Pyrmont Bridge Hotel

Rooftop bar, with rooftop views on the 2nd and 3rd floor. It was pretty crowded on the first floor. Less and less as you go up. Good prices. Music is low enough that you can talk at a normal level.

Old pub with appeal. Stopped in on a warm summer day to hydrate so we could walk around some more. Pub had all you needed with regard to libation potential. We had some mixers and were on our way. The barteneder was pleasant and tis establishment took credit cards. Enjoy!

A good go-to pub in Pyrmont, but they need to seriously find a solution to replace the only option to get to upper levels. Stairs with no handrails is a safety issue and must be addressed before we will be going back. Great views from the upper deck just a shame on the stairs. Overall a good place to have a quick beer with a colleague. Staff seem friendly.

This is our corner pub. Stop by anytime for brunch, late lunch, dinner or after work beer before heading home. Tons of character and great food. We had guineas beef pie special and it was just delicious.

3 stories building and there is another car in the 2nd floor. Sometimes they have a band playing, good happy hour and many flat TVs to watch games on. Good place to hang out. Stop by when you're near!

This is a classic pub with good food located conveniently to the Lyric Theatre. If you don't want to get into the mad crush in the food court before the show, eat hear and then walk two blocks to the theatre.

The salads we had were fresh, with tasty ingredients and excellent dressing. Service was friendly and efficient.

This is an interesting pub. I'd been here late for drinks after a conference once before and found it good. But I came here for dinner on a Wednesday, and found myself in the trivia room! What fun that was! They have regulars who are incredibly friendly and great prizes if you happen to win. Definitely worth spending a Wednesday evening with them.

They also had good food specials - free chicken wings with a jug purchase and $10 burgers. Can't really go wrong!

I'm sort of in two minds about this place. It is pretty close to where the action is, has some decent beers on tap, and the downstairs bar is pretty cool, however there was a vibe about this place that I really didn't like. I've actually been here a couple to times (and both times it was pretty packed). However the second time the place just didn't feel right. Fortunately there was an upstairs area with an balcony, but that is mainly for the smokers. Still the balcony does have a reasonable view across Darling Harbour to the city. However, there are better places around, and I doubt I'd visit this pub again.

Great little local hotel/bar. Has happy during the week from 4-6. Stopped for a late lunch around 4pm. My husband had the Tomahawk steak and I had the Chicken Schnitzel. The food was fabulous as well as the draft beer selections. For being so close to Darling Harbour, the prices were well under what we would have expected to pay. Would definitely visit here again!

The service at this place sucks. Sat here for 20 minutes no response. Had several people walk by glance and keep on walking. Not typical for Oz.
Plenty of other places to recommend on the water. Avoid this one

Secrets! This place is full of *secrets*!

My fetish for classic old man boozers is well documented, which is why I love the street level area of this 24hr pub so much. Oh, I mentioned its 24hrs, right? As in, you could trot down there at 6am and have a schooey of Toohey's Old if you wanted to. Yep.

But what I recently discovered is the upstairs level. And the level above that. And they're both awesome. With multi-level floors, different rooms and areas, smaller bars, lounge areas, smoking rooms, and a huge outdoor bar with views over Darling Harbour, I felt like I'd dropped down the rabbit hole. A big, boozy, fantastic rabbit hole where they serve beer and $8 steaks.

They also have the Man or Mouse Challenge, where you come in at night, pay peanuts for gigantic meals, and win the admiration of your peers if you finish them all. Here's the run sheet:

Monday - $15 monster chicken burger challenge
Tuesday - $12 jungle curry chilli challenge
Wednesday - $15 burger as big as your head challenge
Thursday - $20 1kg rump steak challenge
Friday - $20 USA pork rib rack challenge

Gauntlet = thrown.
