    The Rocks / Circular Quay: Pub tour

  • You can sign up for the Pub Tour at the visitor center in The Rocks. It leaves in the evening & lasts about 2 hours. It is filled with history of the area & offers drinks at 3 pubs with food specials. The guide was informative & I was pleased I took it.

    Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you walk around to the different pubs & may walk up stairs or hills.

    The Orient is a very casual old pub set in 'The Rocks'. It is not the place for the pretenious to be seen but it is a cool place to just hang out, catch a bite to eat, or just have a few beers and a boogie at night. Whenever I visit Sydney I vsit this pub. It usually has a decent crowd if not overflowing at times, a live band in the corner and dance floor upstairs for the late night crowd.

    Casual... Place usually has a gorilla on the door but they're there more to protect the owner from fimes for underaged. Anyone questionable will be carded.

  • Lot of Bars and Pubs around The Rocks with great music, good booze. I cant take any specific names because so many of them were there. Walk around and you will find them.

    Smart Casuals. Make sure you wear formal shoes...cause many places donot allow entry if you are not wearing one.

  • I spent the evening of St. Patricks day there and had all the fun I wanted, it was a great crowd that night and as far as I remember reasonable beer prices.

    The Rocks / Circular Quay: Opera Bar

  • Opera Bar at the Opera House has the most impressive view of the Harbour Bridge. There is an indoor and outdoor area of the bar, with music and a very relaxed feel about it. This is a great place to start the night off. The prices for drinks are average cost, food is also available but can be quite expensive.

    I have seen people in everything and anything. Though I have never seen anyone wear thongs, so not sure if that is allowed or not.

    This is the gang I work with at the Oktoberfest that is held in Sydney down the Rocks every year. We are at the Lowenbrau [the name of the venue] which is open all year around however not just Sep or Oct. Those jugs are a litre each...no wonder we are all smiling.. The Rocks is the historical part of town with a lot of sandstone buildings and cobbled streets and lanes going back to the convict days. You could think of Sydney as an evolved convict camp? lol- see what can happen in 250 years. If you want to eat, a group booking of 10 or more is minimum menu fare of $20AUD. That is, you have to eat a minimum of $20 food. There are group menus available. Also you can just go upstairs to the bar and drink if you prefer

    Collars and covered shoes of evening for the menfolk. No thongs for anyone. [ Thongs as in the footwear, think Australian here] Smart casual
