Welcome Hotel
Editorial
This is a textbook pub. It does nothing wrong. The Murphy's (beer) is just a delight, the staff are human, and the bar menu, which includes pies to die for, is actually better than the restaurant stuff. Even the toilets, for heaven's sake, are pristine in a toiletty kind of way. Your mission, should you accept it, is to find fault (any fault, and wherever you can) with this Rozelle landmark.
Is that a speck of dust on the lacquered bar? Did the barman give you anything less than an ?Even-if-I-can't-marry-you-I'll-still-be-your-best-mate' smile? Could he have possibly squeezed one more micron of top-quality ale into your clean glass? Was your chip a smidgeon on the soggy side? Were the questions too hard on Trivia Night? (Well, yes, they were ... but then that's the whole point of trivia). What about the masterpiece of joinery which is the ceiling ?? We're really not getting anywhere with this, are we?
Perhaps it's best to concede that there are worse places in Sydney (about 5,000 and counting) and step on down and enjoy the best Rozelle has to offer in terms of beer-age, pie-age and an atmosphere of the wholesome and refreshingly un-chromed pub variety. One suspects that people move to Rozelle not for the schools or the property advantages, but for the Welcome Hotel. It may not be completely perfect, but it's definitely giving it a go.
