From the pub to Parliament House! 🍷

A wonderful afternoon celebrating the people, places and passion behind Australia's incredible w**e and hospitality scene at the 2026 Australia's W**e List of the Year Awards.

We were delighted to be there showing our support and raising a glass to the talented sommeliers, venues and hospitality professionals who continue to make Australia's w**e scene so special.

Cheers to another fantastic year! 🥂

What's that we see on the horizon?

A familiar sight and a mighty fine b**r.

Three Sheets looking right at home by the Harbour Bridge.

Come grab a cold one at The Lord!

Drink Responsibly.

A good pub is so much more than four walls and a place to pull up a chair.

It’s in the care behind every dish, the w**e poured with purpose, the perfectly pulled pint, and the familiar faces that make you feel right at home.

A little history, a lot of heart, and passion woven into every detail.

That’s The Lord Nelson.

A little something to raise a glass to! 🍷🏆

We're incredibly proud to have taken home Best W**e List at the 2026 AHA NSW Awards for Excellence.

A huge thank you to the for the recognition, and to our wonderful team who bring their passion for great w**e to The Lord Nelson every day.

Here's to many more good drops shared around the table. Cheers! 🍷

A sundae, the Nelson way.

Introducing the Brewer's Sundae, a rather sweet addition to our Spring into Summer bar menu.

Vanilla and chocolate ice cream, ale caramel, stout brownie, grain toffee, crumble and whipped cream. Made for sharing, but we won't judge if you don't.

Now serving at The Lord. $24.

25/10/2026

Sunday plans? We've got a roast with your name on it.

Come hungry, stay for a pint.

23/10/2026

Praise the Lord! Looks like the old Nelson's still got it! 🍻

Four AHA Award nominations have come our way, and we couldn't be more chuffed.

Best Draught B**r Quality
Best W**e List
Best Sunday Roast
Best Restaurant

Good b**r, hearty food and a pub full of character. It's what we've always been about, and it's nice to see it getting a little love.

Hats off to the crew behind it all. Four nominations, plenty to celebrate. Now, bring on the big night!

Same old charm, a fresh coat of paint.

It's been a little while since we spruced up our rooms upstairs, but we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane with a little before and after.

A few things have changed, but it's still The Lord you know and love.

Book your stay online.

21/10/2026

Cup Day at The Lord. A fine excuse for a long lunch.

With upstairs now fully booked, we're keeping the celebrations going downstairs in the bar.

Join us for all the action live and loud, an elevated Cup Day menu, all-day dining and a few prizes for those dressed to impress.

Secure your spot downstairs with a $50 deposit per person, credited to your table on the day.

Col has worked with us for over 43 years and we feel very honoured and grateful that he has spent all that time with us.

Harvested from pristine waterways, freshly shucked Sydney Rock Oysters are the perfect accompaniment to either our award winning w**e list or range of natural ales.

Drink responsibly.

Praise the Lord, Forty Knots is hitting the road!

We're heading to this Monday for State of Brews, bringing our brew team and a very special pour of our iconic Forty Knots Anniversary Ale along for the occasion.

A limited-release Lord Nelson favourite, good b**r and a chance to talk all things brewing with the team behind it.

Join us for a knock-off pint (or two).
📍 Pumphouse, Darling Square

Praise the Lord for a good pour.
