St James - Sydney

I have noticed this place from time to time across from David Jones, and today I needed food... Now! I finally took time to look at the menu and I was...

My friend suggested this place for a quick bite before the cinemas on Tuesday. Its a cool little pub with three floors, we just stayed on the main one....

Handily located on the edge of the Pitt St mall, The St James Hotel is where I go for sustenance in the form of both food and alcohol when I'm shopped out....

One of my favorite spots in the City, this restaurant is always reliable and cozy. Located right next door to the Sheraton on the Park Hotel at the entrance on Castlereagh Street, it offers typical pub food that is both affordable and satisfying. The steaks and chicken dishes are particularly good deals, especially during lunch time when they often come with a complimentary drink for under $15, sometimes even as low as $12. You can choose to dine upstairs or downstairs from the bar, with the upstairs lounge area offering a nice seating option. The entry level can feel a bit cold in winter with its tiled floor and noise level, so I recommend dining downstairs and then heading up to the quieter third floor for a peaceful drink.

The lunch portions are generous, the chicken schnitzels are delicious, and I highly recommend trying their special chicken and leek pie - it was extremely flavorful. The staff is efficient and knowledgeable about the drinks menu.
