Natalie McDonaldAugust 23, 2016Really good pub food served here, the pie, burgers, steak & parmi were delicious! Casual place, cosy, upstairs more chilled.
Alastair WallNovember 25, 2013Has to be the best steak from a pub in Sydney and it's only $12.50. All food is $12.50 tastes amazing and good size quantity.
The lamb shanks are still seriously on point as are the T-bones. Get into it!
Tina FooMarch 6, 2015Salt and Pepper calamari was delish. They are little rings of calamari. Tasty and crispy.
Daniela MilanesiAugust 24, 2013All the meals are 12.50$, and definitely good value for money! I highly recommend it :)
- Food is great. Prices have gone up a bit but things range from $12.50 to $15? Still pretty good for good pub grub. Beer is pretty standard.
- Willem Reyners TayNovember 21, 2009Best $10 meals in Sydney. The recent upgrade of the upstairs was welcome, but it has reduced seating capacity. Thursdays seem like the busiest nights and you might have to wait around for a seat.
Upstairs rocks but during the week you want to get there before 7 to get a good seat. The chicken parma is my favorite, dont listen to that other guy!
Alex GoodenJune 25, 2012Eat across the road at Mohr Fish. They let you bring it in to the pub if you order takeaway. Bit pricier but way better than the Shakey's kitchen.
- scrange downingJuly 4, 201020 meals for under $10, tastiest pub grub in Sydney by far and double happy hour Mon-Fri makes the shakey the best pub around.
Chris Walker-BushSeptember 25, 2011Great $12.50 meals. One of the best steaks you'll ever find. Read more
- Beautifully cooked lamb shanks, tender, moist, falling off the bone....lovely. Ten sheets? I'll have two!
Markus T.February 10, 2012What a bunch of fucking loosers! The cricket is on but the tv is not gonna happen. Don't got there if you wanna enjoy a proper Aussie pub!
tamzin taylorOctober 29, 2010Play trivia here and get to know the interesting characters & locals from across the road.
Kenneth MionnetNovember 28, 2010Bar service is filled with backchat and incompetence. Well-priced meals. Upstairs is a lovely parlour-town
Mikerism BMarch 13, 2010Watch out for the swarm of dorks from Host especially the rotating mayors. Also, Michael G loves doing poos here.
Cubby BearAugust 17, 2010Great food at cheap prices, some of the bar staff need to learn how to smile though!
- You can place your order through interpretive dance. Try it!
- The upstairs bar is like your very own pocket Edwardian parlour.
- Daniel BakerNovember 27, 2009Dont get the crumbed chicken schnitzel, it's dodgy. I recommened anything else on the menu though!
don't get the salt and pepper squid. tasteless and gluggy.

"The mojitos are absolutely amazing! Not cheap but you get value with how much alcohol is in it and how delicious they are! Get some salt and pepper squid to share at the same time!"

"There's usually a queue in this tiny gelato heaven. Messina has the most impressive range of natural gelato and sorbet flavours. The cute gelato cakes in the display are also worth admiring or buying!"
