Classic Aussie pub (hotel) in central Sydney
I'll be meeting my dad in Sydney next month, and after dinner (already got that scoped out) we'd like to head to a nice, old-school, civilized pub/hotel for a beer or three -- ideally something like his favorite spot in Melbourne, Young & Jacksons. Any ideas? Is the Art House too posh? Is the Lord Nelson worth the hike, or is there something a little less touristy?
We're staying near Galeries Victoria/Town Hall, so something walkable from there would be preferable.

A few decent options in the Rocks area such as the Orient Hotel and LowenBrau, Agree with above the pizzas at the Australian hotel are also decent.
If you want to check out Bondi there are decent pubs / beer gardens such as Beach Road Hotel you could even stay in Bondi for the "full experience". I've used sites like Stayz for accom before - http://www.stayz.com.au/accommodation/nsw/sydney/bondi-beach
