DrinkThe Rocks

Fortune of War

Makes a claim to be Sydney's oldest pub and continuously licensed since 1830. A wide range of beers on tap, including Guinness and a variety of Australian brews. Very popular amongst office workers and can get cosy in the evenings and at weekends, not helped by its small size.

Coogee Bay Hotel
On a summer's day it is a great place to enjoy a relaxed drink or meal. There's an outdoor beer garden which is popular in summer, and kept warm in winter by outdoor heaters. In the evenings, it can get more lively, with live music, and a younger crowd of backpackers, locals and visitors from around Sydney.
