First stop on the pub trail any time there are visitors (business or pleasure) to Sydney. Excellent beer, great pork pies and a relaxing, fun environment. By far my favourite pub in Sydney (and therefore Australia).

Love the smell of the hops. Great pub. Last visit though was with three friends after work. 3 shouts and 12 pints later, wife not happy, work next day was tortorous - but the beer was good, which is why the shouts kept flowing - was worth it.

Went to the Nelson a few nights ago and loved it. The in-house brews were absolutly brilliant, I was actually wondering if they bottle any of it? The pork pies are a great pub meal, just use the mustard-o-doom in small quantities :)

Some of the best beer in town. An upscale joint where you pay some moderately expensive prices. I wish I had more time to hang out there because the place would have gotten a little more cozy.

Hej Alex, you can piss back off to Sweden and drink that Falcon SHIT for 50sek. Of course if you're like any other Swede you would probably drink Carlsberg.

Best beer, best atmosphere, best pub food and best mixed crowd in Sydney. Obviuosly this equates to the best pub in Sydney. And if your still not convinced just remember, It's all about the beer.

This is the place to buy the best beer in the world. If you don't like this pub you've probably suffered from some sort of brain damage and I've stopped liking you. I have tried each of the beers here and they have not been equalled by any beer I've ever tried. If I were to be told that I was only allowed to have one more drink in my life I would run to the Lord Nelson for a pint of Old Admiral. Those who think otherwise are dummies...I love you Lord Nelson

The Lord Nelson is on of the things I miss most about Sydney. What I wouldn't do for a pint of Old Admiral and a ploughmans right now. Although, the place has never been the same since the cleaning girl left with the cat.

Of all the "historic" pubs of The Rocks the Lord Nelson has the best vibe. Excellent brews, great crowd and atmosphere. Not as cozy as some of the "regulars" but a great stop. Love the "Nelson's Blood" porter -- smoky and rich.

Ho Ho Ho someone from Manchester (the home of Bodington's - eeeew) claiming to know anything about beer! What a larf!

The Old Admiral is just brilliant! Tried the Three Sheets and Nelson's Blood but they don't come close. Good food, but a little pricey. A pity it is in a residential zone and has to close so early.

Gav Leary from Australia
The home brews are pretty good, but not as good as mine! I'll challenge anyone in a brew-off any day, even using a lousy can of Bi-Lo Draught!

Jarrod from Manchester
No doubt that the beers are good, but the girls behind the bar have no clue about the brews themselves!! pity!

Incorporated The Nelson into a recent pub crawl; the beer is excellent, and worth the $6 a pint. Worth the visit just to try some quality beer.
