White Cockatoo Hotel
The White Cockatoo Hotel is a pub and restaurant in Petersham in Sydney's Inner West with two leafy courtyards and a dining room serving simple pub food alongside craft beers and wines. The bar features pool and pinball machines, and the venue also offers 20 rooms for overnight guests.
The hotel has stood in Petersham since 1886 and has been a recognized spot in the neighborhood ever since. Over decades, memories have accumulated there, and today it is run by the same team that operates the Sydney Park Hotel in Newtown.
The White Cockatoo Hotel has become a gathering place in Petersham where neighbors come together to spend time and share everyday moments. The two leafy courtyards and the front bar with games create spaces for different kinds of meetings, from relaxed drinks to lively conversations among friends.
The hotel is pet-friendly, so visitors can bring their dogs, and it is well-suited for groups and families with plenty of outdoor seating space. The kitchen operates from midday until late evening, making it a convenient spot for meals or drinks at any time of day.
The pub runs pint parties on Monday nights where all drinks are served in larger glasses, and a popular Friday tradition is a free meat raffle for members. These regular events draw regulars and create reasons for the community to gather together.
