The Henson Park Hotel Reviews

The food was tasty but took a very long time to arrive. Finding street parking close by was difficult.

Sad what use to be such an Awesome Pub puts Kids before Adults now The Village has gone for good RIP Henson Park Hotel

Great for kids, reasonably good for dogs, bloody fantastic for parents.

Good selection of beers, and good pub food with the standard offerings.

Top Bloke -Barman ran down the street after me to return my wallet that I had fallen out of my pocket and was found under my chair. Tried to tip him and he declined. Above and beyond...

Cheers Bro.

Friendly pub with great food and a good range of beers

This rating is for the good range of beers and one of the best pinball rooms in Sydney all machines excellent condition.

Great atmosphere, options for indoor or outdoor seating. Food is good, I personally loves the Knuckle Burger. Beer is not cheap, but not terribly expensive. Overall very nice place, I'll surely be back.

Great family atmosphere and service. Very kid friendly.

You would never describe this place as 'Laid Back', as their title suggests. Its busy, hectic and has so many rules. I understand that you need certain procedures in place when it comes to ordering but these guys allow for no changes whatsoever and the couple of times I have been there my order has been incorrect and taken forever to arrive. There are many more 'laid back' pubs around the area, try one of those instead.

Great food, has a great bottleshop with a variety of gourmet cheeses and meats

Love this place. Iconic old pub. It's been going in its current guise for a few years now as a relatively hip, family friendly food and beverage place but still seems fresh and there is always a good vibe about the place

Great pub with an excellent bistro, but a victim of its success--can get overcrowded on weekends. Dog friendly. Child friendly. Order the karage chicken burger... its one of the best chicken burgers in the innerwest.

Great food and drinks. Bottleshop/ deli small but wonderfully quirky selection.

Food is slightly overpriced, there's tonnes of kids and no smoking area, but great craft beer range and the bottle shop is awesome

A great all rounder pub. Classic Aussie front bar, lovely garden outside area and a cool and casual dining area serving quality food with fantastic beers on tap. A well thought out space.

Great service, Amazing menu and Serpent's Kiss on tap. Can't stop coming back.

Nice pub. Good food. Family and dog friendly atmosphere

Food is unfortunately just ok. Otherwise great local pub

Great place, awesome area for kids, food was amazing.

Down fall is spirit selection. But made up for it with the sauce collection. There's a reason. It's busy. Good food. Good location. Great head chef

Great food, tasty craft beer selection, primo bloody Mary's and even a week stocked deli and bottle-o.

Nice food, nice sounds and a nice kids play area to boot.
Very nice indeed.

Great food, awesome play area for kids. Friendly staff. It does get busy so best to book a table or visit during the week

Seriously? Would not add egg to my burger. It's not that complicated my friends. Last visit I'm afraid.

great pub with interesting and varied menu. fun play area for the kids so the adults can have a quiet drink.

Great casual pub but don't sit next to the kid's play room unless you want to be bombarded with plastic balls!

A wonderful courtyard, with a kids' playroom resembles a fabulous treehouse - perfect for little kids and big ones. Great food options, with so much choice!

Great local pub for families with kids. Management are hands on and customer focused. Great food too.

Great outdoor area with child play area and great food

Good relaxing atmosphere, great place to catch up with friends have a beer and some good food.

Excellent Marrickville pub. It's got something for everyone: you can bring your kids and dogs; the food is top notch; the beer garden is great for chilling in the sun; the staff are pretty cool.

Best of all are the beers - always a great selection of craft and local beers on rotation - there are new ones every time I go back!

No record of our booking for 9 people so table found in a cold bland room. Food arrived quickly and was satisfactory but not great.

Fab for families on the weekend though gets really busy so advisable to book. Can be really noisy if you are inside during the peak times.

This is a great pub but the atmosphere is of a bistro not a pub full of families with kids not ideal when you want to relax and have a drink maybe i just went at a bad time...

Pretty popular some time the doorman don't let u in so dont6 be disappointed

Pork belly burger with Siracha con mayo was yum. Girl in bottle-o also nice

The food was okay but drinks and atmosphere is nice.

I ve been here with my friends and I ve ordered the cheese & meat board. Even if it seems the easier one to make, I ve waited long time before to be served, and I was the only one without food for a while.
I ve tasted my friend dishes and they where not that tasty.
The place is quite big, they also have an area with tables outside.
It s good for groups of people, but not exactly my type of place.

This place is a great local. Amazing sustainable food and a brilliant selection of local beers.

Interesting range of beers. The Porter was good as was the sirloin. Lots of choices of garnish but it took me 10 mins to find the only pepper grinder. They do slurpies but not coffee but the take away coffee from across the road was expertly made by friendly staff - a few things to fix there to lift the mark above 3

Good pub with good food. There is a good selection of food and there is even a playroom for the kids.

One of the better daycare centres in Sydney. Serves beer here too which is a bonus.

Amazing food, very family friendly and the best beer garden in the inner west.

Nice local pub with a pleasant atmosphere. The only downfall is overpriced food.

The old Henson Park Hotel. Good selection of beer and good food. It's nice that they kept the front bar pretty much as is so the old locals can still enjoy the place.

Big family friendly pub with decent beer selection, just down the road from my bestie so location works for me...

Went for trivia on Wednesday night. Great food at decent prices but it was way too crowded and hard to navigate because of the set up of the tables. Long lines at the bar because of how many people were there.

Great food. Lots of craft beer. Good vibe. Often quite busy.

The Henson offers great food. It looks like a typical Aussie pub from the outside but they've split the pub and the dining areas so they can offer a unique dining experience for families. Very family friendly - we were there on a Friday evening and the place was crawling with kids running around and a few dogs roaming about (with leashes of course).

The burgers were a little pricey at $17 but unique enough to make the journey for my friends and I a worthwhile experience. It's a bit out of the way though, about 15 minutes walk from Marrickville station. I had the Pork Belly Burger (not a great choice) which was a bit "bready" but the Knuckle Sandwich with the wagyu brisket and melted swiss cheese was perfect.

Great Vibe, good staff and large selection of local beers! There is a large coutyard that gets filled quickly. Dog friendly, plus a ball pit.
The price of food can be a bit on the $$ side. But the quality is always worth it!

I've tried to give the Henson a couple of chances but the kitchen's lack of flexibility with the menu is frustrating. A while ago I asked my egg to be cooked well and the waitress said "the chef cooks it how he cooks it" More recently due to dietary requirements, I asked to substitute a bun with sesame seeds to one without and they would not, offering their GF tortilla instead. It's also very kid friendly and not in the good way. Plenty of places in the Inner West these days to try instead.

Great line of beers, delicious and interesting food and a fun atmosphere

Quality food and good place for the kids to play in while the oldies chat. Spin on the apple pie desert was tasty and loaded. Will be back for other choices.

Lots of family's with off spring of all ages. Safe and friendly.

Well I was deeply disappointed with the lack of monkeys

Highly recommend. Went with a big group and the staff were super friendly and looked after us all night. Sometimes Inner West pubs have staff who are too cool for school, but not the Henson! Give it a try.

Delicious eats great for family and friends on a Sunday afternoon

Good spot for families with kids and dog owners. Loved the kids playground and live music. Relaxed atmosphere and good bar food.

Had the steak with salad and chips. All good. Bitters lime and soda with real lime was a lively and pleasurable surprise to the taste buds.

Very good food & service, a little crowded, but great place

Food was awesome and service was top notch, well done to the Henson Hotel

Very nice beer garden at the back. Great atmosphere and food.

Great selection of beers nice food and play space for kids = lovely family pub

Overall worth your time and money. Can get a bit crowded and parking is not ideal but this shouldn t put you off. Family friendly with a small playground in the outdoor space

The food is great and the staff are amazing. Very nice atmosphere

Enjoyed the feed and option of craft beer. Definitely come back for the atmosphere and food!

Came here on a wet Sunday lunch time and ordered the salmon, and the rump steak dish. The green veges on the rump steak seemed a little overcook as it was lacking vibrant colour, was pale. Other than that, everything else was cooked well and very tasty. This place was designed for kids - spacious, parents room, ball pit (which was closed due to the rain but I have heard it's like a suicide pit as parents dump their kids of all ages there for a drink...so if u have small ones, u need to look after them or they will get trampled and pushed around), kids menu, and loud...a bit too loud. At least if u have a crying baby no one will hear it!

Amazing food and cocktails- like the beer garden and the kids space.

Great beer garden that allows well behaved dogs on leads. Food is good and beer better

Great pub energy and the staff are working hard to keep things in check during covid whilst also supporting their customers. Felt very welcome - and definitely recommend the truffle fries!

Great range of gluten free food, almost 3/4 of the menu!

it's a nice place, set up to handle kids, so great for family meet ups and stuff. good range of beers, and the food is generally on. the only issue I have is the massive lack of vegetarian options in the kids menu.
