Book Direct with the Owner at A Friend In Hand in Glebe with Casino Accommodation for all your restaurant and entertainment needs.
Glebe's oldest hotel, The Friend In Hand Hotel is without a doubt, the best pub in Sydney!
Just a short walk down Cowper Street from Broadway and Glebe Pt Road, The Friend in Hand looks from the outside like many other Art-Deco era pubs … is hard to find but worth the effort! Step inside, though, and what you’re confronted with is something completely other… “More a Museum, than a pub”! nick-Knacks and memorabilia cram every available space through the front bar, from surf-skis to model aeroplanes and signs clearly lifted from medical establishments, photographs, oil paintings and oddments fill the entire bar. In the corner is a bird (not a 2 legged one) … It’s George the Sulphur crested Cockatoo who is the pubs PR Bird! George rules the roost at this backstreet Glebe pub.
When George isn’t waddling up and down the bar ruffling his feathers and cracking open lemon seeds or resting on the shoulders of the pub’s regulars, he’s got his own massive branch to perch on in the corner of the room. The Friend in Hand is the original Sydney bar – there are more taxidermied animal heads, old street signs and countless other bits of weirdness than you can point a stick at.
