The Great Northern Hotel
No karaoke, no cover bands. Just live, original music six nights a week. Check out our gig calendar and bistro eats on our website.The iconic Great Northern Hotel is situated in the heart of Newcastle. Surviving depressions, recessions, floods and earthquakes, the building still stands alone as an art deco treasure situated in the historic East End convict precinct. The establishment is 145 years old in name, making it the oldest pub in Newcastle�¢??s CBD. The Hotel has been rebuilt three times in the same location, with the current building opening its doors to the public in 1938. Even Her Majesty the Queen stayed here when she was visiting our fair shores in the city�¢??s halcyon days�¢?�¦
Nestled between Newy�¢??s working harbour and leisurely beachfront, the pub is an ideal choice for functions big or small. While our three upstairs ballrooms, boutique-style hotel rooms and rooftop patio are in the infancy stages of design and renovation [after being left vacant and derelict for the last 20 years] the downstairs pub and bistro area of this iconic art deco building have many features that will ensure your function exceeds expectations! A focus on live entertainment and original music (six days a week�¢?�¦!) means there is always something happening here at the Great Northern Hotel. ...read more

I went in 2 days ago for lunch and their kitchen was closed down...the girlies and I decided to have one drink because we felt bad for the place since they had like 2 people in the building. when my friend went to the bar it smelt like beer had been sitting there for weeks. we ended up leaving because it just seems like a health risk if you ask me. on the other business across the road had amazing food and really groovy mixed drinks. so turned out to be a good day. I give the great northern no stars but to post this I have to give some kind of rating so half a star.
