4 Pines Beer & Burger Bar, Surry Hills

4 Pines put a strong focus on the hospitality arm of their business. That’s clear to see at their Beer & Burger Bar in Surry Hills.

4 Pines beers, particularly their Pale Ale and Draught (formerly known as Kolsch), have infiltrated pubs around Sydney but now their hospitality offering is growing as it spreads from the North Shore to Surry Hills.

The Surry Hills Beer & Burger Bar follows on the back of some extremely Instagrammable burgers coming out of their Brookvale HQ.

4 Pines Hospitality

As 4 Pines are putting increased focus on their hospitality offering it’s no surprise that there’s a warm welcome, insightful beer knowledge and attentive service waiting for you at 4 Pines Surry Hills.

The aesthetic will be familiar to anyone who has visited the original Manly brew pub (which at the time of writing is up for sale). It’s all exposed wood, stencil prints and 50 litre kegs.

There are a handful of taps pouring mostly core range beers with one or two seasonal Keller Door releases. This is your chance to try something new and pick the brains of the well-trained bar staff. They’ll certainly tell you a bit about the beer and are very capable of tailoring their conversation to your level of beer knowledge.

Take a peak behind the bar and you’ll see a fridge full of soft drinks and some other core range and Keller Door beers. This is where you might find tinnies of their In Season IPA or Stout.

Whether you lean towards the more esoteric beers or the straight up core range, they’ll all wash down a burger pretty well. Peanut crusted chicken burgers, pulled pork or juicy beef give just a hint at a burger menu that stands up to the strong competition for American-style burgers that’s around the area.

Bar-Restaurant

It’s a bar-restaurant in the traditional sense but depending on what time you visit it’ll either be more bar or more restaurant. Visit on a weekend afternoon and you’ll be alongside a mix of people popping in for a bite to eat before dashing out to the shops, and those that are on a bit of session.

As you’d expect the venue welcomes all types of customers. And the strength of 4 Pines’ hospitality is on show.
