If you’re wandering around the historic streets of The Rocks and fancy a decent craft beer, then Harts Pub is well worth putting on your pub crawl list.

This fabulous little pub occupies what was once three separate townhouses, located at 10–14 Essex Street. The heritage-listed building is known as the Harts Buildings, giving the place plenty of history before you even get through the front door.

Harts Pub has been championing Sydney’s craft beer scene since 2009, so naturally, it was right up our alley. Well, at least in theory!

Inside, you’ll find 12 rotating taps featuring a selection of craft beers. So, whether you’re a fan of a traditional brew or enjoy trying something a little different, there’s a fair chance you’ll find something to tickle your tastebuds.

There’s also a food menu covering everything from burgers to classic pub favourites. Just the ticket for lining the stomach before continuing your exploration of Sydney’s historic pub scene.

Harts is another one of our favourites whenever we’re visiting Sydney. Good beer mostly, some not to our taste, good food and plenty of character. It’s becoming a bit of a habit really!

Our verdict: Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring The Rocks. Just don’t blame us if one beer turns into two… or three!
