Romance doesn't always have to be serious, and the Norfolk is all about fun. Celebrate love at the party pub, with a drink during happy hour, tacos and good times in the beer garden.

This Riley Street staple got a redux a few years ago and still boasts sass, style and good times. We all know that if you can't find true love, pizza is the next best thing. Or if you're partnered up, why not share a slice with your lover?

This Petersham pub has one of the kookiest desserts around – they Jelly Wrestle – which sees jelly, ice cream, waffles and sundae trimmings thrown together, all to be consumed with gloved hands. Get your partner one of these for guaranteed bedroom eyes.

House of Crabs

  • Surry Hills
  • price 2 of 4

You’ll find this homage to the American seafood shack above the Norfolk. They'll give you paper bibs, then bring out the sauced seafood in big plastic bags for you to attack with claw crackers. Mess, laughter, good times – it's the polar opposite of the snooty white tablecloth dinner.
