About this place The Native Rose Hotel

The Native Rose is a neighbourhood pub on Victoria Road in Rozelle, in Sydney's inner west. Despite the 'hotel' name, it is a pub, not accommodation, and it is mainstream and gay-friendly rather than a gay venue. It is known for live music, open-mic nights, bar snacks and pub meals, and has a beer garden out back. The inner west has a relaxed, mixed crowd, and Newtown, with its larger queer presence, is a short drive or bus ride away. Gig and open-mic nights change, so check the pub's website for the current schedule. Rated 4.3 from about 330 Google reviews.

We went to the native rose to watch the comedy show and some dinner. The food we had burgers and the were really good . The show was excellent very funny . The last act Luke Heggie was sensational one of the best I have seen . If your in Sydney or here for a holiday , take a ride to Rozelle to The Native Rose hotel , its well worth the visit

Look. I thought I would give this pub a go after playing a gig there one evening recently. So a mate of mine and I decided to we would head there, watch some NRL on a Sunday, as they have a big screen out the back of the Pub. (well they did the Friday night I played with my band there) They have some decent beer on tap too. We were planning on eating as well. Arrived around 3pm. No big screen on out the back, awful music in the front bar playing to an empty room, and the televisions that were showing the footy, were blinking and not in good working order (or the reception was bad...) Add to that $15.20 for a schooner of beer because of the Sunday surcharge and we were out of there after one beer. I don't enjoy writing the review, but they have to do a bit better than that.
