Paragon Hotel Reviews
Worst pub by an absolute mile in the Sydney city precinct. Was overcharged twice and the staff were rude and laughed when asked. I didn’t find it very funny, when I payed $53.00 for 2 bowls of chips that came out cold. 1 gin and tonic will cost you $12.50! Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Went for a work lunch, place had a great vibe to it. Service was initially slow although that boiled down to the large group, after that service was quite speedy. Would go again the next time I’m in Sydney

We met up with my Dad at the Paragon for lunch today. Food was amazing! Best one in the city for the affordable prices. My steak was excellent and my dad was very happy with his salad. Staffs were very kind offering us a fan right next to our table as I had a newborn in with me.

We had our high school reunion in the rooftop bar yesterday, it was a huge success. Big thanks to Michelle the event manager, she could not do enough to help us plan it & run it. Perfect weather, great venue, yummy food & drinks. The ladies were loving it. Thanks guys!

We came for a quick bite and drinks and were happy to see a great selection of beers.
We ordered the $1 Hot Chilli Chicken Wings & Chips.
The place was nice and quiet, so we got to enjoy our drinks and food.
Service was also quick and friendly.

Very pleased with staff attention. I ordered vegan burger, and guys were so kind to ask me for more details and carefully adjusted my order making sure it's definitely vegan. This is the most important part in restaurant service! Thanks! ❤️

The upstairs cocktail bar and eatery is quite large and open with a massive TV for side entertainment.
The day was warm (+30°C) however, with the windows open and fans circulating air, it was quite comfortable considering the amount of patrons.
Our function had chosen a set menu. The food was well presented and very nice to the pallet. The bar has a good selection of beverages both on tap and in cans or bottles.
Seating ranged from high tables with barstools to lower, more traditional seating.

The Chicken schnitzel was cooked well but not much season making it an average schnitzel.
Chips were well cooked and gravy had a good depth of flavor
The coleslaw actually really surprised me had pops of herbs through it was one of the best coleslaws I've eaten
Overall was a positive experience.

Thank you Alex and your staff, you have gone above and beyond with your level of service and attentiveness with our booking. Coming from Newcastle to celebrate my daughters 18th Birthday, planning everything via email wasn't always an easy task. Alex I truly can't thank you enough. The roof top bar is stunning! The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing and the service from everyone was next level, from management, to the security guard, to the lady who was on her first shift. We can't wait to visit again and again.

One of the good pubs in the area, two levels with smoking area outside and the first floor. Massive screen on the first floor for sports, the chicken wings were pretty good too.

Nice pub tucked away slightly from the main drag at Circular Quay. Small beer garden out back which is nice and shaded perfect on a warm summers day.

Nice lively place for after office drink. Book or reach early as tables are taken very quickly. No views of quay, just nice bar for chit chat.

Nice bar pub close to Circular Quay. Indoor and outdoor seating. Chicken schnitzel chips and salad. I did order vegetables but I was told they don't do vegetables. I ordered pepper gravy but they served plain. Basic salad which I did not eat.

My first visit to the Paragon and will definitely be back.
Staff were extremely friendly and made you feel welcome.
Nice little courtyard facing the park.
Coopers recommended and was great.
Glad I called in.

I went to the Paragon hotel cnr Loftus st and Alfred st Sydney Saturday 4/5/24. Really good hotel. There was a lady serving and doing bus boy or bus girl duties as well. The lady had long hair hanging down. It should be well known it's against health regulations to have long loose hair. Long hair should be tied up.

I’ve loved this place for a while always amazing atmosphere and most dishes are great quality, decided to get the pork belly bites and just wish it was advertised the actual amount of pieces the dish offered, they tasted great but I wouldn’t of ordered if I knew it was only 6 pieces

Good location, not the best food but some staff need to learn what is customer service!

Food is ok and slightly overpriced for what it is but that is the general trend in the CQ area. They have a coupon in the entertainment book which makes the price a bit more reasonable. Predominantly a white collar crowd. Better places to eat nearby prior to coming here for a drink. Don't have the sound on during many major sporting events.

Can recommend the Beef Brisket Burger and Wagyu Cheeseburger which were full of flavour. Nice outdoor area next to a small public green space. Enjoy.

Came in unexpectedly and had a great time even if it was packed for the American football game. Only thing that upset me was I had to go upstairs to order a cocktail when we were sitting downstairs. Place was clean and the atmosphere was great though. Cocktail was amazing. The best one I’ve ever had.

Better places to go in immediate vicinity.
Used to frequent this place.
Went in for nostalgia.
Bummed I did.
Below average service.
Could do better.
Shame.

A bar conveniently located right by the Customs House and Circular Quay light rail. A few times I passed by here at nights and it would get pretty busy. I was here late afternoon for a quick drink so can't say much about the foods. Sat outside not realising smoking was allowed 😒 next to a chain smoker....

3.5⭐️- nice atmosphere and a reasonable meal. I had the chicken parmigiana. Good portion served with chips and coleslaw. I sat at the upstairs bar area.
