The Hero of Waterloo Hotel

The Hero of Waterloo Hotel is a heritage-listed establishment operating since 1843 in Millers Point, Sydney. The venue occupies a convict-built colonial building featuring hand-chiselled sandstone walls, log fires, and original period architecture.

Seating capacities range from 12 to 46 persons for sit-down dining, with cocktail-style arrangements supporting up to 150 persons in the Main Bar. The venue offers fully-staffed service for events including birthday parties, weddings, conferences, and celebrations. A fully licensed restaurant serves modern Australian cuisine, and live music performances feature folk, jazz, and soul acts on weekends. The historic cellar contains original shackles and a documented smuggler's tunnel, available for guided tours with function bookings. The venue maintains outdoor areas and provides catering options through its restaurant menu.
