Newmarket Hotel

Right on Botany Road. Expansive footprint, modern-rustic energy. The Newmarket is a masterclass in elevated Aussie pub culture. Massive beer garden out back. Wall-to-wall screens for the footy. The word around Mascot is that the kitchen absolutely punches above its weight. Two roaring wood-fired ovens churning out blistered, top-tier pizzas with genuine pizzaiolo flair. Those who know the drill always point to the legendary Newy burger, the salt and pepper calamari, or a massive ribeye sporting a flawless charred crust and runny fried eggs. Thirsty punters consistently flag the bar's surprisingly sharp cocktail game—picture beautifully garnished spicy margs pouring alongside cold schooners of Stone & Wood Pacific Ale on tap. Heaps of space for the whole family. Down-to-earth crew. You’ll even catch the licensee working the floor on a buzzing Friday night. Crisp pints, killer food, zero pretension.
