Thank you
The Sydney pub scene has undergone something of a revolution over the past decade, with countless historic watering holes refurbished and revitalised rather than left to just fade away. Some have stripped back the old-school pub vibes in favour of sleek, creative design, while others have changed just enough to keep the roof from caving in — lovingly preserving beer-stained carpets, wood-panelled bar tops and decades of character.
This list of the 25 best pubs in Sydney includes a little bit of everything: old and new, sprawling beer gardens and roaring fireplaces, chicken parmies and caviar, and just about everything in between. Hit the link in bio to discover the full list of venues that define Sydney’s pub culture.

☘️ St Patrick’s Day Weekend begins at The Duke
Our Irish Coffee has a bit of a story behind it.
A few years ago Jillian Vose from New York’s famous The Dead Rabbit joined us for a bar takeover and showed the team how they make their legendary Irish Coffee.
Safe to say it went down very well… so we kept it on the menu.
For St Patrick’s celebrations, we’re pouring ours with , fresh coffee and thick cream.
Part of our St Patrick’s menu running now until Tuesday 17th March.
