As far as starting points go, in Balmain their are 2 options.
Start at the top of Darling St (Cnr of Darling & Victoria Rd) & work your way down the hill towards the ferry. This would be very easy for those getting to Balmain on a bus. The 501 from Railway Square should drop you there. It is about 15-20 minutes on the bus from Central. 1st pub would be The Sackville. Very modern facility, completely refurbished, although I have never been in the Ladies toilets. Very good food with Little Creatures, Erdinger & others on tap. Wander along Darling St to the next pub.
or
Start down near the wharf & I think the closest pub that would interest us would be The London. Classic old sandstone pub with awesome views of the balcony, completely refurbished, although I have never been in the Ladies toilets. Awesome food last time I was there and Cooper Sparkling, Pale Ale & Dark ALe on tap. The best thing about this joint is the number of people that actually drink the Coopers. Max Cooper was a part owner at one time & had a room upstairs for his frequent Sydney visits. From here you wander up the hill to the next pub.
Something to think about.
