Why it's worth checking out
The Duke of Clarence sits on Clarence Street in the heart of the Sydney CBD, tucked into a laneway setting. A characterful English-style pub, it brings a cosy, authentic British-pub feel to the city — combining hearty pub fare, good drinks (including a strong ale selection) and a warm, welcoming atmosphere in a charming, traditional setting.
The appeal is that combination of a great English-pub atmosphere, hearty food and drinks and a central city location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a pint, catching the sport or a fun night out. The authentic British-pub character and laneway charm give it a real point of difference in the CBD, and the Duke of Clarence has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,100 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours, any live sport and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a pint, a hearty feed and a characterful English-pub atmosphere in the city, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Duke of Clarence.
