The Erko's art-deco glory is something to behold, and it also happens to be one of the area's best pubs. The wood-lined beer garden, local characters, range of curious spaces to drink in, and good pub food served in generous portions makes it a real gem of the community. Unusually for Sydney pubs, it's even got some street-side tables.
