Excellent Pub Food at The Office Sports Bar Sydney CBD

If you’re in Sydney CBD and craving classic pub grub with a side of live sports on massive screens, The Office Hotel on the corner of Kent and Erskine Streets is a winner. Just a quick 5-minute walk from Wynyard Station (or even closer to Town Hall), this multi-level sports bar and bistro delivers solid, satisfying food in a lively atmosphere — perfect for lunch, dinner, or watching the game.

Downstairs is the buzzing sports bar with huge TVs blasting UFC, NBA, NFL, NRL, AFL, A-League, Formula 1 — basically anything live. Upstairs is the more relaxed bistro area where the food shines. I’ve been making my way through their menu, and while there’s still plenty left to try, here’s what stands out so far (prices as of early 2026).

Standout Dishes

• Chicken Burger ($24)
  This is the clear winner so far. Buttermilk-fried chicken breast, American cheese, chilli mayo, crisp lettuce, pickles, all on a sesame seed bun. Juicy, crispy, perfectly balanced — one of the best chicken burgers I’ve had in Sydney CBD.
• Beef Brisket Tacos (Monday Lunch Special $18)
  Not Taco Tuesday, but Taco Monday delivered. Three soft flour tortillas stuffed with tender, flavorful beef brisket, fresh salsa, and all the fixings. Spicy, satisfying, and great value — made me rethink why I don’t eat more tacos.
• Steak Sandwich
  Classic pub comfort done right: tender rump steak, caramelised onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bourbon BBQ sauce, and honey mustard mayo on toasted sourdough. Hearty, messy in the best way, and full of flavor.
• Chicken Schnitzel (Wednesday Lunch Special $20)
  Thick, juicy schnitzel with a generous pile of chips. I prefer a thinner schnitty, but at $20 with that size portion, it’s unbeatable value. Solid, no-frills pub classic.

What’s Next on My List

I still have steaks, Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips, and more to try. The menu is broad enough to keep me coming back — especially with those lunch specials making it easy on the wallet.

Verdict

The Office Hotel isn’t flashy or gourmet, but it nails what a good pub should: generous portions, high-quality ingredients, tasty comfort food, and a great spot to watch sport. Prices are fair for CBD, service is friendly, and the upstairs bistro feels relaxed yet lively. If you’re near Wynyard or Town Hall and want a proper pub feed, head to The Office — you won’t be disappointed.
