “Paddo” is in the heartland of Sydney’s best shopping strips. The place buzzes on week nights and is particularly happening on Saturday afternoons when a hip crowd shoots pool or pulls up stumps by the large windows to watch the fashion world go by.
Set in a beautiful old building, the spacious Paddington Inn has recently been refurbished. From the snug booths, to the upstairs terrace to the comfortable couches, the look is sleek and modern without sacrificing the warmth of a historic pub. The courtyard blends seamlessly with the back bar to create a breezy outdoor feel.
One of Australia’s original gastro-pubs, the Paddington Inn serves up high quality food in a funky setting. Top chef Chris Stockdale is the driving force behind the tasty “pub grub”, which also features an extensive wine list. The hotel also has a busy bottleshop, serving a boutique range with weekly specials.
