Food and Drink Tasting
Balmain is one of Australia’s most famous ‘pub-urbs’, due to it having the highest pub to people ratio in the country, so if you’re looking for fun things to do in Sydney, we think this Balmain walking pub tour will be perfect!
You’ll enjoy a two-and-a-half-hour walking pub tour, where your expert guide will give you the low-down on the history of the area while you indulge in a little beer or wine tasting.
You’ll weave through the streets of Balmain, visit four of the most iconic pubs in the area, and have the opportunity to enjoy a craft beer or glass of wine in each location. The pubs here have seen plenty of action over the years, from convicts and movie-stars to Olympians, gangsters and even the launch of a major political party - you’ll be fascinated!
Important tour information:
  • We will meet at East Village Hotel, 82 Darling St, Balmain East at 2.30 pm.
  • The tour will wrap up at approximately 5 pm at The Riverview Hotel, Balmain.
  • This tour accommodates a minimum of three guests. Your order will be confirmed once we have filled three seats on the tour.
  • Because our tours are truly behind the scenes experiences sometimes our plans need to change to accommodate brewery operations. And sometimes we just know about beer goings-on around town that are worth checking out, so we may change some parts of our tours. Whilst these changes are rare, we do reserve the right to make them. If you do have a must-see beer spot, please let us know when making your booking and we’ll do all we can to make it happen.
Please note: For larger groups of 12 to 20 people, a $500 charter fee will be charged. For any groups larger than 20, please contact us for charter fee prices.
What you'll get
  • A two-and-a-half-hour walking pub tour of Balmain with a knowledgable guide
  • Your choice of craft beer or wine in each of the four iconic pubs
What to bring
Just wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

“At Dave’s, we’re all about showing you local as we love it all; food, drinks, history, and culture. Come explore with us on tour!”
Our philosophy is simple – collaboration. We love bringing people together to taste and experience the craftsmanship of our local producers.
Whether that is on a behind the scenes brewery tour, a walk back in time through our pub culture on a pub walk, or a corporate event – everything we do is about connecting more people to local communities.
In doing so, we are supporting the passions and dreams of those who are bringing to market some of the finest products available and making visitors aware of the toil and strife that goes into producing great drinks and food.
To us, it’s more than the art and science. It’s the stories, the legends, the scars of effort and devotion to doing something different. It’s about connecting people who are passionate about what they produce with those who are equally as passionate about what they consume.
