  • Unpretentious Heritage Charm

    Unlike over-developed modern venues, the pub preserves its authentic Art Deco character and comfortable, welcoming charm.

    This hotel has not, unlike most in Sydney, been renovated to death.

  • Complimentary Hospitality from the Bar

    Patrons in the bar enjoy genuine, welcoming hospitality complete with surprise complimentary finger foods brought around by staff.

    even to the point where they bring out Korean spicy chicken wings and cheese triangles.

  • Dedicated Kids Play Area for Families

    A dedicated indoor play room stocked with toys allows children to stay entertained while parents relax over meals in the bistro.

    The kids went off to the play area and were kept amused there, playing with toys and with many other kids who were here.

Hearty pub classics and bistro favourites at The Nelson

  • Steak

    Amazing quality steaks. I was blown away on the flavour that was in the steak. Sides were fantastic too.

    Chris Donaldson

  • Parmy

    Best parmy i've had at a sydney pub. The shnitzel was good quality, chips were fantastic, and the salad did its job. Two things put this parmy over the edge: portion size (massive), and the self-serve gravy/sauce bar.
