Pubs of Balmain Peninsula
OK, when the weather's bad and you can't go kayaking perhaps you can have fun exploring Balmain. For lunch I'd recommend either the Royal Oak or Dry Dock Hotels. There's also no shortage of coffee shops and restaurants. Balmain markets is on each Saturday just across the road from the London Hotel.
