Food: the burger is definitely a top 5 New York burger. Worth a visit for sure.cheeseburger: amazing!AZ burger: just felt like too much was happening. Delicious, but the reg burger was better.Sept 2025: the mustard has improved!!!May 2025: I asked for a side of mustard and it was awful.Service is immaculate. The staff was so incredibly sweet and the vibes were awesome.Atmosphere: My only beef with this place is that it's not a great place to actually watch sports. The ceilings are too low and as a result so are the TVs, which means if you're not directly in front of the TV, you can't see the screen. - YG Chow

### What is Worth Choosing

Old Mates Pub offers a menu filled with compelling choices, but a few dishes stand out and are consistently praised by customers. The Cheeseburger is a must-try, with one review calling it a "top 5 New York burger." Its simple yet delicious execution makes it a fan favorite. While the "Aussie Burger With The Jot" is a more adventurous choice with a lot going on, the classic cheeseburger is where the pub truly shines. For those who want to experience authentic Australian pub food, the Chicken Parma is an excellent choice. This classic dish is a pub staple and at Old Mates, it's served to perfection. The Pork & Fennel Sausage Roll and the Beef Pie are also fantastic options that showcase the pub's commitment to traditional Aussie fare.

Beyond the main courses, the appetizers are not to be overlooked. The Blue Point Oysters and Oysters Kilpatrick are fresh and flavorful, a perfect way to start your meal. And for dessert, the Pavlova is a classic Australian sweet treat that provides a perfect, light finish to your meal.

But the pub's offerings extend beyond just the food. The beer selection is a major draw, with many guests praising the variety and quality of the draft beers. The pub is a great place to grab a pint and watch a game, though it's worth noting that some customers have mentioned the low-hanging TVs can make sports viewing challenging if you're not seated directly in front of one. However, the lively atmosphere and the presence of fellow sports enthusiasts more than make up for it. The trivia night is another fantastic reason to visit, offering a fun and competitive way to spend an evening. Overall, Old Mates Pub is a place that delivers on its promises: good food, great drinks, and a genuine, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel like you've found your new "local" in the big city.
