Terminus

We had a small group private function here last month. Vera's Cocktail Lounge is a hidden gem. We love the ambience, the colour scheme, the fresh, bright and clean open layout but yet snug and cozy, with the Vera's Bar adjacent to it serving drinks to our group. Perfect! The manager Nicky went above and beyond from the very beginning to make sure that we had a great evening and we did. Everyone was super impressed with the quality of the canapes. The bar lady Hannah who served the drinks to our group was really friendly and helpful, very pleasant to deal with. I won't turn 50 twice, and this place has definitely have made the celebration a memorable one. Thank you team : )

Loved our night here. We’ve been working our way through the pubs in Pyrmont while we live here temporarily and so far this is our favourite. Great atmosphere, great selection of beers, wines and cocktails. And the food is delicious. Definitely not the pub for an affordable feed, but for a nicer meal and great ambience it’s the spot.

Have been coming here since it opened (again), love the amazing building and the heritage. The wine list is decent and food used to be fantastic but the kitchen has changed hands recently and is nowhere near where used to be in terms of quality and value for money. I used to make an effort to come here when in the area but probably won’t any longer to be honest.

I always like going to the Terminus Hotel Pyrmont for a Rump Steak and a Corona. The staff are always friendly the food is always good and the beer is always ice cold. They also do a pretty good dessert if I feel in the mood. On one occasion I felt like a Tia Maria on the rocks and they didn’t have it in stock so they made sure they had some for the next time I came. When you get looked after like the way they do it definitely encourages you to come back. Thank you for the great friendly service.

MISSY THE CAT RETURNS More of a restaurant with a bar, than a pub as such. The pub aspects (trivia night amplified noise, bar staff vibe, awkward high chairs and tables) detract from the restaurant, and vice versa (pricey for a pub, dining section takes space that might be better left open for a decent boozer). To my mind, the key problem is that the food comes at restaurant prices but - at least, on the night - it rated as pretty ordinary pub fare. None of the six mains was a particular stand-out. Flavours were lacking. Pasta, a bit over. Chips, the usual. Granted, nothing was downright bad, but 'ordinary' is no longer good enough given all the competition in Sydney. Also, very noisy with trivia night (another restaurant vs. pub identity issue). Sadly, I'd rather go somewhere else for dinner, and then proceed somewhere else for drinks afterward. Missy The Cat Star Ratings: 5 - a place of rare genius that merits repeated return visits 4 - a strong effort with no major shortcomings 3 - a solid, worthy effort with perhaps one important thing to fix 2 - several important things wrong, but at least one important thing right 1 - can't be given a zero, doesn't deserve a dollar (as of review date)

Fantastic venue perfect for team bonding - as well as getting a good feed. Organised a welcome dinner at the private room just off the courtyard and received great feedback from my team members. Would definitely go back for future team events or social occasions. Luckily I'm also a local so looking forward to trying more of the menu too! Thank you team at Terminus!
