Welcome to the pub that rocks the Rocks

One of Sydney’s most iconic pubs, and one of the oldest: serving fine food and drink since 1844 in the heart of the historic Rocks district.

The Orient Hotel is a must-visit destination in Sydney, with something to tempt thirsty locals and visitors alike.

With live music seven days a week, great food served all day ’til late, a tree-shaded courtyard and stylish terrace bar overlooking cobbled laneways, the Orient is a Sydney landmark, proud to be the pub that rocks the Rocks.

The Orient & Mrs Jones

On the ground floor of the Orient, the Public Bar hosts live bands every day of the week and the courtyard beer garden is a welcome spot to escape the bustle of Sydney’s harbourside precinct.

Up on the first floor, you’ll find Mrs Jones, our dining area and terrace bar named after one of the hotel’s earliest licencees, Jane Jones.

With sliding glass walls and a retractable roof, Mrs Jones’ Terrace garden bar is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious cocktail and great dining overlooking the cobbled laneways of the Rocks.
