The Lord Wolseley is officially the narrowest pub in NSW and has got to be one of the smallest but what it is most famous for is its beer. The pub has been around since 1881 and the pipes have been looked after with much tender, love and care over the decades.
This allows the Wolseley taps to pour the freshest Carlton or VB this side of the Nullabor and keeps the bar busy seven days a week. The pub has sat discreetly on the corner of Quarry St and Bulwara Rd since 1881 and to this day it remains one of Ultimo’s best kept secrets.
Most of the regulars have drunk here for most of their entire adult life and are always willing to tell you a yarn about the pub. For the price of a middy, the pub mascot Keithy will sit with you for an hour or two and unravel a detailed history of the area.
He will tell you about the notorious Aussie criminal Neddy Smith who drank here in the eighties and how one day he fired a couple of shots into the wall to stop an argument. There is also the legend of Abo Henry savagely attacking a police officer in the back alley many years ago.
You can ask about the origins of the massive propeller hanging on the far wall, but that is the one thing none of the punters really seems to know about. To this day, that propeller remains one of the few mysteries of the bar.

As soon as the bistro changed hands six months ago, it became an instant hit with the locals.
No matter what your preference, the bistro caters to every appetite.
They make a mean chicken Pad Thai or if you want something more Aussie, the Wolseley club sandwich is fast becoming the talk of Ultimo.
No matter what your fancy, anyone who eats at our bistro leaves wearing the grin of satisfaction.
