Kings Cross & Potts Point
Not a poker machine is in sight at this beautiful traditional corner boozer in a quiet area of Woolloomooloo. Open since 1856, it's a place of great character, perfect for sipping a quiet schooner of beer while reading the paper. Uncomplicated pub grub is also available.
Upstairs there are some rooms (double without bathroom $120 to $150) if you get attached to the place.
