The Grand National Hotel 161 Underwood StreetPaddington NSW 2021

The Grand National is a quiet pub only a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, Paddington.
The pub has a relaxed aura as most are locals and the size of the crowd can vary depending on what sporting event is showing but you can always be guaranteed a packed house when the Waratahs or Wallabies are playing so I suggest you get in early otherwise its standing room only.
The Grand National has a diverse and satisfying menu but I always find it hard to go past the wagyu beef burger, which is reasonably priced at $18. The quality of food is always top notch and the steaks are pretty hard to go past, too. The pub keeps the all the regular ambers on tap (but really is there anything other than Coopers?) and the wine list is selective but I'm positive everyone can find a drop to suit their palette and budget.
On this occasion I visited the Grand National on a Saturday afternoon and it was somewhat busy (probably due to the Wallabies game) but I personally enjoy the Sunday session at the pub.. (There’s just something tempting about that forbidden Sunday bender)
Overall, it's hard to go past the Grand National (literally) as it's down the road from my house!
