Design Statement
Popular with glamorous young things and the post-work crowd, the Beresford must be one of Sydney's hippest pubs. Building on a recent renovation, Merivale has reinvigorated this space with fresh foliage, exceptional Italian bar food, and light atmosphere.
Perhaps the most lovely part of the whole venture is the courtyard, more reminiscent of a Japanese garden than your typical Aussie beer garden. Think cobblestones, Japanese maples, low wooden furniture and lanterns dangling above your head. The Beer Garden is a tranquil outdoor area where you're sure to find locals enjoying their lazy summer afternoons over a drink and great food.
