Marrickville

Lifestyle

Marrickville is a multicultural melting pot and hub to an eclectic mix of down to earth and community minded people. Here in this inner west hub, individuals of all cultural backgrounds and ages come together to create a thriving atmosphere.

Coffee snobs will love the lineup of great cafes that have popped up in the area. Younger residents get to continue playing after dark at the nightclub on Victoria Rd, and for those looking for a quiet drink or family friendly pub, the recently renovated Royal Exchange Hotel has scrubbed up quite nicely.

Eating out will never get boring in Marrickville with a fabulous smorgasbord of Japanese, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Vietnamese including Bay Tinh, touted the best Vietnamese Restaurant in Sydney.

What Marrickville lacks in looks, it sure makes up for it with fabulous amenities and a great community feel.
