The
Australian Heritage Hotel and The Glenmore Hotel, The Rocks
The
Australian Heritage Hotel and The Glenmore Hotel in The Rocks team up to create
arguably one of the best spots to commemorate ANZAC Day. From 7am, The
Australian welcomes veterans, family and friends
with a hearty diggers breakfast, bacon and egg rolls for $9.50. Cumberland
Street is taken over and becomes the stage for a special performance by The
Scots Marching Band while Gloucester Street turns into one of the largest
two-up arenas in Sydney from 12pm. Food
trucks line the streets plus four external bars including 4 Pines pop-up and a
tinnie bar. The Glenmore’s rooftop is the perfect spot to spend the afternoon
with live music from 2pm-5pm, grab yourself a cold one and a cheeky bite to
eat, and end the day overlooking 180-degree views of Sydney harbour.
