Book NowAbout The Lord Gladstone Hotel
Chippendale’s Lord Gladstone Hotel ditches pokie machines for live independent bands, graffiti-splattered walls, and cold schooners. Known to regulars as 'the Gladdy,' this multi-level community hub buzzes with unpretentious creative energy. Up front and in the open back courtyard, four-legged companions lounge beside wooden tables while patrons share rounds of the house Gladdy Lager. Regulars make a beeline for the kitchen counters: chicken schnitzels with creamy mushroom gravy, hefty cheeseburgers, and crisp crinkle-cut fries tossed in an addictive house salt blend. Upstairs art exhibits easily bleed into loud evening DJ sets, creating an effortless neighborhood hideaway where afternoons drift naturally into late-night rock gigs.
- Creative Arts & Music Haven: An independent community pub featuring an upstairs art exhibition space, vibrant street art, and zero poker machines.
- Dog-Friendly Courtyard: Hosts an open, graffiti-lined courtyard where locals gather casually with four-legged companions.
- Comforting Pub Classics: Serves classic counter meals including house burgers, crisp chicken schnitzels, and crinkle-cut fries seasoned in a signature salt blend.

Kelvin Ong Hearty Burgers Crafted Without Shortcuts
House burgers arrive dripping with classic ingredients, properly melted cheese, and crisp seasoned fries.
A good bun that’s not too sweet, red onion, pickle, a great patty juicy enough to drip a little but not drop any of the contents, SO cheesy

Reliable, hearty counter classics to fuel your night out
Chicken Schnitzel
The Chicken Schnitzel is decent size well seasoned, fries are hot and crispy with a nice creamy slaw and the mushroom sauce is never enough for me as I want to dip the whole Schnitzel into the sauce.
Kelvin Ong Triple Cheeseburger
So I had the Triple Cheeseburger here a little while ago, and it was sooo good. I didn’t know if I just had a great night out or the burger really was that good.
Tamm Sjödin Steak
All the food was pretty solid. I would like to note that the steak was listed as a porterhouse on the menu, but as you can see from the pic is likely a NY strip.

Before you head over
Practical advice for navigating accessibility, live gig volumes, and dietary options
Accessibility and Layout
With multiple levels, split indoor/outdoor areas, steps, and limited side-street parking, visitors with mobility requirements or prams can plan to grab a spot in the outdoor courtyard directly.
Live Music Volume
Live music gigs and band sets indoors can get very loud; if you are sensitive to sound or prefer easier conversation, head out to the courtyard tables.
Dietary and Coeliac Notes
The kitchen offers vegan and vegetarian choices alongside gluten-free items, though staff note they cannot guarantee strict coeliac safety.
