See You in Court
With the team from The Courty, Australia Street, Newtown
There are few things more Newtown than an afternoon spent at The Courty. Sitting proudly on Australia Street just off Enmore Road, the Courthouse Hotel has been a local favourite for decades, loved for its laid-back atmosphere, cold beer and leafy courtyard that catches the afternoon sun perfectly. It is the kind of pub where time slows down and every table holds a story or two.
The courtyard is the heart of The Courty. Beneath the shade of trees and strings of lights, it fills with laughter, clinking glasses and a few friendly dogs stretched out underfoot. On any sunny day, you will find mates gathered over a Young Henrys Newtowner or one of the bar’s easy-drinking cocktails, swapping stories as the afternoon rolls on. It is a space that feels alive and familiar, the beating heart of Newtown’s social scene.
The Courty’s connection to the local community runs deep. Each year, the pub joins forces with its friends at Young Henrys to host the Eliza Street Party, a celebration of everything the Inner West stands for. There is live music, great food, good beer and that unmistakable sense of local pride that brings everyone together.
When it comes to food, The Courty keeps it simple and satisfying. The nachos are legendary, stacked high with corn chips, melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños. Choose from chilli beef, black bean and tomato or smoky BBQ pork, or go all in with the Can O’ Nachos for a bit of tableside theatre. Beyond the nachos, you will find pub favourites that hit the spot every time, including schnitzels, fish and chips, burgers, prawn tacos and crispy zucchini flowers. Every plate is generous, fresh and designed to pair perfectly with an icy beer.
The Courty is more than a pub. It is a Newtown institution, a place where locals and visitors mingle easily, where the beer is cold, the food is comforting and the vibe is always easy-going. Whether you are catching the afternoon light, sharing nachos with mates or winding down after a long week, The Courty captures the spirit of Newtown: warm, social and full of life.
