Everybody’s favourite all-American Tavern, opened in 2015, offering Sydney an authentic slice of Nashville. Located in the beating heart of Surry Hills, this dive bar is a well-needed escape from the daily grind; where big kids go to play, & the food makes them stay.

At $65 per head for 4 people $260 to only get 4 slices of ham and turkey plus one small tub of mashed potatoes to share with some vegetables was poor value.

Meat is good. Should’ve ordered meat platter to share in the group instead of each having their own choice of meat. Did t find the staff friendly or attentive much.

Food was terrific, highly recommend. Particularly the wings and BBQ platter. One of the staff was disappointing, she was watching the baseball game on the TV and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her placing an order for drinks. The English lady was infinitely better and much more friendly. We had a tab for a group of 10, when we saw the bill it was extremely great value as happy hour saw a saving of $44.

8ppl crammed onto a high-top table. Received menu but no one asked for our orders until we approached the bar. Given three serves of wings no share plates. Once finished had to ask for table to be cleared. Had to approach the bar again to order drinks and order mains. Waited like forever for drinks to arrive then approached the bar and was told "You already got them". Ah No Mains were cold and $50 platter mostly filled with fries. Chicken thigh looked more like a chicken nugget. Loaded tater totts were cold and soggy Had to approach the bar again to get table cleared. Most of the time staff on their phones standing around. Drove from Newcastle for a poor experience
