About The Native Rose Hotel

This Rozelle local pairs independent craft taps and live weekend sets with easy parkside downtime—completely ditching the standard pokie blueprint. Behind the bar, tap lines skip major commercial contracts for indie craft brews and tasting paddles. Regulars point to the unpretentious community energy: weekend comedy and live bands draw sing-alongs, while kids and dogs drift between outdoor seating and the park next door. Tables fill for chicken schnitzel, burgers, and Sunday brisket roasts piled with vegetables.

  • Live Entertainment & Comedy: Weekend lineups feature live music, comedy shows, and trivia nights in a gaming-free setting.
  • Parkside & Dog-Friendly: Welcomes dogs and families with outdoor seating set directly beside the adjacent neighbourhood park.
  • Independent Craft Taps: Pours all independently owned craft beer across the taps, offering tasting paddles and local ales.
