summarizes
The Cricketers in Balmain is one of those rare neighbourhood pubs that genuinely feels like home. Regulars and first-timers alike rave about the friendly, attentive staff and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that's hard to fake. The food punches well above typical pub fare — from gluten-free spice bags to standout steaks and fresh calamari — while the Guinness and Kilkenny pours earn serious praise. Whether you're popping in for a midweek meal deal, watching the footy, or hosting a private function upstairs, The Cricketers consistently delivers.

I love the gluten free spice bag as well as the other gluten free options. Please never take the spice bag off the menu.
