Its becoming harder and harder to find old pubs that still have character and have not been tarted up. This is one of the few that are left. The East Sydney Hotel opened in 1856,is a lovely old pub, renovated rather than restored, it has warmth and atmosphere.
It also has a darts board, pressed metal
ceiling, walls covered by old photos and posters, and a commemorative plaque above the corner seat of a former regular. A definite plus is that it has no pokies (poker machines) which is extremely rare these days.
