"We built the pub we wanted to drink in."

— The Moreton family, founders

Since 1998

From shearers' cookhouse to The Rocks

The Moretons ran camp kitchens through the Riverina for a decade before trading the swag for sandstone. The recipes came with them — so did the rule that nobody leaves hungry or unwelcome.

1998
Doors open on George Street — 40 seats, one grill, a piano.
2007
Gaming licence granted — the casino floor opens upstairs.
2026

The kangaroo loin is the best thing I've eaten in Sydney this year. And I eat out for a living.
