The Rocks, NSW

Established in 1828 by former convict Samuel Terry, the Fortune of War is Sydney's oldest continuously licensed pub. Located in The Rocks, it has long been a favorite among locals, sailors, and soldiers, known as the "first and last stop ashore." The current building, rebuilt in 1921 by Tooth & Co., retains its heritage features, including the original hamper bar, high ceilings, and timber fittings. In 2025, the pub expanded with the addition of Bistro 1828, a 60-seat bistro named in honor of its founding year, offering a modern dining experience while preserving its historic charm.
