Bar Of The Week: Vic On The Park

Tell us about your bar:

The Vic On The Park is Marrickville. It’s an old-school community pub and it remembers that, with a proper front bar, great live gigs and welcoming staff.

What’s on the menu?

There is a wide range of vegetarian options, placing emphasis on local produce and a high standard of freshness. We run a large weekly rotating specials board to keep things fresh and interesting – our recommendation is currently a jerk chicken share board with jalapeño oil, wild rice salad, grilled flatbread and sriracha mayo, or pan-fried gnocchi with roasted pumpkin and sage-burnt butter, topped with shaved parmesan.

Care for a drink?

Craft beer is definitely a specialty and our spiced rum and fresh apple juice is also pretty bloody good.

Sounds:

We sound like the Inner West. We’re surrounded by rehearsal studios, live venues and dozens of great bands. We run a soundtrack that’s representative of that, covering all genres.

Highlights:

Apart from its community atmosphere, the Vic On The Park also produces bloody good food and hosts a range of creative and community events in the carpark, including massive live gigs, creative markets, dog shows and beer events – all under the flight path and fig tree.

The bill comes to:

With one of our food recommendations and a drink, expect to pay about $30.
