This pub is small but full of characters. I love the lime stone interiors and decoration, it feels like we are in an idyllic English village. We first…

In the Hero of Waterloo bar for a casual beer with a friend just before Christmas. When I went to pay $17 for two beers with my debit card the barman said there would be a $2 surcharge ( yes, two dollar) for use of cards. I told him it was debit, with no fees to him or HoW. He said it didn’t matter all cards are charged $2. Naturally I paid with cash and left after one beer. This outrageous impost on card payments is out of control in Sydney. Take your business elsewhere until merchants get sense.
Hands down the worst meal I’ve even eaten. The meal took an extremely long time to come out and when it did it was cold and for $17 for a chicken burger I expect a lot more than a tiny piece of chicken with half a piece of tomato on a roll with brown avocado. Would never eat here again.
An okay meal for a Friday lunch. Unfortunately Lord Nelson hotel was booked out, so The Hero of Waterloo had to try and meet my high expectations – some could say they were doomed from the start. A fabulous interior and welcoming staff. I ordered the fish and chips which was average, the chips were definitely under par, chips are a major make or break for me. No wow factor and probably won’t be back, but I’ve heard this place has a great vibe on a Friday or Saturday night.
Great place for a beer if you’re in The Rocks. I wouldn’t bother with the food again but it’s a traditional old little pub with a lot of character!
Great food & service, we also had the cellar museum tour.Definitely try the tapas menu and ask for a table upstairs (less crowded, more of a proper restaurant dinning feeling)
As good as their historic building is, their food is just the opposite! This place may be good for drinks, but do not make the mistake of ordering food here. Extremely bland & unimpressive pub food, especially given the number of good choices in the neighbourhood. Oh, and if you decide to pay by credit card, you get slugged $5 to use Amex & $2 for other cards. Must be the only place that charges a flat fee, instead of a percentage of transaction value. Very poor indeed & I for one will not be going here again!
$2 card charge no matter what you purchase. $5 for Amex/Diners. It put a bad taste in my mouth, The Lord Nelson is much better.
