About this business
The Australian rests in a bad Midtown location where bar names change annually. Hopefully, it will last longer. Fair dink'em. It's worth a visit when trying to avoid Times Square and looking for something different in Midtown. There are no boxing kangaroos or didgeridoos to make the Australian distinctly Australian. Rather the Aussie brews, like Cooper's, and foods, like meat pies and tiger prawns, provide the connection to the land of Oz. The long wooden bar offers ample stools, but a tight standing area when busy, so run f... read more

This was such a fun bar to go to for happy hour on a Friday!!! They had some awesome appetizers that were half off, so a friend and I split a meat pie appetizer. It came perfect with two little meat pies that we didn't have to cut in half. For dinner, we each got a different meal, so that we could experience more of the menu. There were just too many things we wanted to try. We ended up getting the curry vegetable pie, and I forget what the other meal was called, but it was lamb with roasted potatoes and veggies, with a side... read more
this is a great spot to meet up with friends who work in the area and grab an after work drink. Happy Hour here is truly Happy for me, and the Dark & Stormy is phenomenal here....I mean, truly life changing. They also serve pretty good food, your typical appetizers, and a few Australian-themed meals as well. There's an upstairs area, as well as a good amount of seating in the back, booth seating. yay!
You might know this as the Redskins bar and even if you aren't a fan you should go here. Anytime the Redskins score a TD, you get a complementary shot. Happy hour is 4PM-7PM, Monday-Friday with $4 drafts, $5 well, $5 wine or a 24oz Fosters can for $6. All very sound choices, but the happy hour bar snacks are not to be slept on. The prices are in the $5-$7 and range everything from sausage rolls to calamari. We opted for the nachos which were $6. Sour cream, guacamole, cheese, corn, carrot, sweet chili sauce made me say oh my... read more
Just ok – Large place; not too loud. Good prices for happy hour. Waitress could have been more friendly. Biggest disappointment....the 4 pieces of rubbery calamari.
worst place in newyork – this place gives australia a bad name the manager was the rudest person we met in the usa wish we never went there.
Stay Far Away – I used to love this place, but I just ate there and it was horrible. My burger was way overcooked and my wife' s food arrived cold--not even room temperature--but actually cold. They reheated her food (not giving her a new dish, just microwaved what she'd already bit into) but it was still not warm. Just awful.
A must try! You will be hooked! – I just wanted to give a shout out to The Australian! I have been going to the Australian since its opening 3 years ago. Not only is the food amazing and the staff very friendly, but the owner Matt goes above & beyond. Usually the owner of a restaurant is no where to be found, but Matt is consistently interacting with his guests and making sure everyone is well taken care of. When he isn’t working hard at the restaurant, he also dedicates his time to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, servin... read more
THE after work bar - great wine, great food, great crowd – I've been going to The Australian since the first day it opened it's doors 3 years ago, and it continues to be one of my favourite after work bars. The staff are always friendly - and Matt, you rock, don't know what that last review was thinking (perhaps they bid for you in the auction and got knocked out?). The patrons likewise are generally chatty and a great group to network with or build camaraderie over the latest sporting event gracing the many large TV screens... read more
Great atmosphere and food, but owner needs a new personality – I used to go to the australian constantly and thought the staff were superb, but the owner Matt really has a very poor and obnoxious personality, and I finally decided to go elsewhere since I like to spend my hard earned cash somewhere its appreciated. Other friends of mine (who are even australian) have mentioned the same experience with him If he wants more business he should learn how to be friendlier.
