Sydney pubs with fireplaces

The Lord Nelson
Sydney's oldest continually licensed hotel, the Nelson is convict-mined sandstone walls built around a roaring hearth and microbrewery. Pick up a ploughman's lunch and one of six award-winning ales brewed on premises and get settled.
The Rocks

The Lord Dudley
Enter the warmth of the Lounge Bar and you'll find an enormous fireplace roaring a welcome. Many a romance has blossomed here (including heavyweight icon Les Darcy, who worked as a barman here while wooing the licencee's daughter). Lunch (12pm-3pm) is lush and there are comfy sofas when the pub's full.
Woollahra

Cricketer's Arms
Cosy and rustic, cheap and chic - this Slurry Hills icon is the perfect place to grab a scotch or sparkling ale and while away a rainy arvo by the fire watching footy on teev, digging into tapas with a flatulent labrador dozing at your feet. A triumph of atmosphere over attitude.
Surry Hills

PJ Gallagher's Pub
With its dark floorboards, brass trims and fireside leather couches, PJ conjures the hearty spirit of Oirish taverns and then some. Throw in grand pub grub, Guinness and Kilkenny on tap and harbour views and your eyes will be sparkling too.
Drummoyne

3 Weeds
The Back Bar's cathedral ceilings rise o'er a glorious blazer best viewed with a unique tap beer in hand and sofa below.
Rozelle

Club Bar
Exquisitely situated, this Bar offers intimate vibes and an open fire best paired with cognac.
