About the region

Sydney: where to stay, where to eat, where the locals drink.

Sydney's pub accommodation runs from the harbour to the Hawkesbury River, and most of it is out in the suburbs rather than the city centre.

In the city, The Australian Heritage Hotel is a traditional pub in The Rocks, the Criterion Hotel is on Pitt Street, and the Royal Exhibition Hotel is in Surry Hills beside Central Station. Just south, the Lakes Hotel in Rosebery is about ten minutes from Sydney Airport, and The Erko Hotel is in Erskineville. For the beach, Hotel Steyne is on The Corso in Manly, across from Manly Beach and a short walk from the ferry to the city.

The inner west suits trips to Sydney Olympic Park: the Strathfield Hotel is opposite Strathfield station, and the Wentworth Hotel is on Parramatta Road at Homebush. Further south-west there are local pubs with rooms at Campsie, Lakemba, Greenacre and Riverwood. To the south are the Meridian Hotel in Hurstville, the Kingsgrove Hotel, and the Penshurst, Mortdale and Narwee hotels.

Further out, the Blacktown Tavern is in Sydney's west, The Hornsby Inn is on the upper North Shore, the George IV Inn is at Picton in the south-west, and the Wisemans Inn Hotel is at Wisemans Ferry on the Hawkesbury.

Every listing is publican-run. Enquire directly with the pub for rates: there are no booking fees and no commission.

Wisemans Inn Hotel is a historic pub at Wisemans Ferry on the Hawkesbury River, with heritage rooms in the hotel and an adjoining motel. Established in 1827, the inn includes Cobham Hall, which Solomon Wiseman built in 1826. Its original sandstone walls and convict-cut rafters are still on show, and guests say the small museum upstairs is worth a look. There are five heritage rooms and six motel units, with a mix of shared and private bathrooms, air conditioning, tea and coffee making, car parking and free Wi-Fi. Classic pub meals are served inside or on a big deck with mountain views, and there's a kids' playground and dog-friendly areas. Reviewers often speak well of the food.

Good-value stays

Affordable pub accommodation in Sydney

A pub room is usually the best-value bed in town. You're paying for a clean room in a good spot, not for a lobby — and every one of the 21 Sydney pubs listed here is run by its publican. You enquire with them directly, so there are no booking fees and no commission built into the rate. Of the rooms we hold prices for, budget stays in Sydney start from $129 per night, averaging around $139.

The value is in what's downstairs, too. 17 of the 21 pubs serve meals on site, so dinner is a flight of stairs away rather than a drive. 8 of the 21 pubs have parking for guests.

Traditional pubs in Sydney

10 of these are traditional pubs — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, usually right on the main street. The rooms are simple and priced to match. Some have an ensuite; others share a bathroom down the hall, the way pub rooms always have. Each listing says what's included, and the publican will tell you exactly what you're getting when you enquire.
