About The Duke of Clarence

Tucked down a Clarence Street alleyway, The Duke of Clarence brings an authentic nineteenth-century tavern right to the heart of the Sydney CBD. Salvaged oak panelling, antique oil paintings, and an active fireplace insulate the room from modern city noise. Patrons gather over hand-pulled cask ale, botanical gins, or a warm Irish coffee layered with heavy sweet cream. On weekends, the kitchen centres on a generous, all-day Sunday roast—thick cuts of beef, pork, or lamb piled beside roasted potatoes, carrots, broccolini, and scratch-made Yorkshire puddings built to hold gravy.

  • Period Tavern Atmosphere: Tucked down an alley with salvaged wood panelling, loaded bookshelves, and a working fireplace.
  • Traditional Sunday Roasts: Generous weekend plates of beef, pork, or lamb with roast potatoes, seasonal veg, and Yorkshire puddings.
  • Cask Ales & Classic Drinks: Traditional hand-pulled cellar cask ales poured alongside house-made warm Irish coffees and spirits.

  • Hidden Laneway Sanctuary

    Tucked down an obscure Clarence Street alleyway, the tavern offers a warm retreat from the busy Sydney city streets outside.

    Imagine their surprise when they stumbled across The Duke of Clarence, hidden down an obscure laneway, unnoticed during daylight hours. The food, beer, service, fireplace and the company of strangers all lifted the spirits

  • Historic 19th-Century Tavern Setting

    Wood furnishings, a working fireplace, antique art, and shelves of real books recreate an authentic 19th-century tavern.

    Very old England, with its fireplace, countless books and old paintings.

  • House-Crafted Warm Irish Coffees

    Guests gather over rich warm Irish coffees layered with thick cream alongside well-poured pints of Guinness.

    The Irish coffee was also extremely delicious! It was my first time trying it, and the combination of sweet cream and bitter coffee was truly exquisite.
