Leopold Hotel

Unassuming on the outside, absolute magic on the inside. Push past the doors of the Leopold Hotel—a sprawling, lively pub anchored by plush Chesterfield lounges and killer live music. Savvy punters bypass the flashier joints for the seriously elite pub grub found here. The crowd constantly tips their hats to the flawless chicken schnitty—a masterclass in crispy, tender perfection—and the wildly generous Wednesday rump steak special. Double-header happy hours mean ice-cold pints of Swan Gold and shockingly cheap house wines flow twice daily. With electric 80s cover bands tearing through INXS anthems on Saturday nights and seamless table ordering via The Pass app, it’s a hospitality powerhouse. Proper Aussie pub culture, dialed all the way up.
