The Bank Hotel in Newtown is a beloved watering hole for many in the inner west. Inside is Uncle Hops, a dedicated beer bar pouring local brewers such as Young Henrys and Willie the Boatman.

It’s a spot where patrons can feel at home, with its old-worldly, fun vibe. You can learn more about beer from the bar staff and enjoy vinyl on the weekend. Along with the 12 craft beers on tap (plus a hand pump), there’s Beer-tails (beer-cocktail hybrids), barrel-aged spirits and Boilermakers.

Of course a beer also demands that perfect partner, something juicy, salty and delicious. At Uncle Hops, you’ll find pork scratchings, beef jerky, duck sausage rolls and a range of mouthwatering sliders.
