Call to reserve

A classic Irish alehouse on Charlotte Street in Sydney with nightly trad sessions and hearty pub fare. The Old Triangle is the kind of room where the music spills onto the sidewalk and a stranger ends up at your table by closing time.

What to expect

  • Wood, brass, and a long bar — proper Irish-pub bones
  • Live trad music most nights of the week
  • Pub fare with a few standout dishes (curry, fish and chips)
  • A loyal local crowd plus visitors who heard the music from outside

Don't miss

  • Tuesday or weekend trad sessions when the players are at it
  • A pint of Guinness and a curry chips
  • The Sunday roast when it's on

Good to know

  • Open year-round, late nights on weekends
  • Family-friendly until the music starts heating up
  • Wheelchair accessible main floor
  • On-street parking nearby

Pair it with

  • Dinner at Flavor on the Water beforehand
  • A walk to the Big Fiddle on the boardwalk
  • A morning at the Eltuek Arts Centre
