Book NowAbout Waterworks Hotel
A dependable Botany corner pub dishing up crisp schnitzels, weekly steak specials, and wood-fired pizzas with a distinct Greek bistro lean. The kitchen fires up charred peri-peri pies alongside tender souvlaki skewers, garlic sauce, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder—a sharp turn from standard counter grub. Botany locals drop in for an unhurried family feed or Friday rounds at the bar, watching the footy over cold schooners. Thick hand-crumbed chicken cuts crunch alongside hot chips, followed by house beef ragu or a charred 400g T-bone straight off the grill.
- Wood-Fired Pizza Oven: Freshly stretched dough baked directly on the hearth, from peri-peri bases to classic bistro orders.
- Greek Bistro Edge: Skewered tender souvlaki, Greek salads, and slow-roasted lamb shoulder enrich traditional counter meals.
- Generous Daily Feeds: Reliable value across the week, including steak nights and lunch specials that keep Botany regulars returning.
