History and drinking have always gone hand-in-hand in Sydney and The Rocks is where it all began.While some convicts brewed beer in secret, their jailers rolled in rum by the shipload. With 65 000 litres arriving on the First Fleet alone! In the fledgling, port-side convict colony, it wasn’t long before hard liquor became standard currency and no good story started without it.
Welcome back to that time!
