DK Eyewitness
"Get a taste of Colonial Sydney in the pretty rooms at this famous sandstone pub. The accommodation includes modern necessities such as dataports. Breakfast is included."
Time Out
"This old pub has kept up with the times – and the craft beer trend. The on-site brewery trades seven gorgeous gulps to serve every permutation of palate."

If you’re after history, make sure you take a poke around picture- and plaque-laden sandstone walls.

"Colonial-style B&B in a historic pub with 10 cosy, variably priced rooms: best is the corner room with views of Argyle St."

"If your idea of heaven is sleeping above a pub that brews its own boutique beers (or ales, as they're rightly called) then this is the place."

Rooms are open-plan with see-into showers (you can request a frosted one) and, in higher grades, great feature bathtubs.
Mr & Mrs Smith
"The hotelier’s assurance can be seen in the daring integration of old (the former pub’s seedy band-room posters and the brewery’s urinals) and new: the world-class dining, buzzing bar."
