21 Cheap Steaks in Sydney: All Under $25 Across the City
The Weekly Cheap Steak Nights Every Sydneysider Should Know
Hidden down laneways or at loud and rowdy pubs, many of the best cheap steaks in Sydney are hiding in plain sight on pub specials boards. And every one that we’re sharing on this list costs less than $25.
From Surry Hills locals to rooftop bars with harbour views, these are the steak nights worth building your week around. Most run on one set day, which makes a Monday rump or a Wednesday feed a very good reason to leave the house.
Expect a proper cut cooked how you like it, a pile of chips, some salad and your pick of sauce, often with a cold schooner within easy reach. Some deals are for lunch, some are dinner only and a few sit inside happy hour, so check the day and time on each card. Specials change more often than menus do, so give the venue a quick check before you head out. Think of this as your cheat sheet for a great steak dinner that leaves the rent money alone.
Perfect for before a game at Moore Park or after work, the Thursday night steak special at The Bat and Ball Hotel is a steal. It's just $20 every Thursday. Pair it with the happy hour deal from 5pm-6pm (pints for schooner prices) and you're in for a cheap night.
