The Annandale will return to its roots as a live music venue by featuring local and international singer songwriters, unplugged and bluegrass artists.

Executive chef , John Rankin (ex Waitan) will dish up traditional favourites such as big breakfasts and hotcakes with blueberries and maple syrup cream, as well as fancy pub fare including things like The Green Machine toasted cheese sandwich with fontina, kale and fennel butter and jerk chicken with ale cheddar, chicken sausage, jerk sauce and pickled onions. 

The Annandale Hotel is located on the corner of Nelson Street and Parramatta Road in Annandale, Sydney.
