The Victoria, Bathurst
The Victoria Hotel on Keppel Street has become one of Bathurst’s most recognisable all‑rounders – a colourful, locally owned pub‑hotel with plenty of personality. Refurbished in 2019, The Victoria leans into its history without pretending to be anything it’s not. It’s an old pub with old‑pub bones, refreshed with bright artwork from local creatives and a modern touch that feels welcoming rather than try‑hard.
Why we love it
Good food, good energy, and a venue that knows exactly who it is.
Between the front bar, the dining rooms, Little Alberts, and The Backyard, there’s always something happening – live music, long lunches, casual dinners, or just a steady stream of locals dropping in. The menu covers the classics with a few twists, and the whole place carries that Bathurst mix of character and comfort.
Upstairs, the boutique hotel offers clean, colourful rooms that make staying in the CBD easy. Friendly staff, walkable location, and a venue that doesn’t take itself too seriously
