Sydney Park Hotel St PetersĪt the end of South King Street, across the road from stunning Sydney Park and seconds from St Peters Station, the Sydney Park Hotel is the perfect mix of old and new. The heritage-listed pub has been done-up inside-but not in a way that erases that good old pub soul. The food is rustic and hearty-think meaty steaks and chicken potpies-and the atmosphere is cosy and familiar, like sharing Sunday dinner with your folks. Ivy climbs the walls out front, while Rugby-loving locals fill its suburban sidewalk with a smoke in one hand and a pint in the other. Lord Dudley WoollahraĮssentially, the Lord Dudley is the legendary great-grandfather of Woollahra. Founded in 1896, the Dudley is about as old-timey England as a pub can get, with mahogany wood and open fireplaces scattered throughout its maze-like floor plan.

Perched in the suburban streets of the Inner West, The Courty’s main pull is, indeed, its huge paved beer garden out the back, and its welcoming attitude to all walks of life-including four-legged friends.

On the ground floor, you'll find the breezy waterfront public bar, which features cozy lounges, a central fireplace, and a discreet sports bar.
