The Hero of Waterloo Hotel, Millers Point NSW

What a great historic pub, enjoyed the atmosphere and staff telling us some of the history, food was delicious and servings very generous, we had a lovely meal

Favorites: Beef wellington, Geniuse beer
Great restaurant bar with live music. It is one of the oldest bars in Sydney

Nice beer, friendly staff and tasty chips in a quiet street, very handy for the rest of the Rocks and the bridge

One of the best, if not, the best pint of Guinness in Sydney. Lovely pub, with a great view of the Harbour Bridge from outside. The food is also really nice and the staff are very friendly. They don't show live sport, but they do have live music at weekends, which is great.

A friend of mine wanted to check out some of the older bars in Sydney on a rain-filled Saturday, and we ended up at The Hero of Waterloo.

Showing up at around 3 pm on a weekend, the place was packed with families, people from a nearby wedding, and a live jazz band. It was cosy, warm, and very welcoming. The four of us posted up at the bar and had a great conversation with our server who would surprise with us a new drawing on the top of everyone's Guinness, and kept the crowd happy on a really dreary day.

We didn't stay for food - but judging by the number of people there for a late lunch that appeared to be regulars, we should have tried a few things.

Worth a stop anytime you're in town, we really did love this place. Great conversation, great beverages, and it's hard to beat the atmosphere.
