(3622)

Built in 1914 and opened in 1915, The Mercantile was established to replace the old Mercantile Rowing Club Hotel. The rowing club's lease on their old site down by the water's edge expired in 1911 and so they moved their club to Mosman, becoming the Mosman Rowing Club that we know today. The Mercantile has traded continuously since 1915 on the site at 25 George St. Located adjacent to the iconic S

ydney Harbour Bridge in the historic 'Rocks' precinct, the pub has welcomed people from all over the world to experience its famous hospitality and good times. Over almost 100 years The Mercantile has earned a reputation as the home of Irish music in Australia and a place where unforgettable memories are made.

We've been pouring pints for over 111 years, but our rooftop's only a few months old - and it might just be the best addition yet.

Open skies, harbour views and a cold pint in hand.

If you haven't seen it, you haven't really seen The Merc. Come check it out for yourself.
