Meet local legend **Tim and his dad, Toby**. 🍺

Some things are clearly hereditary…

Good looks? ✅
Charisma? ✅
The ability to hold a beer and look effortlessly handsome? Absolutely. 😏

We're pretty sure Tim got all the good stuff from his dad — although we're not sure who got the better hair!

Locals make us special, and their dads make them who they are. ❤️

This Father’s Day, bring that important man in your life to The Rose.

🍽️ Sunday Roasts
🍺 $10 pints ALL DAY
🌹 Good food, cold beers & plenty of Rose hospitality

Because dads deserve more than a pair of socks.

📚❄️ A cosy winter afternoon of books, good food and great company.

We're excited to welcome the Winter Book Swap to The Rose of Australia this Sunday 19 July from 11am–1pm, upstairs on the Terrace.

At The Rose, we're passionate about being more than just a pub. We love creating a space where our community can come together—whether it's for a celebration, a local group, a workshop, or simply to connect over a shared interest.

Bring along 1–3 pre-loved books you've finished, swap them for something new to read, meet fellow book lovers, and settle in with a spritz, a long lunch or a cheeky Sunday drink while you're here.

It's a relaxed, welcoming event that's all about sharing stories, meeting neighbours and supporting the wonderful community that makes Erskineville so special.

🗓️ Sunday 19 July

Last night was all about Schooners & Scholars 🍻🧠

Think TED Talk... but with a schooner in hand. A room full of curious minds, great conversations, plenty of laughs, and maybe even a few new facts to take home. It's proof that a night out with friends can be fun and leave you learning something new.

We absolutely love hosting events that bring people together. From milestone birthdays and engagement parties to community groups, fundraisers, workshops and unique nights like this, there's always a reason to gather at The Rose.

If you've got an idea for your next event, we'd love to help bring it to life.
