Great food, reasonable price, nice staff. My only complaint is that the mussels were really tiny this time. When ordered previous visits they were large and plump.

The food and staff were both amazing. It was very busy with the markets but the staff were always available to help. I was a little disappointed to not get soda bread with the stew, but think they had run out but everything else was great! Thank you!

Best pub in The Rocks! Friendly staff, great food and awesome live music. It's so good to be able to have a boogie / dance in the city. Totally recommend The Mercantile at The Rocks in Sydney, it never fails to give us a happy memorable night.

Lovely, friendly staff, good music, food is average but they have great chips, in our party of 6 one meal needed to be sent back as the Shamrock pie was still frozen in the middle, the superfast replacement was perfect, very loud and happy atmosphere, well done to the staff :)

We went there for the live music and a meal, and weren't disappointed. The mussels in white wine sauce (we added Chili) were fantastic. Enjoyed the fish and chips as well. Recommended!

We had a great time at the Mercantile. We met friends and family for lunch on Australia Day. As always the food was great, as was the hospitality. It’s become our family favourite!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Nothing better than the feels of a home cooked meal on a cold winter's night. Great old pub with a great atmosphere! Will be back!

Our booking was all there at the allocated time. Good meals and vibe, though the live music made it a little loud to talk while having our dinner. We moved table and then it was fine.
