The Hero Of Waterloo

Great location and pub in the Rocks. It’s a little removed from the main busy streets so it’s a good option for a casual lunch without the traffic and noise. The pub is the oldest in Sydney and the historical features are on full display. It’s a beautiful sandstone building. Food is really good, excellent fish and chips - crispy and not greasy. The beetroot salad was really good as well. Outdoor and indoor seating Staff is friendly. There is live music some nights a week. Metered street parking available. It’s a little gem 😃

favourite pub of my recently deceased grandfather. I can see why, extremely lovely service and food, although small serves and high prices. was lovely. bar downstairs had excellent ambiance and would love to drink there just as he did. highly recommend if you're ever in the rocks to pop in for a drink.

Found myself craving a beef wellington and was happy to find it here. Could have done with some more veggies but the meat was great. The fish and chips is a joke tho, more like fries with fish fingers! Thought this was a kids meal portion with an adult meal price. Friendly staff but the food portions could do with some touch up.

Historic old English Pub, good food and good beer! We enjoyed lunch a delicious crispy skin pan-fried barramundi and chips with drinks. This pub is one of many pubs in area of Sydney Harbour, Circular Quay and The Rocks. Book a tour from your hotel so the guide can show you how to get to all the old English themed Pubs, there are an Irish and Australian pubs too. We spent New Years Eve in The Rocks and did the pub tour by ourselves because we like to discover new places. But we are from Australia so we know our way around Sydney. The best way to get to the Hero of Waterloo Pub is to go the The Rocks and and follow the road around to the Lord Nelson and Glenmore Pubs and ask a the staff for directions or use your GPS. It's a fantastic walk filled with old England character. A visit to Australia must include a stay in The Rocks - there is lots of 3-5 star accommodation available. If you really want a treat - climb the Bridge and visit the rocks and these pubs on New Years Eve - it's an unforgettable fantastic experience!

We attended the Hero of Waterloo on Saturday 21st May 2022, when we arrived there was a small band playing rock/blues/jazz and the atmosphere was great. We sat down had a few drinks and then ordered a meal. Now here is my recommendation.... If you are EVER at the Hero of Waterloo you need to order a meal. All 5 of us ordered a different meal and we all made comment on how awesome it was.... Now this is a pub, not a fancy restaurant but the meal was well above a good restaurant quality. So well done to the management for emptying such a quality chef! The pub itself is small and pokey which is exactly the style of a pub which holds as much history as it does. When we are next in Sydney or the Rocks area itself we will be calling back in to the Hero of Waterloo!

Best pub I have ever experienced and I have been to alot! Nestled in the most beautiful part of the world on the corner you'll find this magnificent historical Georgian Australian architectural pub in there the friendliest staff with clean and magnificent food and service, rating this pub as simply the best pub in our country! I highly recommend this amazing and fantastic place to all my friends and family alike!
