What’s on the menu?

We’re open from dawn till dusk – come in early for a build-your-own-breakfast and wash it down with our local signature coffee roast from Annandale’s Blacksmith Roasters. Our share plates areperfectforgroups and includepork belly bites with an orange and cardamom glaze, and asparagus and taleggio arancini.

On Monday nights we have our 50 cent chicken wing challenge – therecordsits at 48 wings and has yet to be beaten, but if burgers and fries are more your thing you can’t go past our $12 Tuesdays. Thepork belly, red cabbage, provolone cheese and apple compote is king.

Care for a drink?

We offer Sydney’s widest range of all-Australian craft beer, cider, ginger beer, gin, whisky and wine. Choose from 30 local Australian craft beers, 36 whiskies and 25 gins. Our fridges and shelves are constantly rotating so you’ll discover a new gem every week. Our cocktail list features twists on classics with each cocktail containing at least one Australian spirit. But if there’s one signature that describes Black Penny in a glass, it would be Pirates Gold: Dead Man’s Drop spiced rum, double drip coffee liqueur and fresh Blacksmith espresso.
