Dave's Pub Tours is run by a team who love their city and its pubs. They also love telling stories over a beer.

Uncovering the history of a place, discovering its characters, myths, legends and bringing that to life through storytelling is what they’re good at.

They’re self-confessed history and beer nerds, and they created Dave’s Pub Tours to provide fun, informative and laid back tour experiences for anyone keen to learn a little bit more about Sydney’s colourful history, with a drink or three thrown in for good measure!

Focusing on some of Sydney’s most historic neighbourhoods, including the legendary Rocks, the underbelly of Balmain, the gangster’s paradise of old Surry Hills and even the City’s thieving past, Dave’s Pub Tours delves into the murk with stories you won’t find in the history books.

They look forward to sharing a few stories and a drink with you.

Balmain Pub Walk

Duelling colonists, escaped convicts, gangsters, football players that can’t be killed and all of them in the place that has more pubs per person than anywhere else in Australia! Balmain is Sydney's most famous 'pub-urb' and the pubs here have seen it all, convicts, movie stars, gangsters, Olympians and even been the birthplace of a major political party. Dave's Pub Walks 2.5 hour tour weaves through the streets and stories of Balmain, visiting four of its most iconic pubs where you can enjoy a choice of craft beer or wine in each.

$80 per person

City Pub Walk (Sydney Pub Tour)

Politicians, governors and professional's hands grease the wheels to keep the economy running, but occasionally those fingers get a little sticky. Come find out how business really gets done in the big end of town on The City Pub Walk. On this 2.5 hour walking tour you’ll meet the scammers and fraudsters (not always politicians), who bashed, murdered and (in one case) robbed the whole state to achieve their KPIs. Between tales of greed for green, you’ll enjoy a few craft beers or wines in four of Sydney’s finest bars and pubs. Tour highlights include The heist of 1828; Jack Lang, bank robber; The hop thief; Rum rebellion; The first execution; The Mad Dentist; Sydney’s dog day afternoon; The Pub Bank; John Boston's brewery; Old George Street; The pugilists pub; The Big Mac; Bridge Street affray; The Lobster woman; and more. This tour is perfect for corporate groups, so groups of four or more can book privately at anytime. Email the operator to enquire.
