Nothing is open on Sunday's except for this incredible gay scene. They close the top floor early though so don't expect to have a late night . Amazingly crowded considering all around is a ghost town .

Daman

This is for the people who want to be seen at one of the hottest bars in Sydney. Don't forget to check out Upstairs Beresford ! Great music and quality people makes for a great time.

Michael Howlett

One of the best pubs in Surry Hills. Good value beers during the two hour happy hour . It's full most nights but the beer garden provides ample room for the trendy people who flock here

Rob Atkinson

Good big pub . Gay Sundays in the back courtyard are classic. Can be a lot of smokers in the back courtyard

Claus Gurumeta

Sunday Sesh is great, although patio can get packed. Good spot for eye candy and $5 beers from 5-7pm! The upstairs bar for special events is beautiful.

Phillip Minuto

Amazing modern venue! Courtyard is beautiful and you must go on Sunday nights! Beresford Sundays is a must

Shelby Ann

Half price pizza on monday and Tuesday. Backyard to die for ❤️

Virginia Gordon

Sunday is just the best time to be here - late afternoon - everyone is here! Magical lanterns in the courtyard with a gorgeous wall of ferns+ivy...the courtyard despite being outdoors is soooooo smoky

Andre S

It's more of a hotel style faux up market bar . The place is massive so there's always a place for you to sit. There's plenty of better bars in this area to explore first.

Scott McCallum

The Beresford is in my top 3 hotels in Australia, especially during the early hours.

If the jumped up 'roid heads on the door try & tell you that you must be 50m away from the premises after closing say NO. The rule applies only if you have been refused entry/ejected. Fight the power!

Martyn Timmer

Ever since Merivale took over the place improved a lot... the courtyard has a lot more green and tables in it and the food is actually quite good... as you would expect, prices are nice and heigh, but

Aprile Wenke

Courtyard in the day and then D floor at night. All your occasions are covered at the Bero

Lageritas... where else but The Beresford ! They're awesome when made right... need that sweet stuff and a good stir!

Yasmine Schillebeeckx

$5 cider and beer happy hour on Friday! But front bar is incredibly slow when busy (15min, seriously?).

Peter Uren

Better than any dance floor on oxford.

Kimberley Ramplin

Keep an eye on your valuables, peeps - my wallet was stolen early Sat. evening.

Jo Sabin

Try the Steamed Snapper With Canniolini & Corn - Fresh and light. Yum!

I've heard bar personnel moves at a glacial pace, but I got served quite quickly considering it's Friday night.

Damo Pashby

Take a look around - See Loz, the Emo in the corner with the red fringe. Just tell her your famous and you’re in!Eaaaasy...

Ms Julz

what a sausage fest on sat'day nite! Beer garden worth a look when not raining, plus it's gay-friendly environment

Matt Gierhart

best drinks garden and a dance floor above for the afterparty

Virginia Gordon

Cheese platters have the most intereting cheeses which change..last time with magical fresh honeycomb

Mike Bainbridge

Maybe it's a bad night but the bar smells of sour beer and the Coopers is off. The batman disagrees but I have been drinking beer a lot longer than him

Donna Gow

If you like dessert don't try the chocolate mousse you could get better at coles!

Matt Rowles

It's good, but don't go upstairs after 10pm, it's not worth the shellacking you get from seńor personal space obliviouso's

Jos Jones

Good beer garden 🍻

onceuponafoodie

The seafood 's fresh and the chips are better than maccas'
