The Welcome Hotel

Loved the Sunday roast! Must try the pork belly and rump cap! Yorkshire pudding and rest on the plate was just so delicious and easy to share for two. Fish and chips well done too. Wide variety of beers on tap, including white bay variety. Service is friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating available indoors and a patio out back.

We recently held our son and future daughter in law's engagement gathering here on a lovely Saturday afternoon. From the very first communication with Kylie the whole planning and event was seamless!! Kylie went over and above well and truly to ensure this very special event was perfect! We were given a private area with a big screen TV where her wonderful wingman set up our photos and videos. We could set up our own decorations around the area too. The roof and sides of the area were adjustable for any type of weather which luckily was perfect for us on the day. We worked together with Kylie and listened to her expertise with setting up the room, tables etc and she listened very intently and totally fulfilled our many and varied dietary requirements! The food was exceptional and plentiful and very reasonably priced & the bar tab very reasonable too with Kylie working out the most cost effective pricing beforehand. Every staff member also went above and beyond in their services, friendliness and helpfulness. Kylie also arranged for 2 tables to be reserved in the beer garden for quite a few of our guests who chose to keep partying, tea and coffee was also supplied which suited the elder guests! One of the main reasons we were initially recommended to this place apart from the food was that it does not have poker machines. Overall we highly recommend the Welcome Hotel for an event or just dining, it really is very welcoming and friendly and again huge kudos to Kylie and her beautiful nature, her expertise in event planning and excellent staff!! A HUGE thank you from our family, everyone who attended continue to sing their praises of the day especially our son and his fiance!!

Without doubt one of the best meals I’ve had in years at a restaurant or pub. We had the special of white anchovy toast w salsa verde and crudo for entree. Both delicious. In fact i normally hate anything anchovy but this has changed my mind. For mains my husband had fish and salt/vinegar chips which he loves and i had the Lebanese chicken w side steamed veg…THE BEST. THE BEST. Shout out to Lauren who served us with her lovely colleagues. So friendly and welcoming. Loved this place. Will definitely be back and definitely recommend..

What a Rozelle institution! Fantastic front bar - eat inside, the ambiance is unparalleled. The Scotch Fillet is one of the best valued steaks in Sydney. Cooked perfectly and not traditional in any way/shape/form, but perfect in its own Welcome way. Awesome pub!

Dinner on Sunday night was so nice!! Your staff was very friendly and accommodating. Special mention to Gerad. Food was so good too!!

The welcome hotel is a nice out of the way place but still in the middle of town. I had the chicken schnitzel and it was delicious but the construction of the dish was something else. The chicken was cooked spot on and the crumb was great. The tomato base was on the bottom or the first layer on the plate ( different). Then real Parma ham on top with buffalo mozzarella on top. Fantastic. The rocket salad (which I normally hate ) It wasn’t the peppery one and had a little parmesan cheese on it, I would have liked a bit more but I ate more than I thought. 5 out of five plates cleaned.

Food was excellent. Very delicious, generous portions. Quick service. Staff were excellent. This pub is very dog friendly, which is amazing. Very popular with pooches and their pawents. 🐶

9th November - Our lunch choice today was The Welcome Hotel - a great story behind the name of the hotel and given the background of the hotel and the inclusion of dogs being welcome is such a great idea - not the we had ours with us but still it was nice to see such a pub. Quite historic in its decor and a great garden to enjoy our lunch in. The menu had some great options and we enjoyed the Balmain Bug and the Prawn Toast'ada. Unfortunately the Spiced Crispy Cauliflower and Cucmber Raita was not as nice as we expected - it felt a little over fried and the battering took away from the meal. The staff were helpful and accommodating. Great place for lunch in an unexpected part of the Rozelle neighbourhood

This is my local pub and has been since I lived down the street a few years ago. This place never disappoints. The staff are always friendly and have always been able to squeeze my food order out of the kitchen at 9.58pm on a Wednesday on many an occasion. (Thanks again to the legends back in the kitchen). For a pub or even compared to many places I have eaten the food is top shelf and I never regret the money I spend eating and drinking the broad range of beers they have. The feel of this place is old , comfortable and familiar. Always a few grey haired fellas sitting in the corner and many others with family or friends. Great place and close to my heart. Love it!

This is another one of those awesome pubs that tend to be tucked away in the back streets. Yeah, that is one of the things that I absolutely love about the inner city, and that is pubs that generally aren't all that obvious. Yeah, this pub certainly does have a lot of charm about it, and in fact it has a pretty cool beer garden as well. Oh, and they also have a great selection of beers. Yeah, this is definitely working making the effort to visit.

WEDGES!!!! Crispy is by far my favorite word in the English language. I like my wings crispy, my bacon fat crispy, and above all, my WEDGES crispy. And the Welcome delivers. The Welcome's wedges, rather than being coated, are just straight-up potato, as a perfect wedge should be. I'm assuming they are twice-fried to achieve the crispitty, crunchitty, golden brown outside and the soft, creamy, volcanically-hot inside. Why 4 stars, you might say? They give you rather small dishes of sweet chilli and sour cream for your dipping pleasure. I always run out of sweet chilli about halfway through my mountain of crispy, potatoe-y goodness. I then have to embarrass myself by waiting patiently in the food-buying queue before sweetly holding out the empty dish and asking rather sheepishly for more sweet chilli from the always friendly and accommodating staff. And no, it's never crossed my mind to just eat the wedges sans sauce. Condiments on wedges like this are worth more than your self esteem. Oh yea, and the bar's pretty nice too :) Very pub-like without being too old-mannish, with a nice garden. BF says they have some of the best Guinness in Sydney. Wedges and Guinness- what more could a Irish-pub-loving Yelper want?

A constant rotation of craft beer taps in a cosy pub with friendly staff, phenomenal food and a great beer garden to unwind in.

They have a new chef and new management. The food is spectacular and the best it's been since I've been coming here regularly - which is from '04.
