TomfooleryJanuary 18, 2016Apparently there's a tunnel from the cellar to the harbour that was used for rum smuggling & the involuntary recruitment of sailors (a young man might find himself on a boat after a night of drinking)Upvoted Oct 30
Rich GallagherOctober 29, 2011Grab a beer in one of Sydney's oldest pubs - ask a bartender to tell you about the secret tunnels if it is not too busy.
- Sneha RoySeptember 22, 2015Absolutely love the place. Visit them on a Sunday night, for a great performance by an irish band.
Tom WOctober 28, 2020Hands down the best Guinness in Sydney. Maybe even the world... don’t tell Ireland.
Josh MMay 30, 2012Make sure you get there for the Irish band, and experience the amazing violinist. Sit back with a Pint and enjoy the night!- Iain CarmichaelNovember 30, 2018Nice pub but I think the locals would like to pull up the drawbridge
Denise HAugust 21, 2014I don't care if the oldest or second or third oldest. It's a great pub. The tunnels below are fascinating too.- Damodar Mall @SupermarketWalaNovember 25, 2013Chilled Irish beer. Amazing but overpriced. 100 yr old story and cellar walk...priceless!
Andreas KAugust 29, 2010The oldest pub in Sydney. Nice spot with open fire place in winter, Guiness beer & Jameson whiskey and friendly people.
Great atmosphere but pretty pricy beers. No food on Mondays either
Dalibor FukalaApril 29, 2017The worst customer attitude in Australia so fat. Do not recommend. Do you want to taste 2, 3 beers before you choose, forget about it, you can taste one. Go other places, they serve you differently.
Another pub claiming to be the oldest in Sydney. Only one way to find out .. Fight!!!

"Try the Conservas Ortiz Anchovies followed by the Cloudy Bay Clams in xo as a main. An experience in taste well worth experiencing."

"Try the hamburger, great flavor and a generous portion of crispy chips on the side. About $15 which, in Sydney, is pretty good"
Denea GourmetRabbit - 8.3
"Great pizzas! Coat of Arms is great, and the Saltwater Croc is ... interesting. But if you want mouthwatering goodness, try the Crispy Bacon. Amazingly good!"
