Why it's worth checking out
The Australian Heritage Hotel sits on Cumberland Street in The Rocks, Sydney's historic harbourside precinct near the Harbour Bridge. A much-loved historic pub, it's a genuine Rocks institution — combining a gorgeous heritage building with a great range of Australian craft beers, its renowned pizzas (famous for adventurous Aussie-inspired toppings) and a warm, characterful atmosphere.
The appeal is that combination of genuine heritage character, a fantastic Australian-beer offering, its well-known pizzas and a lovely, atmospheric setting in historic The Rocks, ideal for a beer, a pizza, a catch-up or soaking up the history near the harbour. There's something special about a pub with real heritage and a distinctive offering, and the Australian Heritage Hotel has clearly drawn a big, loyal following of locals and visitors.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 2,100 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. The beer range, menus, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for an Australian craft beer, an adventurous pizza and a characterful heritage-pub atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Australian Heritage Hotel in The Rocks.
