Australian Heritage Hotel, The Rocks

100 Cumberland Street, Sydney
Reviewers present: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs
Time of review: The Long Lunch

Too busy drinking beer to take a decent photo

"It's good but, struth, how good?"




The Australian Heritage Hotel is a good pub. However, coming to a conclusion on this one has been hard - some really rate it, others don't. Is it a great pub? Not quite.

TC Lounge, Sydney

Wynyard Station, Sydney
Reviewers present: Blogs and The Bot
Time of review: After work quickie


Nice simple selection of tap beers with a bunch of bottled beer in the fridge

"News just in - price jackpot!"




(The old rating: 1.5 rubber chickens watching the news and drinking cheap beer)

 
TC Lounge is definitely not a pub (in fact, you can barely call it a bar) so why are we including it here, you ask? One simple answer - CHEAP BOOZE.

Observer Hotel, The Rocks

69 George Street, Sydney
Reviewers present: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs, Hulk Smash

Time of review: Lunch

 

(Old rating: 2.5 rubber chickies, for the front bar and beers only.)

 

Come for the front bar, stay for the front bar


Out of a bunch of pub options along George Street in The Rocks, this was the only one that had room for us. Perhaps that was saying something about the place already?

Queen Victoria Hotel, Enmore

167 Enmore Road, Enmore
Reviewers present: BurgerBot, Joe Blogs
Time of day: The dinner shift



"Something something for everyone!"



(that's "3.5 rubber chickens" in the old system)


One could quite easily walk right by this Enmore Road establishment, without giving it much of a look-in except if you were looking for a bottle shop or a gambling den. The front of the QVH is dominated by these two things, hiding the potential that lies within.
