Originally established in 1881 to service the drinking needs of Rozelle’s rough-and-ready working-class locals, the pub has gone the same way as the suburb itself and been gentrified to the hilt, but it’s a rich and sympathetic refurb we’re talking about here. No shiny chrome in sight: instead, the 3 Weeds is all dark wood, recycled timber, fireplaces, antique couches and a kitchen garden.
What was once a blue collar neighbourhood is now a desirable postcode with a family-friendly bent. It might not be the exclusive domain of wharvies and labourers anymore, but Rozelle still displays its working class roots in the solid collection of pubs dotted along its streets, and they're worth a butcher's hook when you're in the area.
