About the restaurant
Chippendale is brimming with poor uni students out for a good time. And the Lansdowne pitches to its clientele perfectly. The kitchen serves pub food, and you can choose a meal for even the most meager budget, with $5, $10 and $15 offerings. No one expects culinary refinement for that kind of cash, but the Lansdowne delivers great, grungy live entertainment and that's what keeps the masses happy.
