The verdict
The Riverview Hotel is a pub that cares about their locals. Downstairs they offer good quality pub grub, or more refined offerings you can head up to the dining room upstairs. Their menu is seasonal and changes accordingly, but you can expect dishes such as 12-hour slow braised lamb shoulder with kipfler potatoes, pumpkin and seasonal vegetables to share or a beef and Guinness pie with colcannon and roasted Dutch carrots.
They pride themselves on their wine list and selection of craft beer and since they serve up a generous Sunday roast complete with Yorkshire puddings, Riverview is an ideal spot for a lazy Sunday session.

Bar Demo
Bar Demo is a late-night vinyl bar in Newtown, designed for lovers of a well-crafted drink without the fuss. Owners Claudia Morgan and Olly Churcher (Ex-Double Deuce Lounge) are bartenders by trade, so there’s faith to be had in their curated 60-bottle wine list and seasonally crafted cocktails. The venue itself has grown from their joint experiences working and sipping in some of Sydney’s best bars—Morgan says “we wanted somewhere open late where we could buy a bottle without sitting down for a meal, sink some martinis, listen to some interesting music or have a dance”. Bar Demo certainly checks all of the boxes: open 5pm—midnight, Wednesday—Saturday, with no full kitchen but a dedicated menu for snacks, and a soundtrack of full albums played on vinyl, with each night featuring a curated selection of tunes.
