The Freqs

The Beach Hotel, Merewether is one of Newcastle and the Hunter Valley’s most popular pubs for so many reasons. To start with, there’s the view. Located on Scenic Drive right above Merewether Surf Club, The Beach Hotel overlooks the South Pacific Ocean and the waves of Merewether, Dixon Park and Bar Beaches, all the way up to Stryzlecki Lookout where hang gliders can be seen most weekends.

To enjoy the scenery, The Beach Hotel has a great restaurant. You can sit out on the terrace or inside in air conditioned comfort with a great meal, have a beer or share a bottle of wine with friends, and just relax. From succulent seafood and pasta to mouthwatering steaks and juicy burgers, the Beach Hotel will have something to tantalize your taste buds.

For catching up over after-work drinks or kicking off a big night out on the town, The Beach Hotel has two great bars, both with a huge range of beer, wine and spirits. The Reef Bar is an intimate non-smoking bar, whilst the Beach Bar is a larger room that opens out onto the deck and faces the beach, with Foxtel on the big screen and a stage that pumps with the hottest local live music acts five nights a week.
