I’m new to the area and this is my first time to the bar, and am so glad we came! We ordered cocktails and some bar snacks. The arancini and hot chips were yummy and the cocktails delicious. Even better the service! The staff were efficient, friendly and attentive and the vibe was really relaxed with great music. Can’t wait to come back !

We found this park by accident and ended up spending the afternoon there. Secluded at the end of cul de sac with a beautiful views over the harbour and several picnic spots. Ancient old trees and interesting information plaques scattered throughout the park acknowledging the first nation people and their life in the area. You can get there by ferry as there is a designated platform, also a free small car park if you chose to drive there.

We did this walk in two sections on different days at a leisurely pace. It is a very scenic walk that takes you past many areas of historical interest. We enjoyed the reminders of Tom Uren's life and his many contributions to the local area and further afield. The maritime heritage of Balmain was of particular interest and we loved the narrow, half-hidden streets that we were led down. The variety of architectural styles in the area was delightful. The walk is indicated by timber posts with a carving of Tom's hat on top. While this generally worked well, there were times when we felt that more guidance would have been useful. Be sure to photograph the map of the route and you won't go wrong. If you would like to explore Balmain this is an ideal way to do so.
