The Venue

The Rose of Australia is an Erskineville institution. Owned and operated by the Leach Family for over 25 years, this is a pub run by a local family for the local community. A place you can meet and know the publican. Howard's Cantina is located on the first floor of the Rose of Australia Hotel. The Cantina has a casual atmosphere with contemporary design that makes the space perfect for catching up with friends or celebrating special moments. With a mix of covered outdoor seating and inside space there you'll be spoilt for choice to set your own vibe.

- Over 95% receive a mutual match

- You can contact other people on CitySwoon that you didn't date too
- Over 8 years of experience! Many thousands of events plus hundreds of thousands of matches, relationships and marriages!
- It works so well, we've taken it international
- Meticulously planned events - we don't want to waste your time with cancellations, so we only list the events we're very confident will run.
