Commodore Hotel

Although rampant property prices and disaffected neighbours have seen many of Sydney’s best beer gardens disappear, the Terrace Beer garden at this perennial North Shore favourite continues to be incredibly popular. Packed to the rafters on most summer nights if the weather is unsuitable, the interior does have the usual sleek contemporary finishes, but it’s the Terrace with a cold beer and a group of friends that makes this venue a standout.
