JaneFebruary 28, 2014Service is SO good. We went to the Wild Rover for my husband's bday and they were so great - very attentive, delicious drinks and even a surprise bday shot. Our new favorite bar!
BarChickAugust 19, 2013The vibe here is about as laid back and cheery as it gets, but a word of warning, the loo upstairs is marked with the word trough. Just sayin’ http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/sydney/the-wild-rover- Dennis LeFebruary 21, 2015You'll likely miss the door, but it's worth stumbling into the lively atmosphere & tasty cocktails inside. Excellent service, quirky interiors & live music. Try Veronica Vaughn for something punchy.
John BoothJuly 13, 2015Hidden behind a non descript door is an awesome bar. Feels like a funky pub, serves excellent cocktails.
Elliot ChanceJuly 27, 2015A hard place to find if you haven't been here before. But a good find. Lots of selections for beer and whiskey.
- Sean Leo RyanDecember 5, 2014Hidden gem, awesome friendly bartenders, nice after dinner spot from Nomad or Longrain
Love the wallpaper. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. The copper cups keep the beer super cold. Order the Hell's Kitchen Martini!! And say hi to warren, James and Kim.
bounce between whiskey and beer, something different each time, and you can't go wrong
Amy PakJune 10, 2017Fun bar and bartenders, very cosy but lively at the same time! Good selection of whisky
Adam HargroveAugust 2, 2013Super rad bar. Really friendly staff, great selection of beers, spirits, wine and cocktails. Great atmosphere.
Sarah CaveJuly 4, 2013Commendable cocktails. Weeski is a delectable orange liqueur / whiskey confection with a French twist.
P PPJuly 5, 2014I love their craft beer. Dad 'n Dave! Good music on Sunday! Come early to grab a seat!
George WestcottMarch 1, 2016Great bar, awesome atmosphere and not as pretentious as some of its peers.
Simon Xuan ShenJanuary 30, 2016Music a bit loud, bar a bit slow but other than that quite a nice bar
Sam MaitlandApril 6, 2013It was 1st time having a McLaren Vale VALE/ALE out of a copper mug! Fun experience. @mvbeer
- JohnniesworldApril 15, 2013Grab a Fernet & Coke a chill out!! Don't forget to claim your hug from Kim! :)
Derek WilsonJune 9, 2015Craft beer, bushrangers and bandits. Don't say nothing about this to no one.
Excellent service, this place is brilliant. Disappointed not to receive my hug!
