What is it about fresh country air that makes us seek out the local bistro for a frosted pint and a hearty meal? Thankfully, Mudgee has a wonderful selection of traditional pubs with a rich history and charming country hospitality to choose from.

Oriental Hotel

A historical icon in the centre of Mudgee, the Oriental Hotel is a hum of activity most days of the week. With plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces, relaxed contemporary interiors and an extensive menu on offer, it is no wonder ‘the Ori’ is a favourite amongst the community. Enjoy one of their local grass fed steaks, a boutique beer, and a rollicking good night out with the locals.

Paragon Hotel

The Paragon Hotel was constructed in 1857 during the beginning of the gold rush and served many purposes such as court hearings, accommodation and a sporting hub. This beautifully restored heritage listed hotel has a great selection of mid-week specials and a steady line up of musicial acts and events in the The Garden.

The Lawson

Located on historic Church Street, the Lawson Park Hotel was built in 1860 and retains much of its heritage appeal. Their bistro menu contains such classics as perfectly cooked 42 day dry aged steaks, BBQ pork ribs with their famous BBQ sauce, and daily specials sourced from fresh, local produce. Not to mention a play area to keep the children (and parents) happily entertained.

Prince of Wales

Located in the irresistibly quaint Gulgong, Prince of Wales has been welcoming patrons since 1872 with its distinct country charm. This 50 year old family owned and operated hotel is perfect for those seeking delicious traditional fare, rustic interiors and genuine service.

Centennial Hotel

The Centennial Hotel is the oldest operating hotel in Gulgong having opened in 1872 and appearing on Australia’s first $10 note. Enjoy a folk session in the beer garden with a delicious cold ale and hearty home cooked meal. There is really nothing more charming than that.
