The Globe Hotel, Rylstone

Step Back in Time at The Globe Hotel, Rylstone
No visit to Rylstone is complete without dropping into the iconic Globe Hotel — a beloved country pub rich with history, heart, and a few colourful characters.

Built during the gold rush era, this heritage hotel is full of stories. If you’re lucky, you’ll be welcomed by the friendly publican, who’s known to give guests an impromptu tour — complete with bushranger legends, tales of gold rush days, and a few cheeky anecdotes only a local could tell.

Stay long enough and you might catch the weekly dart competition, where locals gather for a bit of friendly rivalry, laughter, and community spirit. It’s the perfect chance to meet the local characters, share a drink, and experience authentic small-town hospitality.

Lue Hotel

The Lue Hotel – A Hidden Gem with Golden Stories
Tucked away in the charming village of Lue, this classic country pub is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Mudgee region. Known affectionately as pouring “the best beer this side of the Blue Mountains”, locals say the secret is in the rainwater-cleaned beer pipes — and after your first sip, you might just agree!

Housed in a beautifully aged heritage building, The Lue Hotel is brimming with character. Step inside and you’ll hear tales of gold nuggets swapped over the bar, horses trotting in for a drink, and the time the pub played host to a film set straight out of the Aussie outback!

Only open in the afternoons, it’s the perfect place to stop after a day of exploring, kick back on the verandah, and soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era.

Come for a cold beer, stay for the legendary yarns. The Lue Hotel is country hospitality at its best.
