We had just flown in from the US and our hotel room was not ready so we happened upon Harts Pub. (The Rocks area) It was my introduction to Australian beer and it did not disappoint. The pub had 12 rotating taps but the one that blew me a way was a double IPA by the name of Pickled Monkey Brewing Company. They must have had about 8 taps from this brewery. Thirsty? Make sure you stop here. read more

Supposedly the oldest pub in Hobart. On this Sunday night it felt like it. Just outside the Rocks area which is good. This old looking pub has a strange outside deck and somewhat dingy inside( in-line with its age claim). Nobody there on Sunday night so not a fair test I suppose. I asked Batman and he said busy during week with office workers ( and tourists). This may improve feel but other than checking off your tourist list of oldest pubs in Hobart ( there are 4 claimants- with all the others better in my opinion) read more

We only stopped in for a happy hour pint, but what a great pub feel. I can absolutely see that this place would be perfect for watching a match and enjoying a few pints in the awesome energy. read more

Great place for food and a couple of brews with your mates... enjoyed the rooftop and the quaint interior blowing the frost off a few.

I've come here a few times on various occasions. I like it hear because they always play NBA games. They also do "4th of July" specials and have some nice beers/ciders. On the 4th of July, they had chili cheese fries for 8 bucks, which were yummy but a little small. They also had chili dogs and chicken wings. Came here for lunch with my coworkers. We got Onion rings and "Croc strips" for the table to share. Crocodile wasn't as bad as I thought, tasted like a cross between chicken and calamari. Guess anything breaded and deep fried will taste good. The onion rings were also tasty. Three of us girls ordered the haloumi burger - pesto, cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes. Everyone else ordered burgers and chicken sandwiches and one person got a beef pie. The haloumi was unfortunately cold and not the burger wasn't very tasty. The fries were cooked nicely though. Overall a cool pub, just ordered the wrong thing. The menu is basically pub food, mostly burgers, sandwiches, fried foods and some dessert. Good for beer, maybe a bit average for food. read more

We came here for the bottomless drinks lunch and it was a fantastic experience! This a cute pub loCated in the Rocks. You could tell the building was old but that was the whole point. We reserved our lunch ahead of time. We had two hours to drink whatever we wanted. We ordered the wings small size as an entree(appetizer) and got it half spicy and half their house sauce. These wings were delicious. The spicy sauce is a Franks red hot sauce and the house sauce was a teriyaki flavored kind of sauce. Not sure what the dipping sauce was but it was so good! My fiancé and I ordered the steak with salad and both got mashed potatoes with red wine jus. It was sooooo good! The steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare, so flavorful and paired well with the creamy mashed potatoes! You go up to the counter/ bar to order which made everything easy. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Great pub in The Rocks. We went there twice while visiting Sydney. Once just for beer and another time for beer and food. It is in a converted house so it has a few different rooms to relax in and have a drink. They also have rooms upstairs and an outside beer garden. They have beer from Rocks Brewing on tap so it was great to try some local beer. It can get pretty busy in the evenings. Seems to be a hangout for locals after work. We were still able to find a seat in one of the many rooms. We split a burger and while you don't have the option to order how it was cooked, it was very good. Chips were hot and fresh. Fun pub in a cool setting. read more

The beers had a weird flavor. This was the first place we went in Sydney, so we weeded worried all the Aussie beers would be weird, fortunately they weren't. Food was ok, big portions, took a while to come out. read more

We eat lunch here today and I can only hope the main chef was off and this isn't representative of the food now. We've stopped to eat here every time we're in Sydney and always loved it - sadly this time it wasn't up to scratch. Let's start with the only good thing; the calamari. It was cooked well and tasty. The Irish fries were ok except the horseradish sauce was absent, it was instead smothered in mayo. The cheesy garlic bread wasn't not very garlic or cheesy - just thick bread. Worst of all; the Thai beef salad. It was the worse I've ever had. The beef was very well done, the 'salad' was some lettuce, coriander, onion. cucumber and a few tomatoes. It there was nothing 'thai' about it. Won't be eating there again. read more

I'm the type who likes the pub on a weekday night or a weekend afternoon. It's nice to have some folks around, but I prefer having space to move and relax. For that reason, Hart's Pub was perfect for me. We stopped by around lunch time and I tried several beers. I liked each to varying degrees, but between their descriptive menu and the helpful barkeep, I knew what I was getting into each time. The food is nice as well. We tried a few of their shared plates, and all were quite good. The facility itself is spread amongst three levels. You just walk in and find space on your own, then order from the bar. There were only a few tables available during the afternoon, so if you absolutely want a seat, you may want to reserve ahead. Like a proper pub, however, the tables are spaced well apart, so there is ample standing room for those who just want a beer. Overall, a very nice and unassuming pub. read more

Throughout this year I have regularly been at this pub, though it is usually for a 1-2 pint pit-stop than a full blown Sunday sesh. This is also the reason that I haven't eaten here this year, because I literally have my 2 drinks and continue on my merry little way to the next pub down the line. What I find great about this pub is the quirky "old English style" tea rooms, which offer small groups some privacy whilst not cutting them off totally from the rest of the pub atmosphere. I'm pretty sure I spied some board games in one of the rooms too, which could be interesting after downing a couple of ales. Naturally being a brew pub the beers are top notch. I usually plump for a pint of the Hangman's Pale Ale and I'm never disappointed. It always goes down a treat. The staff are friendly and the service is pretty fast though it can be a little neglected by patrons because some people just don't know the place exists. It's not exactly on the main drag. It also should be noted that weekend arvos are a far more relaxed affair than Friday suits after work. There is an outdoor section upstairs to enjoy the sunshine and/or for smokers. read more

This is one of my favorites when visiting Sydney. Great ambiance, funny quotes on the upstairs walls, the staff is always friendly and the food is great. The beers are all craft and cycle out but they have a good selection. read more

Pints are expensive at $10 a pint, but they are rather tasty nonetheless. The food? If you like shoe leather and are not afraid of aggravating your TMJ then try the flank steak. I ordered it medium rare (visually seemed to be cooked properly) and I'm just thankful they removed the laces before serving me whosever boot that was. Somebody please recommend me a decent steak at $25-$35. read more

The service is comically bad. It got to the point where 80% of the pub was stuck waiting in line due to bar tender incompetence

This is one of those must visit pubs in the Rocks. Okay, it may not be on the main strip, but it is still worth checking out, if only for their large collection of house brewed beers. They do have a pretty decent selection, which can be a little mystifying at times, but at least the staff are more than happy to give you a recommendation, or if not that, at least a couple of samples to try before you buy (though do remember to wash it down with water). The prices may not be the cheapest, and it does get really crowded on a Friday afternoon (though that seems to the the standard here in Sydney, especially with the good pubs) but it is certainly a place worth checking out. Oh, and the upstairs bar (which I discovered is a lot less packed) has a heap of beer bottles on the back wall with candles sticking out of them. Apparently at night they are lit. read more

I have to agree with Dom, Harts is all about the beer. I have been here quite a few times (taking advantage of their 5pm happy hour) and enjoyed more than a few pints. What is really good about this pub is that you can order a tasting board of beer. The only thing that stops me from rating this place higher is that the last time I went there, the burger that I had there (and I really love a good burger) was almost inedible. Just tasted burnt and was really lacking the high standard that I would expect at Harts. This is not going to stop me going back of course, but next time I might (as per Dom's suggestion) try the lamb. read more

Situated in The Rocks, Harts Pub is a quaint English pub with beautifully restored federation architecture. It also contains a microbrewery (The Rocks Brewing company) that produces a small, but quality selection of craft beer. The offerings on the tap changes regularly. Though I didn't eat when I was at harts, the food did look appetizing and a bit more sophisticated than what you would expect at a regular pub. There were dishes with unique names like The Hangman's Noose (a pasta dish) and Hart's Stopper Steak Sandwich. I went for drinks last Friday night for the best hour of the day: Happy Hour! Happy hour at Hart's is from 5PM-7PM, when you can enjoy a beer for around $5 a glass. I opted for one of their home-brewed blonde beer, which was crisp and refreshing. I believe it was called called The Governer's Golden Ale. On a beautiful afternoon, make sure to sit outside on their beautiful terrace on the top floor. Smoking is allowed up here, too. read more

We had a great dinner and bottle of wine here. We were staying at the Shangra La hotel and the pub is right behind it. We had the combo dinner, Steak, chips and a salad for about $25. We ordered a nice bottle of AU Shiraz too. The service was friendly the food was very good and the price was a deal for Sydney sit down dining. Highly recommend read more

Visited this place on a Friday lunch and got the pulled pork burger with the waffle fries upgrade along with the recommended beer. The food took a while to arrive, but it was delicious. There's lots of interesting quotes on the wall which are worth walking around reading. read more

A public house In the Rocks! Although I had only one beer here, which was the Rock's Brewery Convict Lager, I was able to walk in, ask a question, and get a beer within a minute. Stills haven't figured out the whole Schooner thing so I still order 500 mL. The Convict Lager and the Rock's Kolsch is better than any of the Microbrews I have near my place in Torrance. read more

Without a doubt, the best wings I've had in Sydney. For what it's worth, I'm a Canadian who imports Frank's Hot Sauce as I'm of the opinion that hot wings should not taste like ketchup. Unfortunately they've recently changed their menu and eliminated the Friendship Burger, and whomever is cooking now has changed the spices in the burger. "It tastes like a taco" is the feedback I heard. They had a fantastic thing going, and in this case, change is bad. read more

This place is a converted house! Great evening atmosphere. Game is on in most rooms. Beer is expensive but food looks good. I'm thinking this might be my new evening hangout. We've gone here quite a few times now. Unfortunately there is just not enough room. The food is definitely pretty good, and the beer is always plentiful. For a meal and drinks for two expect about $70. Unfortunately I have stopped trying to go here just because you can never get a seat. That doesn't mean that it is so good that you have to go out of your way to get here, honestly there's only about 30 seats in the entire place despite having about six rooms. There is an upstairs bar and a downstairs bar, the downstairs bar only serves drinks and the upstairs bar serves drinks and food. They have simplified their menu recently much to my chagrin. They no longer make the burgers "to order", you have to order the burger as is. That means you're paying $25 for a burger that you cannot tell them whether or not you want it, as medium rare or well-done nor can you change the toppings. Disappointing. I was hoping this would be my normal place but after going there about 10 times and being disappointed about five times I've stopped heading there at all. read more

Beer selection is fairly weak and the three brews we had were over done with crap flavors. Bloke working the bar seemed annoyed to be taking orders, was lazy, and rude. Cool little building. Overall skip if able. read more

Great pub. It's mostly about the beer here. They bring in craft brews from all over Australia; some nearby and some farther afield. Most are available in half-pint, schooner, and pint sizes, giving you lots of drinking portion choice. At any time there will be 8 to 10 beers and ciders that you'll rarely find on tap elsewhere. Nice. It's got a couple of levels with a choice of seating areas: high stools and tables, or lower tables and benches, all in light wood, with a couple of TVs hanging above. There's a more cozy private-ish room with big easy chairs. Upstairs is more dining-like (though you can eat anywhere). And there's outdoor seating up top too, in a sort of courtyard between buildings. The food that I've had has always been great, and I've had a top steak here. There are plenty of events on: trivia on Tuesdays, and there's always a sign for some beer tasting event of some sort. read more

We sat down, drank, ate weren't done but some yahoo came to our table and told us our table was reserved at 8pm. Lotsa others there. No one else was told we had to leave by 8. Left a poor memory read more

I really enjoyed my time here !! .... It's smallish, cosy ..... and full of character. The beer & Cider list long with craft beers a standout. I also had lunch which proved to be a surprise .... the quality, presentation, promptness and taste very high for what appears a hectic little business. I'm coming back and this time staying longer .... I will find a tight & cosy little spot .... park it .... and then work my way through that beer list ..... watching the world go by ..... and drifting back in time ...... feel like I'm there already ...... read more

Great food and a nice beer selection overall. The elvis burger was a lot bigger than I thought it would be but really good. The only thing that sucked was the lack of seating. Let me take that back, there was a lot of seating but it was all reserved for other people. We showed up at 5:30 and there were a good 7 or 8 tables with little chock boards that had names and times on them. Worth the food, but not the venue. read more

Great place that's away from the hustle and bustle. Looked primarily like a locals pub. Great for a family with an eight year old. Wonderful beer, fantastic food, not over crowded or noisy, plenty of places to sit and eat all around the pub. If I lived in Sydney, I'd go there all the time! read more

Come for a drink, don't stay for the food. Harts has a great selection unique beers, and you can opt for a $10 tasting paddle (which allows you to sample 4 beers of your choice) before making your final selection. Brush up on your alcohol-related philosophy while you sip, courtesy of the many quotes which adorn the walls. This little gem is one of my favourites: "Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink." -- Lady Astor to Winston Churchill "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it." -- His reply. Why then, I can hear you asking, did I give Harts only 2 stars? Because I like good food with my beer, and unfortunately the food at Harts is incredibly disappointing and overpriced. Sure its pub food, but its poor quality pub food. I ordered the special of the night - pot pie - which was a watery soup that was bordering on inedible. With the mains ranging from $20 - $30, you're better off somewhere (almost anywhere) else for dinner. read more

Walking around The Rocks on a weekday arvo and out of the corner of my eye I see the Harts Pub. And it looks open. I could be wrong but I'm not and I decide to hop in! It's a classic old pub with wooden floors, tables and chairs and even a couple of barrels to sit at. There is a court yard out the back which is nice and peaceful too. There is a selection of 'craft' beers to choose from and a great menu to accompany your drink. They'll even match them for you! It was hard to go past the lamb cutlets for my companion and "The Hart Stopper" steak sandwich for me. If my heart did stop, I would've been content but it didn't so it's all the better. Great little pub and certainly worth a pop in! read more

Lovely venue, an old house converted into a bar. Located between the CBD and the famous Rocks area of Sydney. Food is very good, as are the beers (most of which they brew themselves, thumbs up!). Loses one point for being a tad pricey... and yes, I know it's Sydney but $9.50 for a pint ($7.50 for a schooner) ain't great value. read more
