Hotel Palisade

Hotel Palisade sits on Bettington Street at Millers Point, near The Rocks on the edge of Sydney Harbour. A beautifully restored heritage pub, it's a genuine local landmark — combining a characterful old-pub atmosphere with quality food and drinks, and crowned by its renowned rooftop bar (the Henry Deane), which offers some of the most spectacular harbour and bridge views in the city.

The appeal is that combination of genuine heritage, a great pub atmosphere and that famous rooftop with its stunning harbour outlook: whether you're after a relaxed drink in the historic pub or a special cocktail with breathtaking views from the rooftop, it's a memorable spot. Its history, character and peerless views have made it a beloved fixture.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The pub, the rooftop bar, menus, opening hours and any rooftop bookings vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly for the rooftop or a busy night — while looking forward to the heritage charm and spectacular harbour views at Hotel Palisade.
