Surly's American Tavern

Smack in the bustling heart of Surry Hills. Surly’s American Tavern delivers a serious dose of retro-chic dive-bar energy. Sydney’s carnivore crowd points straight to this spot for legitimate, low-and-slow American BBQ. Think generous platters piled high with smoked pork, snappy sausages, and sticky wings. The undisputed heavyweight champion? That beef brisket. Tender, deeply savory, sporting a proper smoke ring. Pair it with a side of downright addictive mac and cheese—so good you’ll immediately order a second round. Barbecue purists make a beeline for the taps, pouring a killer rotation of independent local froths and hard-to-find US drops. Loud. Casual. Immaculate hospitality. Grab a bourbon on the rocks, sink into the vibrant atmosphere, and gear up for an unapologetically messy feast.
