Old Soul, New Spirit Hotel Mackay Brings A Historic Favourite Into A Fresh New Era

There’s something special about a pub that feels like it has always belonged. At Hotel Mackay, a piece of local history has been thoughtfully restored and given a new lease on life, creating a venue where heritage charm meets a fresh, welcoming atmosphere.

Originally built in 1911, the historic hotel has been lovingly transformed into an elevated, traditionally run pub, blending art deco influences with the character and stories that come with more than a century of history.

The team behind Hotel Mackay set out to create more than just a place to eat and drink — they wanted to create somewhere locals, visitors and anyone looking for good food and good company could walk through the doors and instantly feel welcome.

Now serving lunch and dinner seven days a week, Hotel Mackay is the perfect place to settle in with your favourite people, enjoy a hearty pub meal and catch up over a cold drink.

There’s always something happening, with regular karaoke nights, meat tray raffles and plenty of reasons to make a return visit. Monday nights are a crowd favourite, with trivia running from 7pm to 8.30pm, alongside the unbeatable special of a chicken parmi and Laffos lager for $30.

Whether you’re a long-time local or just passing through, Hotel Mackay invites you to step inside, enjoy the atmosphere and become part of its next chapter. Because great pubs aren’t just built with bricks and mortar — they’re built around the people who walk through the door.
