The Verdict

As Australia’s oldest brewery, the Lord Nelson is a Sydney institution. Nearly everyone has tasted a pint of their famous Three Sheets pale ale– and if you haven’t, this one should go right to the top of the list. Nestled in Sydney’s historic neighbourhood of The Rocks, this corner pub has remained simple and true to its name since 1836.

The food at this Sydney pub is made even better by the permanently cosy atmosphere. Enjoy the delicious chicken and avocado burger, or steak sandwich from the bar menu. If you’re dining in a group, head upstairs to the restaurant, which boasts a delicious seasonal menu and an award-winning wine list.

Bar Demo

Bar Demo is a late-night vinyl bar in Newtown, designed for lovers of a well-crafted drink without the fuss. Owners Claudia Morgan and Olly Churcher (Ex-Double Deuce Lounge) are bartenders by trade, so there’s faith to be had in their curated 60-bottle wine list and seasonally crafted cocktails. The venue itself has grown from their joint experiences working and sipping in some of Sydney’s best bars—Morgan says “we wanted somewhere open late where we could buy a bottle without sitting down for a meal, sink some martinis, listen to some interesting music or have a dance”. Bar Demo certainly checks all of the boxes: open 5pm—midnight, Wednesday—Saturday, with no full kitchen but a dedicated menu for snacks, and a soundtrack of full albums played on vinyl, with each night featuring a curated selection of tunes.
