About us

Welcome to one of Balmain's oldest and most loved pubs.

Welcome to The Royal Oak, one of Balmain's oldest and most loved pubs. For over 30 years, this family-owned pub has been run by hospitality great Maureen Thornett and daughter Sophie, becoming the go-to spot for locals and foodies alike. Our menu features gourmet pub fare, daily specials and trusted classics. Pair your meal with our extensive range of fine wines, beers and expertly crafted cocktails.

Spread across two levels, The Royal Oak isn't just about great food and drinks.

Watch live sport on the big screen in our cozy bar, celebrate a milestone birthday in our spacious skylit restaurant, or host a special event in one of our private spaces. On a sunny day, our outdoor seating is the perfect spot to soak up the Sydney sunshine.

More than anything, The Royal Oak is about community. It's a place where great food, drinks, and good times come together. Whether you're a local or just passing through, we can't wait to welcome you!
