A great night of fun doesn't have to break the bank. A weekend out on the town can be expensive. Week nights however, have plenty on offer to keep the party spirit pumping. The oldest pub in Rozelle has a killer list of economical reasons to stay up late on a school night.
First opened in 1881, 3 Weeds was originally a bit of a booze bus kind of joint. Over the years, the place gained popularity in the area as one of the first pubs to screen football games. The place changed in 2005 when the huge back area of the bar was sproosed up. Since the cosy fireplace and huge chandeliers moved in, the Weeds has become an iconic landmark having picked up awards for Gastro Pub of the Year by the Australian Hotels Association and rated in the Top 10 Best Pubs in the Sydney Morning Herald's, Good Food Guide.
During the week, the pub has a $10 curry night and a trivia evening for all those brainy buffs. We headed to the Weeds on a Thursday night and found all tables in the main dining room packed out with groups taking advantage of the free pool on offer. We chose to munch on our food on massive leather lounges in one corner of the earthy toned room. The pub grub here sees fancy touches tacked on to old favourite dishes. We love the guttzyness of the fried goat's cheese. The smoked salmon salad was a colourful display of pinks, greens and whites served in a tiny dish. The steak sambos worked a treat, with a juicy tea-bone topped with the lot. The pizzas hit the spot too with the usual favourites like meat lovers and then there are the more gourmet choices like goat's cheese, Spanish sausage and cherry tomato.
If these selections don't float your boat, try one of the stranger options. I'd never heard of a pork Berger before and half expected to find rashers of bacon or perhaps slices of pork belly. It was more like a pork minced paddy with salad. The cucumber and cumin dip was another disappointment, tasting like a thick jelly. We did wash it down well with a nice bottle of red which didn't break the bank.
The 3 Weeds is a joint with cheap fun, amazing decor and top service. It epitomises all that a local pub should, comfort, a friendly smile and a warm atmosphere. A pub like this never gets old.
