Hero of Waterloo

History repeats

81 Lower Fort Street
The Rocks
Sydney, NSW 2000

The battle at hand is not Napoleonic but much closer to home--which is Sydney's longest-established pub, the Lord Nelson or the Hero? Debate has raged for years, but no one is about to surrender this one. The Hero is steeped in history so palpable you can almost hear the bawdy cries of the drunken sailors who drank here back in the mid-nineteenth century reverberating off the sandstone walls. The Hero is a living part of Australia's heritage--and a great place for a cold beer and a game of two up. Food served includes fish, meat and vegetable dishes.
