About The Bat & Ball Hotel

This Redfern corner pub pairs loaded counter meals with an easy neighborhood pulse. Regulars pack the tables for the Sunday roast—served with towering Yorkshire puddings, potato gratin, and roast carrots—or drop by on Thursdays for the twenty-dollar steak paired with rich Diane sauce. An attached bottle shop lets you pluck a bottle of natural wine straight from the shelf to uncork at the table, while the back room keeps the competition honest over games of pool and darts.

  • Sunday roast feasts: Generous plates of beef, roast chook, or vegetarian mains arrive piled with Yorkshire puddings, root veg, and potato gratin.
  • Daily counter specials: A rotating calendar features twenty-dollar Thursday steaks, midweek pasta plates, and dollar wings.
  • Bottle shop corkage: Browse low-intervention labels in the attached bottle shop to drink on-site for a modest corkage fee.
