About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
THE UNICORN HOTEL IN PADDINGTON IS A PROUD BOILING BILLY OF AUSSIE WINE, BEER, MUSIC, ART, FOOD AND CONVERSATION.

The first beer was poured at the Unicorn Hotel, Paddington, in 1941, after a rebuild of the Croft’s Family Hotel, which had stood on the site since the mid 1800’s. After many years of service to the locals of Paddington, the Unicorn Hotel is now owned by a ratbag crew of mates from some of Sydney’s most iconic hospitality names Porteno, Mary’s and Young Henrys. We look forward to pouring you a beer soon.

    The Unicorn is the best pub in Paddington. Fabulous, well-priced pub food. Good service.

    I had the steak and it was so delicious! I loved that you got to pick two large sides. The bartender was also super helpful at helping me pick out a wine. Highly recommend for a fun take on a pub.

    There appeared to be inconsistency in COVID related regulations. We felt like we were school children being chastised if we stood up and yet we saw blatant examples of massive group standing up and hugging. I think their approach to regulation adherence should be soft. They assume that their customers have all the context and don't go out of their way to provide it kindly.

    Great spot with excellent choice of beers (especially Suds, Mary’s own beer). Unfortunately, the Mary’s Burger was not as good as we have had in the past (six months + ago) which sort of compounded our disappointment as our expectations were so high).
