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.

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?

"You only live once?"

It's the second time we've been to this bar, sleazily tucked away in the corner of Wynyard station, and we left (after only one drink) again wondering why we came.
