Huntlee Tavern... Where the Hunter Unites
Back in 2017, in the picturesque outskirts of Hunter Valley Wine Country lay an empty paddock and an exceptional opportunity that caught the eye of experienced tavern operator Jason Gavin. Nestled near the growing township of Huntlee, Jason saw potential in the expansive rural paddock and wasted no time in acquiring the land.
Fast forward six years, and the once vacant paddock has been transformed into the thriving Huntlee Tavern—a destination tavern strategically located at the gateway to Hunter Valley Wine Country. Boasting its centrality to the bustling city of Newcastle and being close to several growing regional towns, Huntlee Tavern has earned the title of 'hub in the hunter,' serving as the central meeting place for surrounding communities with great food and amazing service.
And with a swag of awards under its belt (AHA Awards 2022 Best Live Music Venue and finalists in multiple categories including Best Family-friendly Venue, Best Regional Chef of the Year, Best Regional Development, Best Wagering Venue and Best Meals $15 and under), it’s the perfect tavern for both locals and visitors alike.
The tavern features a bistro area with a three-storey children's playground, a kid's entertainment room, function seating, and an outdoor terrace accommodating up to 100 people.
On the other side of the hotel, patrons can enjoy a lounge bar that doubles as a live entertainment venue with a dance floor, a public sports bar with TAB facilities, a gaming room featuring 22 machines, and a second entry. The bistro, with a dedicated bar, serves all-time gastropub favourites and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.
The Terrace offers an inviting space with numerous screens and state-of-the-art audio for social gatherings and catching favourite sports or music events. Meanwhile, the Lounge Bar stands as the heart and soul of the Huntlee Tavern, offering an extensive selection of spirits, liqueurs, and delectable cocktails, along with an unrivalled wine list for celebratory moments and good company. Live music and DJs grace the venue every weekend, making it an irresistible destination.
As if that weren't enough, Huntlee Tavern ensures convenience for its guests with a courtesy bus service for pick up and drop off from various locations around the region.
