Nothing says winter quite like sticky date pudding. Warm, rich, cosy, and absolutely not here to be shared unless you’re feeling dangerously generous. Come in for the pub feed, stay for the ultimate winter dessert.

Today’s the day! Christmas in July has arrived at the Fortune of War and yes, we are absolutely making a thing of it. Mulled wine, a festive feast, decorations, giveaways and enough Christmas spirit to make July feel confused. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Missed out? Don’t sulk into your pint just yet. Tomorrow’s Sunday Roast is turkey, so you can still get your Christmas fix — no Santa hat required 🎅🏻

Steve & Joy came for a pint and left as unofficial Fortune merch ambassadors. Love the Fortune of War? Wear it. Drink with it. Gift it to someone who definitely already owns enough pub merch. Hats, jumpers, tees, stubby holders and more are all available now at the bar or online. Take home your piece of Sydney’s oldest pub! 🍻

Bonjour from The Rocks! The Rocks Bastille Festival starts today and we're getting in the French spirit. Expect French food, wine, music and a very reasonable excuse to drop in for a pint. Vive la France, vive la pub!

Around the bar, the stories have been flowing for nearly 200 years. Old friendships kept close, new ones made, and conversations that feel right at home. That’s Sydney's oldest pub.

Winter at the Fortune of War is getting busy in the best way! We've got Bastille next weekend, Christmas in July the week after, and plenty of pub goodness and live entertainment to keep you happy in between. See you at the bar!

It's a big weekend at the Fortune of War! Wallabies v Ireland on the big screen tonight (or join us for a pre-game pint if you're heading to the game), followed by our Sunday Roast tomorrow, and not one but two Glenns on the mic. Football, gravy and live music. That’s culture, if you ask us 🍻

Australia v Ireland is on this Saturday, and we’re getting around it at the Fortune of War. Join us pre-match before you jump on the light rail to Moore Park, or settle in and catch the game on the big screen with cold pints, proper pub feeds and a bit of friendly yelling at the screen. Lovely stuff! 🍺
