ENDEAVOUR TAP ROOMS

A part of me thought that I had literally visited every single pub in the rocks, that is until I stumbled across this place. Okay, maybe it wasn’t around when I was first here, but upon seeing it one Sunday morning I knew I had to come back and check it out. Well, needless to say the place was nothing short of awesome. Okay, maybe it had a lot to do with the craft beers on tap, though the place is pretty touristy. Then again it is The Rocks.

They have outstanding beers, all Australian grown and produced as well as the wines and soft drinks. I also had the most amazing sparkling! They also serve food and the brisket sliders were incredible. This place is a must visit!
