N. C.

What a great place! Pros: - 10/10 top shelf food. Steak frites, sausage & padrón peppers, ocean trout - Amazing authentic pub vibe - Friendly staff - Kent Old Brown on tap Cons: - Not walking distance from my house!

J. R.

Nice staffs. Nice to met you both, nice people. May the God Bless You. Have a good one 🤠🤟😎. from The bypass person who looked for a bathroom.

J. P.

Had a wonderful night here with the family. Booked a large table downstairs in the bar area and was very happy to be able to oder the restaurant meals downstairs. The staff were accomodating and very friendly. Loved the atmosphere, music and the food was delicious. Looking forward to going back soon.

J. D.

Walked in here with some mates just wanting some beers. Decided to sit outside and do some people watching. It was a good laugh so we thought we would get some grub to complement the vibe. Wooooweeee. The steak was amazing. Try the liver butter!! I'll be back

A. L.

It's an amazing little local venue. Am so pleased the new ownership has taken it beyond what it was before. Don't forget to grab a pint from downstairs before heading to the restaurant if not into wine! Attached theatre still on my to-do!

M. L.

An excellent, quiet pub with consistent design motifs, friendly waitstaff and great food. We'll be back for Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. The Pork terrine was today's special, with pickled artichoke and bread. With a strong taste but no musk, this was my favourite. The Scotch egg was perfectly delicate, with a thin mince coating. The Hot Chip Butty are amongst the best chips I've ever had, with crisp exterior and soft, moist interior. Raw beef on Dripping Toast is my least favourite, due to its similarities with the French beef tartare, which I consider superior in taste and texture. The dessert, custard Treacle tart was amazing; a firm custard with cookie base sitting in Treacle sauce. Very nice. Only complaint would be the overall cleanliness of table and silverware.

A. W.

What a difference the new team has made — the food under Nic Hill is excellent with exciting options, cheeky twists and generous servings. They have still retained the relaxed local vibe, but cool updates as well. Definitely worth checking out again and again — the menu changes frequently to suit local and seasonal availability. Can’t wait to go back!

The Old Fitz came to our attention through the timeout bar awards, where they won “best bar food”. We liked the sound of the menu so we figured we’d grab a few foodie friends and check it out for ourselves. We went on a Friday night and it was a lively place with punters enjoying a beer on the sidewalk of the establishment and throughout the two story building which has plenty of great beer on tap. It’s an electric atmosphere, both the crowd and venue. Whilst it’s been updated, it still carries the old world charm. The building has been around since the 1860’s and you can see some old portraits adorning the crimson walls. It’s pub lovers menu serving up British gastropub inspired delights. What could be better than a rissole sandwich with a beef mince in the sandwich mustard, ketchup, parsley, melted cheddar and beetroot. Very moist and juicy, this was certainly a surprise packet and one of the favourite bites from our sitting. The crunchy outer casing was a good start to the scotch egg with oozing yolk, kept together with sausage mince of pork neck, bacon, sage and white pepper. A delicious mix of ingredients and a perfect snack. The dish which enticed our visit was the scallop potato scallop. Pretty much your old school potato scallop with a seafood scallop inside. A very good potato scallop with a beautifully crisp batter but the sea scallop was kind of lost in it. We enjoyed the cauliflower cheese tart with butter lettuce and the beetroot dish. Both had great flavour combinations and the beetroot dish had hazelnuts, which provided a crunch element and the horseradish gave a nice contrast to the pickled beetroot. A lovely option for vegetarian diners too. The raw beef on dripping toast is their version of a beef tartare with nicely seasoned meat. Since we’re there around Christmas time we opt for a festive dish, the Christmas pudding custart tart. A lovely dessert to finish off the dining experience. If you’re looking for a gastro pub with a cool vibe, then check this place out

J. S.

So good to see The Old Fitz rockin' again with full tables inside and out after probably the longest COVID closure of all our locals. New menu has nailed the options people want from a pub... everything from tasty and good quality bar style snacks to a decent steak. Also glad the Theatre has reopened and Trivia Wednesday is back - loved the screen questions.

G. D.

Nice little pub. Menu (crinkled beer stained piece of paper) is limited and uninspiring. Good place for a drink but food is not for me. Others seem to like it so judge for yourself

J. F.

A lovely pub in the heart of Woolloomooloo with excellent “gastro-pub” food and a great selection of beers, ciders, wines, and seltzers. I real locals pub that is welcoming to all.

K. H.

Excellent venue, with welcoming and friendly staff. A relaxed atmosphere, where locals and visitors alike can sit back, watch the world go by and enjoy each other's company.

R. S.

Food is superb, and the staff are lovely. The venue is classic but unique, and hopefully it stays that way

J. S.

So pleased The Brasserie reopened after lockdown just in time for a special birthday lunch. All delicious - the salt cod fritters are sublime. Can’t rave enough about the confit duck (the best mash ever) and trout dish was first class. Pannacotta cake was the perfect end. Compliments to the chef :) Brilliant attentive service made it a memorable yum lunch.

M. H.

Very busy on a Friday night but otherwise a very local & small gastropub where you can sit pretty much where you want. The staff are great and the food is amazing!

K. H.

Feels like an old English Pub. Winter menu had lots of hearty options I saw the Snitzy and burger and both looked wonderful. I chose the Chicken Pie with peas, mashed potato and gravy = delicious. We are upstairs which was very chilled out couch and low table style. Downstairs had the bar and wood fire. Some outdoor tables. All lovely and casual for a Sunday afternoon.

J. S.

The pub downstairs is great if you like proper drinking holes with a really good selection of different local beers. The upstairs bistro is excellent. Food was amazing, especially the steaks and the gratin. The wine list is good too. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service was friendly, casual but absolutely spot on. All round a great experience. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

S.

Classic ambiance with trendy pub food. Great location, where locals meet the outside world coming into their play ground.

M. L.

Select you food from the menu and special request is accepted. Ordering the salmon with vegetables was what my stomach craved for and indeed satisfying. Down side.... no chicken wings. Decor... what a good old fashioned pub should be. Nice, cozy, private with an added fireplace. Great experience for an off day. Cheers guys.

E. D.

The food was well prepared and well presented. The service was attentive and prompt. Loved the watercress soup. Cute atmosphere. This was our second time there. Our first time, we had some snags. I think what makes a difference about a restaurant is what they do to make it right. Well done by owner and manager.

E. S.

The menu is so considered and wonderful! Love sitting up in the bistro for great family times and big catch ups with friends. Feel like I'm in a little Parisian bistro in that spring sunshine. Also, belter wine list. Pubs with good booze and food! Yes! Get it. J'adore. Also secret pool table is such a good escape for a bit of fun or a sneaky pash. Hehe.

B.

Delightful food, wine, service and atmosphere. First rate, highly recommended.

M. R.

Sat outside at the pub. Ordered Steak Frites and a few glasses of wine. Splendid. Great wine list.

B. I.

Great back street pub and way above average dining room. Very relaxed vibe.

J. C.

Here is an old and yet vibrant place to be. I remember coming down here once and it was such pleasant experience. Been here quite few times, never ceases to please me. Food and drinks are great as well

S. F.

Probably the best Sunday roast in CBD. Slightly expensive at $28 a pop, but boy this roast is good. Hits the right spots and has a perfect mix of veggies, meat and gravy. Will come back for more! Ambience aint too bad either. Choice of two different settings.

Y. R.

One of the very best pubs in Sydney. Great beer, great food, friendly staff and a fantastic ambiance and aesthetic that reminds one of the mother country; loved everything about it.

S. P.

If you’re looking for a quiet local corner pub, for a brew or 2 with friends and some excellent pub grub, look no further. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff friendly, and the patrons eclectic. Best enjoyed on a sunny afternoon.

C. B.

Not for everyone probably but we loved it. Great range of beers and they make their own charcuterie in-house.

C. B.

Quaint little pub in the heart of Woolloomooloo. The downstairs bar had lots of atmosphere especially when it's full and there are some great private spaces upstairs. They have a small theatre attached to the pub with some really interesting shows. Cone for a drink and dinner before the show. On show nights the pub gets quite busy, but clears around 8pm when the show starts.

A. S.

Love the local atmosphere. Great food. Nice staff. All around good local hidden gem.

M. N.

Quaint, old fashioned place with a great selection at the bar, friendly staff, tidy lunch menu and three levels to pick from. Tried the chicken and leek pie instead of their signature chook parma and was pleasantly surprised. A good selection of craft and regular beer will keep your thirst at bay on a warm, summer afternoon.

K. C. (.

Love the quality of the food at this place, when you go classy bistro on your pub food this is what you get. 😋

J. D.

Great local pub, good selection of craft beers

S. G.

Who doesn’t like the Old Fitz. Good food, good atmosphere, good people and dog friendly.

D. G.

Sunday roast is excellent. Super busy though. Get in early before they are sold out

E. W.

Super friendly staff and a great selection of wine and beers. The only let down is the food, would rather some super well executed pub food than the current menu, the things we’ve ordered have missed the mark. Hoping the menu will get a refresh for Winter.

W. C.

Food was great and the dining area was very chill and had good atmosphere.

G.

So happy our favourite local pub has just reopened after Covid! Great menu, their steak with liver butter is a must try! Love having a cold Brookvale ginger beer by the balcony upstairs!

A. F.

I love this pub. The new restaurant upstairs has incredible food and very friendly, attentive service. The wine list is short but beautifully curated. See you soon!

M. B.

Quaint pub, great service, great atmosphere and will come back for a drink any time. Food, however, was really poor quality and poor value for money. On the menu it looks great, but execution, flavours and quality is pretty average

d. f.

Great relaxed vibe. Good food, good drinks

N. Y.

Good beers and ambiance, but the food is way overpriced for what it is. I would love to see them serve classic pub food at a reasonable price.

M. S.

Great pub. Fantastic food, perfectly cooked fish and lovely chips! Sat outside which was great - such a nice outlook and great atmosphere. Staff were awesome

J. D.

Saw View from the Bridge here. Great actors, amazing atmosphere and intimate showing. The Old Fitz is one of the great institutions of Sydney.

M. P.

Unpretentious family friendly lunch but very complex and delicious food ! Highly recommend the steak frites with liver butter, fregola with bug and brioche w/ fig and raw tuna .. the chefs here are smashing it !! .. well done :)

D. H.

Great little pub for a quiet drink and tapas

S. M.

Charming old pub. Great service. Exceptional menu. Can't go past their Sunday roast or a classic rissole sanga.

r. o.

Great steak cooked perfectly. Cold beer, happy staff, cool funky music and friendly atmosphere. Perfect pub.

G. M.

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. Very good steak frite with liver butter. Interesting wine list, and Reschs on tap. Will be back.

E. C.

Great food at a reasonable price. It seems like it is a hidden gem where only locals know about it.

T. F.

Friendly place with a laid back hipster vibe. Good selection of beers. Charming old building on the chic side of shabby. Interesting menu featuring offal but with some less challenging options. Note though that children are definitely not welcome.

T. L.

Haven’t been to the pub myself yet, but we started following their Instagram during lockdown and bought one of their dinner packs with Messina. The food was simply outstanding and really easy to prepare at home. We’re looking forward to frequenting this place as soon it’s doors reopen.

J. K.

Great staff, great beer list, amazing food and dog friendly!! Will be a regular here. What a fantastic pub!

S. C.

Hands down the best Sunday Roast ($28 Beef with all the trimmings) in Sydney. We visited based on a glowing recommendation and were not disappointed. We went for lunch around 1ish on Sunday and parking was very easy. Loads of street parking (for a fee). Outside and indoor seating all pet friendly. Tables inside are a little close together however once the food comes, you won't even notice! Tables are also just long tables you join and sit with others. We managed to get a table inside pretty quickly and so did others - people come and go at a steady pace. Great atmosphere but probably need more staff serving at the bar as you can wait for an uncomfortable time to order. Food was absolutely fabulous - Sunday beef roast although remember to order extra gravy! Too quality Sunday lunch and the rest of the menu soubds great, will be going back for sure. Ample amount of seating front and back and also supports theatre productions (Stage Door) which we'll need to try. Toilets were not the best, old tired and not the cleanest which was a bit of a let down.

D. A.

Great place for a drink and a chilled vibe. They also have the theatre attached (which I've only been once but a great touch) The only reason I mark down is due to the fact they changed the food menu which used to be great (it's still okay but the bar was set high). The beers are only average too but I'm one of those annoying pale ale beer drinkers so take that comment with a pinch of salt

M. W.

We came here last weekend just to get away from the rain, but we ended up staying for more than 4 hours and having our dinner. The food was unexpectedly good and cheaper than the pubs near the water. All the food we ordered were very good- even the salad on the side was very yummy. It would be perfectly-perfect if they have Coopers!

M. B.

On a Sunday afternoon while I was waiting for someone, I sat with a G&T, a bowl of hot chips and read a book. The chatter of the lunchtime crowd and the blues music playing was a great background atmosphere. Very easy on the ear. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. A pleasant hour spent on a lazy Sunday.

B. G.

Good range of trendy beers and a few old favourites from the big breweries as well. The team in the kitchen are producing amazing meals. It's a great pub AND THERE'S A THEATRE!!!

D. S.

The best pub food I've had in Sydney. The pig's head, cheddar and onion pie; the Scotch egg; the veal sweetbread with broad beans, almonds and brown butter; and the schnitzel are all smashing dishes. Located in a quiet Wolloomooloo street, The Old Fitzroy is a great pub with friendly staff, but also a dining destination.

H. a. C.

Best Scotch eggs I've ever had even better than Scotland. This is what I've been waiting for. Great selection of beers with a regular change out of taps. Always something new on tap to sample. Friendly locals too.

V. O.

cost pub, great trivia night. Went for dinner on a sat and the food was good. Great steak with the tastiest potatoes. Was asked to pay $8 for two soda waters at the bar which was a bit of a joke!

J. W.

Had booked to see a play 'Fierce' in the basement theatre - which may be the smallest performing space in Sydney? Anyway the play was stunning- Google it to get the story. The pub has changed hands recently but the staff are still fun and friendly. More importantly Louis Nowra and his little dogs still have a drink there. I'll be back.

A. W. (.

Great little bar in Woolloomooloo. Staff are friendly. They have a good range of craft beer. The restaurant has a limited menu however I ordered the steak and it looked kind of basic on the plate - except it was probably the best steak I have ever had - that includes expensive steak restaurants. Only one slight let down you can either eat in the bar where space is limited or go out into the patio room which is where all the smokers are :( Other than that it's a great place.

D. r.

Had the most delicious meal last night before seeing a play. Had considered going to somewhere super swanky for valentines but didn't want to rush to theatre downstairs .. Great choice!!! We had an amazing meal for a very humble price tag. Will be going again often!

C. S.

The Old Fitzroy is a classic pub in a quiet street and a great place to meet friends to catch up. The low hubbub does not make conversation hard, and the beer selection is excellent. The staff are friendly and knowledge about their beers.

E. P.

The bistro is excellent, excellent food and excellent service :)

A. R.

The best scotch egg ever! The picalili makes the best garnish for it. Other highlights were the raw beef toast and the terrine, which they keep changing regularly, so you can always try a new one. I grabbed a table by the fire place, couldn’t be more comforting.

R. M.

One of our favourite pubs in Sydney. It’s got old time character - quite rare in Sydney - and a food menu to revival the nearby Potts Point restaurant scene.

G. H.

Best pub in Sydney! Very mixed crowd and everybody loves each other, super friendly staff and great beer selection! Food is amazing as well! Always coming back to this place!

R. W.

Great bar with a huge ever changing selection of ales and beers on tap, the food is great to and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is always very welcoming and enjoy spending time here

J. C.

Just the warmest, friendliest welcome and hospitality you'll find in Sydney. Gary on the bar and Jimmy in the kitchen are a great duo. Food is excellent and have great portions, and the performance on the night in the theatre was great to top it off!

M. W.

One of Sydney's best kept secrets the Old Fitzroy Hotel unpretentious watering hole filled with 1970's decor and colourful characters, eager to make you feel welcome. The pub is keeping up with the times now serving craft beer with seasonals coming and going to mix things up. The food operators have changed quite a bit but I have never had a bad meal.

B. M.

Quite simply my favourite pub in Sydney. Great staff, great range of drinks, a range of areas to suit whatever mood you are in and one of Sydney's finest indie theatres. An institution that every town deserves and Sydney is lucky enough to have.

R. E.

Hidden gem, this is the best place for a pint, so much atmosphere. Really feels like a traditional old English boozer. I took everyone there when I was living around the corner. Seen a few plays there too, great little theatre.

m. a.

Quaint pub with very interesting live theatre. The outside seating is dog friendly and the street is surprisingly quiet an relaxing given its proximity to Kings Cross and William St. They have a good variety of beers on tap as well.

P. G.

Nice old school pub feeling, decor is a little shabby but lots of character here. I visited on an afternoon during the week. The upstairs area was spacious and secluded.

N. V.

Hidden gem. Lovely place in winter with a warm wood fire and authentic English pub feel. The only letdown is that the food section is independently run and has changed hands probably 5 times since I have been going there. Some of them have been good and some bad.

G. R.

This place is so great, came with a couple friends for lunch and have been before just for drinks, its got a very chill vibe and reasonable prices. I ordered a chicken schnitzel with colcannon mash, red wine jus and avocado salsa and it blew my mind. I will 100% be coming back here to eat and have bevvies again.

s.

Great pub. Although one american girl staff was snotty and unpolite to me. She seemed fake and 2 faced to me. Australian staff were all.perfect. I hope they dont turn an ozzie classic pub into a fake yankee bar

G.

Redline have truly revitalised this place and brought unique and fresh ideas to the stage. Also, the people, drinks and food are all top notch. Classic pub meets new age theatre. Highly recommend.

A. M.

Great authentic old pub atmosphere with an excellent range of beers on tap which are changed regularly. Always a good place to try something new and different! Very nice chips

C. L.

Great friendly atmosphere, good variety of beer & delicious food from Fitz bistro reasonable prices & good portions. They look after the local community in various ways incl trivia nights & the theatre @ the back has some great creative shows with talelented actors

J. W.

Lovely old building. Been a pub for as long as anyone can remember. Open fire in the front bar, order food from the kitchen out the back. Heaps of lounge chairs and table space upstairs. Balcony smokers pit for those who do so you don't have to leave. Lots of advertised activities every night of the week--trivia nights, theatre nights, comedy nights with a small arts space in the premises too. No pokies! Yes, NO POKIES!! YAY! 😀 If I lived local to this place I would be a regular.

C. M.

Great theatre pub with friendly atmosphere and great charm, can't wait to try the laksa

S.

Theatre out the back. Character filled front bar. Boutique-ly priced ales. Average food.

S. S.

Hands down the best pub in Sydney. Great range of beers and cozy friendly atmosphere. Particularly good on Anzac Day for two up.

M. C. (. M.

Theatre downstairs with constant line up of exciting new work. Mostly plays. Good vibe. Warm. Free Street parking. Could walk to Kings Cross station. Can feel a bit dodgy walking around late at night.

F. A.

My 75 year old grandmother got sent and email 5 minutes before we left to go to a play here. Got told off for waiting outside for a ride home.

E. L.

Attended a function and was highly impressed by the staff who were super friendly, efficient and couldn't do enough to help in every was possible. I was out on the street looking in the doorway for the entry to the upstairs and the guy from behind the bar gave a friendly wave and a smile....delightful attitude. Thank you for a great experience and the staff should be cloned and sent to the Newtown Hotel.

B. G.

A 'quiet' bar tucked away in W'loo a few streets away from Kings Cross, have been brought here by a friend a couple of times. Filled with a bunch of 'interesting' characters, including those behind the bar, the atmosphere is pretty cozy and the staff are very welcoming. Perfect for those cold winter evenings, there's even an open fireplace roaring away; couldn't get much warmer than that! There's also marshmellows available if you'd like to toast it near the fireplace, if that's your sort of thing. I've also been told that apparently there's a theatre upstairs as well; perhaps on a future visit I'll have to check it out, as well as the bistro. Perfect if you're just after a quiet drink or two, somewhere a little quirky, and not so pretentious like many of the other establishments nearby.

R. A.

Old style local hotel. Lovely music and a great selection of local and international craft beers. Open fire and friendly staff. Food looks great and there is also a theatre staging local plays downstairs.

S. G.

Fun pub, good beers and character. Has a wide choice of craft ale and a pool table. Also had a theatre in the basement. Apparently Tuesday is the day to go as they do a meal deal!

H. H.

Hidden down a few sides streets but good range of beers and nice pub food. Came for a pub quiz which was also excellent. Great place

A.

Nice staff, and a wonderful show.

M. H.

Pleasantly surprised by this place, food is really good - “gourmet” pub food, great vibes and live theatre - doesn’t get much better than that. A perfect date night - feels local.

L. T.

Historical, 35 second walk from my sons apartment. Alcoholic ginger beer on tap ! Amazing food ! Great band. Board games and Cards Against Humanity. Awesome staff !!

P. F.

Great beers, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

M. S.

My brother and I popped when staying close by, looking for a beer and a bite to eat. We found a good range of beers on tap and some excellent laksa served hot and spicy. Wednesday was quiz night and, although there weren't that many teams playing, we weren't complaining as we came 2nd!

J. W.

Great low key pub. Good variety of craft beers that change on the reg. Expensive drinks but it's the same everywhere I guess Great Tucker Favourite in this area

P. B.

Nice cosy pub. We were greeted by the bar staff as we walked in which was a nice touch. Lovely open fire made it a inviting atmosphere. We will return.

B. L.

Little pub cool for a short hangout. Well decorated. Get pretty crowded though. Small range of craft beers. Friendly staff

T. B.

Sydney's best theatre-bar. The Bar stands up on its own merit, but it's the premiere place to catch bleeding edge indie theatre done at a better-than-professional standard.

D. R.

Garry runs an awesome pub! Convict tikes line the interior, abour 16 rotating taps of beer and good happy people serving and dining! Worth a visit

N. M.

The most underrated pub in Sydney. The food is always amazing, as are the staff!! Highly recommend everything on their menu!

K. R.

Best pub in Sydney

M. A.

My sister recently hosted a birthday event at the Old Fitz. Throughout the whole process the staff were courtesy and accomodating. I would recommend their function room for anyone looking for a quaint atomoshere with very friendly and helpful service!

D. N.

A malnourished local pub that's in dire need of a renovation. Inside looks like a tired old backpackers hostel with a lounge that you'll nearly fall through. Good selection of alcohol, friendly staff, quiet location and a nice taste in music.

R. S.

Old fashioned front bar. In the best possible way. Good locals. Old school. A bit left? Don't let that bother you. It's great. I would drink here one to two nights a week. If I didn't have family commitments.

Z. M.

Exceptional food, great staff, warm cosy vibe. Pull up a stool by the fire and enjoy one of the last pubs with heart in the inner suburbs.

T. D.

Great place to have a beer and play some pool with friends! The live music was always sick when I was there. Highly recommended!!

H. D.

Perfect pub with excellent takes on English food. Reminded me of my late dad. Will be back soon.

T. R.

Excellent food and service. So glad to have a local like this to frequent. 👌🔥

J. B.

The food was fantastic. This bistro could run as a restaurant. Surprised and incredibly happy with the experience. Great value, generously portioned and delicious.

C. F.

There are probably a hundred licensed establishments within 1km of Elizabeth Bay, but options for a low key drink at an unpretentious local pub are few. Enter Fitzroy Hotel, with winter fireplace, ramshackle comfy furniture, good beers on tap and a theatre to boot. Not every show put on by the Tamarama Rock Surfers hits the mark, but their brand of politically conscious theatre has an immediacy in this setting - at the unfancied end of W'moo - that makes you want to go with the performers rather than against them. The beer-show-laksa combo has been a standby for years and is an easy cheap outing option. There's a lot of stairs between my place and theirs, but I'll feel good about the trip when I'm warming myself on a big comfy chair by the fire.

T. K.

Cozy place with a great selection of tap beers. Can get a little warm inside on a hot day/night

B. K.

Great, affordable food (highly recommend the hand cut truffle fries), awesome atmosphere, great jazzy background, super relaxed, open fire. Just love it.

J. W.

Good pub grub. Bit of character about the place

M. A.

Lovely local pub! Great kitchen! And the theatre shows are always fantastic! The woolloomooloo locals and visitors are spoilt by this gem of hideaway!

K. I.

Finest cookery, best creativity, amazing value

J. W.

Sensational food. Pure class. Delicious innovative dishes from hearty to wonderful playful pates accompanied by a glass of wine or two

E. A.

Great location, however lousy menu & expensive drinks.

M. N.

Exit the King is a fantastic play, the actors are incredible, so diverse. Can't recommend this play enough.

J. E.

Love this place: classic pub. The dinner and theatre thing his such find memories, and the fact that it is still running is testament to its quality.

A. M. A.

Lovely old pub, menu, beautiful fresh produce was used!!, we had five bean nachos, they were yummy and the truffle fries were glorious and our vegetrian friend has falufels and a devine salad, veggie saladie produce and pumpkin and salad greens very big serving, I couldn't eat it all, all of the servings were of quite subtance.

J. B.

Our favorite pub in Sydney, reminds me of an old English pub. Super cosy with great food and beer selection!

P. M.

Fabulous pub, food, vino & service. Big yay that there are no poker machines or promotion of gambling. 😀

D. G.

Good little pub. Food was good but theyr an out of booze towards the end of the night! Not sure how a pub runs out of booze!

M. G.

A lovely warm pub, when I say warm I say warm in nature and its also has a open fire! Who doesn't love that, has an old English vibe, and nice for a couple or scooners or more.

D. H.

Old world pub where everything is as it was! Even the chairs that need covering take pride of place. I want to go back and experience the theatre!

M. H.

Olde English-style pub tucked away in a back street of Woolloomooloo. Great atmosphere. It even has a fireplace and a theatre.

C. M.

had a great experience visiting with some retired sailors who haunted the Old Fitz from the 60s-80s. roast lunch a winner.

P. C.

Great pub food and excellent value. The mushy peas with John Dory is the perfect winter meal

M. O.

Amazing food and friendly service. Great for chilled mid week drinks 👌🏼 Classic Aussie pub

G. D.

Pretty cool place!

S. B.

Nice pub good food good bar staff. Plenty of space to watch some sport as well

T. E.

Was my favourite local Sydney pub 18 years ago and revisiting today, pretty much the same. Great pub

p. n.

Great cold beer open fireplace roast meals with a drink only $20 on a Sunday. Cosy nook in the Loo

M. H.

My fav beer is on tap here - Kona Longboard larger - so 5 stars!

D. G.

Great older local pub with friendly staff, good beers and very good venue for functions

A. S.

Sunday roast is excellent. Super busy though. Get in early before they are sold out

A. M.

Cozy pub with great food and a good buzz. My girlfriend had her 40th in the upstairs private bar and it was great.

J. B.

Thank God Guinness is back... it wentmissi g for a while, but now I'll be back too! Fantastic pub for locals...

O. M. J.

Wide selection of beer. Polite and efficient staff. Clean and comfortable surroundings. Reasonable prices.

N. S.

Quaint old pub with a fine selection of craft beers. They've even got a log fire which is great in Winter.

h. e.

(Translated) Nice local pub. It's worth passing by. Reminiscent of an Irish / English brown pub. And tasty cider and ginger beer. (Original) Leuke local pub. De moeite om eens te passeren. Doet denken aan een Ierse/Engelse bruine kroeg. En lekkere cider en ginger beer.
