Failing that, the Local Taphouse or Harts would get my vote, but I appreciate they fall down on the fact that despite stocking some cracking beers, those beers (and their associated prices) are not to everyone's taste.
If it's a top afternoon session pub you want, I don't reckon you can go past the Lord Wolseley in Ultimo. The following write up from Time Out makes says it all: "This is one of Sydney's great Aussie pubs. You won't see schmiddies here, nor will you see any of the other malarkey that's snuck its way into our town's establishments. No change on those stupid little plates, bottled water instead of tap, dumb cocktails, beers poured in one pour, lines on the wine glasses. This bar is everything those other renta-bars aren't. They serve the best Toohey's Old in Sydney (their taps are surgically clean so you'll never get that bitter taste - it's always crisp, sweet and clean and poured in two pours, no less) and there are little plaques on the bar commemorating all the past drinkers who've gone to that great pub in the sky. The beer garden is a couple of upturned kegs and benches in the adjoining park where ex-coppers, wharfies, nanas and fishermen alike come to sit back with a beer, take in the afternoon delights and shoot the breeze. There's a restaurant on the side (Violante's) but we go for the schooners and a pie from Hannah's (the maker of Harry's pies) down the road. Sitting on the corner of one of the most beautiful streets in town with a little church on one side of the road, and park and pub on the other, is one of life's great joys. Kids skate and cycle up and down the street with ratty old dogs on rope leashes. In an age of paint-by-number pubs (is there a shop that solely sells refurbed pub interiors flat packed complete with dizzy bar wenches and blondes drinking Breezers?) this one stands like a beacon. Good drinking the way it should be - unpretentious and conducted on a park bench" Its not as easy as a central city venue but the light rail from Central gets you pretty close and in my opinion, it's well worth the effort.

Despite other people questioning the point, I still have an appetite to support Wolves.
