Lord Nelson Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Karen Edwards
Just love this place. It's on our 'must visit' list whenever we go to Sydney, hubbies favourite pub! We were there early evening on a Friday and it was busy with a mixed crowd of work colleagues catching up for a drink after work or friends starting a night out. I opted for the porter which was delicious. The beers my drinking companions had were also very good.
5 Star Review by Matthew Gibbs
This pub is fantastic. Nestled in the heart of the Rocks is this perfect brewery. The beers are some of the nicest beers I've tried at a brewery and the nods to all of Lord Nelson's life as the names of the beers is great. Personally haven't tried the food but always looked delicious. Will be trying it on my next stop in. One if the few places I always try to go to when in Sydney. Do yourself a favour and go!
5 Star Review by susan christmas
I loved this place. Historic building with exceptional staff. Very friendly. Vera, who cleans the pub was so nice. She let me walk with her when she got off shift and showed me some things like where the market is. Very charming old feel. I would definitely stay again. Just a note..if you have trouble walking stairs this is not the place for you..no elevator/lift. I don't drink alcohol but saw many locals in the pub and they said it was very good. The young man that cleaned my room was kind and helpful. The receptionist and owner were friendly also.
4 Star Review by Shane Grennan
Pretty darn good. Downstairs pub grub, upstairs finer fair. Flexibility upstairs to do both. Upstairs very good wine list indeed and the food is excellent, porterhouse delivered as did the chocolate mouse, as judged by the supreme sugar judges (kids). Would definitely return.
5 Star Review by aseem das
Such an amazing venue and such amazing people. We recently had our wedding reception there and the staff, especially Sonia were great, both on the day and leading up to it. The service was efficient and the food was excellent...and all reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend.
5 Star Review by karen richardson
Great spot for feeling the history of Sydney you get a real insight into authentic life as its very unspoilt. Fab ales having a microbrewery onsite, which is on show out the back for all to see. Please make sure you book a table as it is sways busy but the service isn't long and the food is super yummy at a reasonable price. Make sure you don't miss out on a visit here!
5 Star Review by Dylan R
My family of 3 really enjoyed our dinner here. The food came out fast and the beer was very good. We visited on a Friday night at 7 and had a great time. You have to go up and order yourself at the bar each time you want something but this was only a small inconvenience. Would go back for the beer for sure. The bartenders and servers were very friendly and fast.

Worst steak that Ive had in a long time, over cooked, dry & chewy. It cost me $142 for two steak & chips, side of veggies & 2 non-alcoholic drinks
