Sydney's Pub Wars

so there's 3 pubs that claim the title "oldest pub":

• "the fortune of war" in the Rocks area - technically they hold the "oldest continueing pub license" in Australia and they have the prime spot in the Rocks so they can do what they want i guess
• "the Lord Nelson Hotel" - now a brew pub
  
• "the hero of waterloo" looks nd feels more authentic so i consider this one the winner.
  

So Josh from Butchart Gardens and I are talking to the bartender and waitress at the Hero of Waterloo about this whole who's older than who stuff. This place used to be where the British Navy would "press gang" drunks into the british navy. anyone passed out would get dropped down a trap door into a jail in the basement and then get chained up until the morning when they would get taken away to be "volunteered into the Navy". It was a slow night and we gots accents down here so the waitress takes us on a a tour of the trap tour, the jail and the chains that are still there, just being used as storage.
