The Welcome Hotel

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!

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. 🐶

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

the kids burger is not a burger. it’s a slider. do not buy the kids burger. but overall food is great! food is cooked fast! one of my favourite places for lunch on a sunday! outdoor area has all the atmosphere i recommend.

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

Best pub in an area of a lot of good pubs. Food is always on point and specials always interesting and new. Beer taps change regularly and nice and fresh. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Outstanding pub and kitchen. The food is top shelf, with a limited but well selected range of craft beers on tap. If you stopped going because of the below par food back around mid 2019, you need to go back, the kitchen is completely transformed. The Sunday roast is also incredible. Dog friendly, which is a huge plus too. Love this place.

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.
