Father’s Day is upon us again this Sunday September 7, and we want to see your dad (and ours) spoiled properly. Whether your old man’s an outdoorsy dad, a fashionable dad or a pub-loving dad, we’ve got you covered for ideas. And, of course, some dad-friendly musical picks to keep your Father’s Day soundtracked
1. BEERS, BURGERS AND TUNES
Venue Name: The Annandale Hotel
It’s called: Double up for Dad at the ’Dale
What to see and do: We’re for dads who love a low-key day. Come hang out in the courtyard with a burger and pint, catch some tunes late in the day and just have an all-round relaxed Sunday afternoon with the family.
What’s the vibe: Adam Pringle & Friends are kicking off the entertainment with some tunes at 3pm in the main bar. Adam’s funky country blend is the perfect soundtrack to a Sunday afternoon.
What’s the fuel: Buy your Dad a double beef burger and a pint of our promo Father’s Day craft beer for the price of just the burger. Full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu also available.
The bit Dad will thank us for: Six of Sydney’s best craft beers on tap, a fridge full of others… and did we mention the double beef burger?
Wallet damage: $17… if you can stop at just one pint.
Where and when: 17-19 Parramatta Rd Annandale. Doors open 8am, lunch starts at 12pm.
2. FOOD AND DRINK AT THE LOCAL
Venue Name: Newtown Hotel
It’s called: Father’s Day at The Animal in Newtown Hotel
What to see and do: Loads and loads of delicious coal-roasted meat from the spit and a great range of beers.
What’s the vibe: Usually ’50s, ’60s rock’n’roll/rockabilly.
What’s the fuel: Try the succulent coal-roasted lamb or the sticky beef ribs – to die for.
The bit Dad will thank us for: That you actually made it to Father’s Day and you didn’t have to leave your local to treat Dad to an awesome menu.
Wallet damage: $30 a head (depending on how much you like to drink).
Where and when: The Animal @ Newtown Hotel, 174 King St Newtown, from 12pm.
