Memories and that's about it

"Under the Bridge In Town"

 


If the Red Hot Chili Peppers had been in Sydney at the beginning of the 90's, Their 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' album, and more specifically, the second single from that album, 'Under The Bridge', might have been a bit different. It may have been more about beers, burgers and good times than about loneliness and drug use. The Harbour View Hotel is indeed Under The Bridge and it does happen to share a few other details with the RHCP song. Grab a beer and read on...

Orient Hotel, The Rocks

89 George Street, The Rocks, Sydney
Sydney Pub List reviewers: Bot & Blogs
Review time: Lunch


 "It serves beer and other things"


 
The Orient Hotel is a pub and it is made of bricks. The other little pigs built their pub of straw and sticks and now those pubs are gone. One of the sizier-looking pubs of the area, standing on the corner of George and Argyle Streets, The Orient demands some attention from passers-by.

Front bar beers in "Sydney's oldest pub"

Burger Bot enjoys a coldie at the front bar



It was time to get back to The Rocks. The Fortune of War is arguably Sydney's oldest pub and they're quite vocal about that statement. Walking into the place you certainly get a sense of many punter having been through the place. It kind of has that history smell about it....

Australian Heritage Hotel, The Rocks

100 Cumberland Street, Sydney
Reviewers present: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs
Time of review: The Long Lunch

Too busy drinking beer to take a decent photo

"It's good but, struth, how good?"




The Australian Heritage Hotel is a good pub. However, coming to a conclusion on this one has been hard - some really rate it, others don't. Is it a great pub? Not quite.

(Old rating: 2.5 rubber chickies, for the front bar and beers only.)

 

Come for the front bar, stay for the front bar


Out of a bunch of pub options along George Street in The Rocks, this was the only one that had room for us. Perhaps that was saying something about the place already?
