Why it's worth checking out
Harts Pub sits on the corner of Essex and Gloucester Streets in The Rocks, Sydney's historic harbourside precinct beside the Harbour Bridge. A characterful pub with a heritage feel, it's earned a strong following for its good drinks — including a fine selection of craft beer — quality pub food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere in one of the city's most atmospheric historic areas.
The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food, a good craft-beer offering and a prime heritage location in historic The Rocks, ideal for a relaxed meal, a pint, a catch-up or a fun night out. The characterful old-pub feel and lovely heritage surrounds give it real appeal, and Harts has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a pint, a hearty feed and a characterful pub atmosphere in historic The Rocks, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Harts.
