Book NowAbout The Royal George
Mere steps from Wynyard, this George Street institution trades slick corporate gloss for proper pub grit and cold schooners. Knock-off crowds pack the ground floor for happy hour, while the backroom runs games around an antique pool table. Upstairs pours from a first-floor bar, and the kitchen stays open late when nearby spots pack it in. Patrons lean on the juicy, crusty chicken schnitzel—served fast alongside heaps of hot chips.
- Prime Wynyard Location: Positioned right across from Wynyard station on George Street, ideal for commuter stops and knock-off drinks.
- Heritage Billiards: An antique pool table anchors the ground-floor backroom beneath classic heritage surroundings.
- Late-Night Kitchen: Full kitchen trade runs late into the night with hot burgers and hearty pub plates when other CBD kitchens shut down.
- Crisp Pub Schnitty: Patrons regularly order the juicy, crisp-crusted chicken schnitzel served with generous portions of hot chips.

Why Visit The Royal George
Why Sydney locals and commuters choose The Royal George for drinks, pool, and late-night eats.
Prime Wynyard Transit Convenience
Positioned directly opposite Wynyard station on George Street, it provides rapid counter and table service for a seamless pitstop during delays or post-work commutes.
The light rail was stopped so I stopped in at the George. Great decision. Chips and a schooner for under $20 and very pleasant surroundings
andrew pocock Late-Night CBD Kitchen Service
While most CBD dining kitchens shut early, the kitchen keeps serving satisfying full meals like burgers, lamb shank, and pub classics late into the night.
Friendly staff, tasty food available late at night when everywhere else is closed. The Fried Chicken Burger was filling and amazing.
Thomas John Dedicated Ground-Floor Pool Room
The ground-floor backroom hosts a classic antique billiards table, making it a focal point for friendly competition over drinks.
A bar on the first floor, the massive pool table in the backroom down on the ground floor. The ambiance of this pool room is great. I'd love to go back to hang out over a few drinks
Mariachi out of the Jar Buzzing Post-Work Gathering Hub
As the working day finishes, the pub transforms into a lively social destination where city professionals and friends gather for happy hour pints.
The pub is crowded with Wynyard office workers after 5pm. I love seeing that happy hour apero! Great pub.
Yumi Heritage Charm and Warmth
With its classic wooden fixtures, heritage character, and cosy interiors, the venue offers a comforting traditional pub atmosphere distinct from sterile modern bars.
The antique pool table is a real standout and gives the whole room such a classic, historic atmosphere. Great happy hour prices too!
Tina Johami Welcoming Hospitality Day to Night
Attentive, welcoming hospitality makes solo travelers, international visitors, and night owls feel instantly at ease in the heart of Sydney.
Every time I go they are always so welcoming and friendly. Vibes are also immaculate here. Could recommend this place more to end off a night in the city.

Before you head over
Practical advice for timing your visit, finding seating, and shooting pool
Time Your Pool Games for Off-Peak Hours
The downstairs antique pool table is singular and closely surrounded by dining tables, making games difficult during peak evening rushes. Visit earlier or during quieter periods for a clear game.
Arrive Before the After-Work Rush
Peak commuter and after-work crowds pack the venue quickly from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on weekdays. Arrive early to secure seating and take advantage of afternoon happy hour offerings.
Rely on Late-Night Food Service
When CBD dining options wind down, hot pub classics and burgers remain available late into the night across from Wynyard station.
