The best pub food in Sydney

There is a comforting familiarity to the pub menu in Sydney. Nine times out of ten you'll find a steak, burgers, schnitzel, fish and chips, nachos and salt and pepper squid on there. If you're lucky there'll be a pot pie. There also might be pizzas, which will get the job done, even if they'd make a Neapolitan faint. And just maybe you'll land on one of the Sydney venues that are branching out and seeing if they can't raise the bar for pub fare. Our local watering holes provide good eats, and here's where they do it best.
