    What a great find! I was looking for a new place to eat in the city and chanced upon the pub. Very glad I did.

    A group of us decided to try this venue for a work colleagues lunch. Perfect weather and we had a table outside well removed from other customers. Was peaceful and relaxed under the fig trees and we all commented on it being a good choice. Food was better than expected and a great range of craft beers. We will be back for sure.

    We were grateful we moved to a table with lower chairs in a quiet corner of the beer garden as the high stools were too much for my 82 year old mother. The food was very good quality. We liked the leafy outlook under the trees. If I had know about the high stools when booking I would not gave chosen that area so maybe put that in the booking info. We were grateful it was quiet in the corner as we were trying to catch up with old friends away from the Vivid madness and were staying in the Rocks.

    Despite what this app says- Customs House Bar does not take bookings- BEWARE. I booked a table for 6 people- confirmation sent to my phone. Staff say they do not take bookings and were quite offhand about the fact. Luckily we got a table so it worked out well. Bar itself is good, nice to sit outside, drinks reasonable.
