Beaches Hotel

Thirroul locals probably already know Beaches Hotel as one of the most lively bars and best live music venues in Wollongong’s northern suburbs – but you shouldn’t overlook how good this place is for a feed. Here you find some seriously good (and seriously sized) versions of Australian pub favourites like salt & pepper squid, beefy burgers, deep-dish pie and mash, a range of pizzas and a classic chicken parma. But Beaches Hotel kick things up a gear with tweaks to these standards, like the Monterrey (topped with bacon, smoky BBQ sauce and Californian jack cheddar) or Tijuana (a spicy jalapeno and soothing guacamole and sour cream Mexican-inspired balance) chicken schnitzels, not to mention their vibrant salads, delicious seafood mains and exotic options like the Asian fish burger (marinated in Chinese five spice and coupled with celeriac remoulade). Beaches Hotel is in the heart of Thirroul on Lawrence Hargrave Drive, just a few blocks from the beach – reserve a table and enjoy!
