When it comes to pubs, there are certain features we're often on the lookout for — a rooftop setting and a fireplace to be exact. The Woollahra Hotel thankfully has both of these coveted spaces so that you're not left to choose between one or the other. The Terrace features a retractable roof which means the space can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the weather. If it's a sunny day, catch some rays on the rooftop bar — if it's cold, warm yourself by the fire and order some stodge.

The menu boasts a variety of delectable dishes and generous daily specials. Monday–Thursday you can enjoy $15 meals and a $5 happy hour (5–8pm), Thursdays it's all you can eat pizza for a neat $25, and should you wish to indulge in a fancy brunch come Saturday, you can get bottomless bellinis for $20 (12–3pm).
