The Duke of Clarence

I came for the Sunday roast and a good pint of beer. I wasn’t disappointed. I got the lamb roast and a three sheets ale and it was all delicious. I’m going back again for the Monday steak night special. I like the pub atmosphere the food is good and the service is quick. Don’t let the alley and the trash bins deter you. Update: I came back the next day for the steaks Monday special. The Monday steak was not as good as a Sunday Lamb. But I still enjoyed having a pint of lager with my meal.

Tucked away in the laneway but a lovely gem. Fantastic atmosphere and decorated like an old English pub. We had the Sunday Roast which was delicious and filling. They had a few different types to choose from. Service was great. Tiny venue so it’s not for a long session.

Was a bit hesitant to order the roast given some has reviewed it to be dry, but the lamb we ordered on a weeknight was delicious! The gravy was good, the yorkie was a bit dry but rest was delicious. The 20$ steak special was decent for the price but the steak was really chewy. Good fries! Scotch egg and the cocktail/drinks were delicious.

A real and proper British style pub experience. The hand-pulled ales are delicious, and true to form proper cask ales, meaning fermentation of sugars breaking down which causes the “fizz” and foam, as opposed to artificial carbonation. Atmosphere is relatively dark and cozy, just want you want for a pub nestled into the corner of an alley outside of the immediately hustle and bustle of the surrounding CBD area. Service was impeccable, very attentive and chatty, with great cocktails to boot. Great experience, even for just a duck in visit for a quick pint.

If you’re after a classic British-inspired pub experience right in the heart of Sydney, The Duke of Clarence is definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with vintage decor and a real old-London tavern feel that makes it a great choice for drinks with friends or a casual lunch. Their selection of cask ales, cocktails and whiskies is impressive, and the friendly service adds to the relaxed vibe. The food hits a lot of the traditional pub favourites, think fish finger sandwiches, Scotch eggs and hearty dishes and while some menu items can be a bit hit-and-miss on different visits, the overall experience is enjoyable and unique in Sydney’s bar scene. Cosy, characterful, and a fun spot for a drink… just be sure to book ahead if you’re planning to go on a weekend!

A great choices of spirits, beers and wine! A pub with character and charm The food is very good and the Sunday roasts are a standout Friend service with background music The bar area is clean and the chines of drinks are unlimited

This place is amazing. Set down an alley way and it’s like you’re walking into an old British pub. Great atmosphere and impeccable service. The Sunday roast was to die for. Will definitely be coming back.

Finally had the Roasts Sunday and it was very good. We ordered each of the beef, lamb and pork and were all scrumptious. The porchetta was melt in your mouth! Loved the Yorkshire pudding and all the veggies with the roasts.

What a hidden gem. Great atmosphere. Food was great. Service amazing. Enjoy a pub that's hidden away.

A very quant place that can be a challenge to find. To get in you need to go down an alley, past the rubbish bins and then up some stairs. The place reminds me of an English pub. We sat at the bar and had pulled bitters and an apple cider. Both were excellent. Food on a Sunday was a bit limited but what we saw looked good. Our bartender was from the U.S. and was very helpful. My only complaint is there is no AC and on a hot day it was needed.

This pub was great, though in part the real English feel is probably what gave it the characteristic that I quite liked. Actually, I probably should be more specific and that has to do with the fact that in parts you feel like you are sitting in a library, but not just any library, but an old library, full of old hard cover books, that happens to not just sell beer, but to sell some really nice beer. The other thing about this pub is that it happens to be hidden down a side alley, which also gives it quite a lot of charm, as if it is off the beaten track. Still, the fact that it was pretty crowded suggests that it is still rather well known.

Open Monday to Saturday - 12pm until 2am Sunday 12pm - 8pm A great new addition to the Sydney Bar Scene

Best old fashioned I've had in Sydney so far. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The mixologists are passionate, competitive and knowledgeable. Provided great recommendations on drinks and other local bars on the scene. Highly Recommended. Place gets very busy, but the cocktails are worth the wait.

Apple hot toddy here is pretty good. The ambience is amazing! Very English and in an alleyway. Should definitely stop by when in Sydney

Ordered roasts x 4 for mother's day .Everything was lovely,including the complimentary cocktail ( thank you ) The meat was tender and beautifully flavoured and there were more than sufficient vegetables and gravy.Yorkshire pud, light and great with all the gravy. Just a heads up- have the oven on and be prepared to heat everything up as it comes cold, we micro-d and kept things in the oven until ready to serve, It's good to have that info ahead of time. Only one choice of dessert though for hm delivery, so maybe have favourites on hand if you have food allegies. GF was catered for with main meal though.
