Located in popular Surry Hills you'll find casual neighbourhood pub, The Beresford. Unlike the small bars popping up around town lately, this place is huge. There's a front bar, a bistro at the back, my favourite - a huge beer garden, plus an upstairs live music venue. You can pretty much be sure it will always be packed, and it... More

We had a selection from 3 entrees and 3 mains. I had whitebait (best ever) and my wife and I had ocean trout with white... More

Had the $10 week-day lunch which was very good value. Beautifully renovated pub (very cool/groovy toilets too!). Quiet when we were there, but it get busy in the evenings, especially Sundays. Nice beer garden out the back, but we sat inside the cool and dark wood panelled back bar. I think a great place for lunch and a good beer.... More

The Beresford is a bit of a Surry Hills institution, and a good option for a stylish pub with good, reliable food. There are a number of options, and everytime I've been I've been very happy with my meal - be it pasta, pizza, salad or a steak. There is a lovely courtyard - and while I miss the days... More

The main bar in the Beresford Hotel is like many others - busy, long bars, bright lights. But push trhough to the back and the bar becomes stylish, vibrant and....well....cool. with its low lighting, dark decor and atmosphic lit glassware, it suddenly becomes an exciting place to be. The service at the bar was efficient, the food good and tastly... More

The Beresford is a great space: as you enter you find yourself in the main bar, overlooking Bourke Street. The place is bright, well lit, clean and recently renovated, with a mix of modern meets art deco feeling to it. Big windows, mirrors and the colour scheme make the place feel ample yet cosy. The bar is specious, funky and... More

Just spent four nights in Sydney and we ate at the Beresford Hotel on 3 of the nights - it was so good. And it was packed each night - is evidently is a hit. Good food, choice of drinks, great prices, fab decor, great outside area & lots of space inside. Couldn't fault it.
