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

Friendly owners, great atmosphere, unique beers and wines – Knew the owners from their upper east side spot, Ship of Fools, but The Australian is head and shoulders better than that bar! Amazing menu (can be expensive, but the appetizer tasting platter is a great deal and includes my favorite snapper/crab cigars and the sticky prawns!), excellent beer selection, top-notch wines (not your regular bar vino selection, that's for sure) friendly staff, and always plenty of aussie AND american sports. They always put on the baseba... read more
Good location, not australian – I'm Australian and I went there hoping the bar would have an australian feel to it being owned by a previous manly rugby league player but instead of showing cricket they were showing college football. They have Aussie beer and food but for the Australian feel I would head somewhere else.
Great Food,Good Beer – What a great place for some good Aussie tucker. Staff are friendly, quick to get a beer, food is sensational. What more could you ask for.
The best mix of people – I've finally found an after-work/ upscale sports bar that I love. It's sophisticated, lively, and unpretentious. The vibe is spot-on. It's always brimming with people, and what a mix of patrons they are. From the midtown afterwork crowd, to the fashion crowd, and of course sports lovers of all stripes. The owners are unbelievably friendly and attentive! No matter how busy they are, they always stop to say hello, and they always find you a table. And the food!--who would think you'd find gourmet-level... read more
Great ambiance, good food, pleasant staff – Yes, we did eat kangaroo. At $14, the small skewers of Kangaroo Satay turned were about $3 a bite. Not bad, but more the thrill of munching on the critters, than the actual taste. The other food was good, but not outstanding. The ambiance was terrific. The maitre'd and staff let us move furniture... no, they moved it for us! The waitress was Jennette on the spot. Fellow diners put up with our constant intrusions. It's a great place to meet people, or go with a large group. The main... read more
Good Times... Aussie Style – I walked by The Australian with a group of friends one Saturday evening and decided to drop in for a quick drink and a small bite. We were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. We took the bartenders word for it and ordered the Aussie beer Blue Tongue. GREAT BEER! While waiting for our second round we scoped out the menu. Interesting collection of items....the tasting platter was incredible; a true variety of flavors. The side of marinated mushrooms was a great trea... read more
Really awesome experience! Great place! – This place is fun from the second you walk in. The staff are really friendly and welcoming - excellent service. The Aussie beer selection is fantastic and the food is unbelievable! Definitely get the salt and pepper calamari. The meat pies are extraordinary! The atmosphere captures the Aussie laid-back style. This is now a favorite!
Midtown is no longer a proverbial desert outback for Aussie-styled fun. – Coopers Red and kangaroo skewers catch a rogue wave into midtown at this Aussie-themed gastropub. The Australian has all the down under drink staples you'd expect like James Boag's and Barossa Valley Shiraz, plus a full menu of comfort food, from meat pies to burgers with fresh beets and fried eggs. A formal sit-down area with white tablecloth banquettes anchors the back area, but rugby and cricket fans may prefer to nosh at the long, wooden bar, which... read more
