What sets The Edinburgh Castle apart from other Sydney pubs?
The Edinburgh Castle is a timeless testament to the spirit of the city's traditional pubs and historic hotels. Preserved by the laughter and spirit of tales past, the hotel's walls were once a refuge to some of the country's most famed creatives. It is a storied pub known as Henry Lawson's chosen writing nook, quenching thirst and bearing witness to some of his greatest poems and short stories.
Today, Edinburgh Castle enters a new era by rewriting the rules on Sydney pubs. The Edinburgh Castle Hotel is one of the most popular pubs in Sydney CBD for working lunches, after-work drinks, pre-dinner drinks and late-night revelry. With 14 beers on tap, an extensive bistro menu, TAB & Keno facilities, pool tables and TVs showing all the latest sports, The Edinburgh Castle is the place to be!
