We love a good beer garden here in Newcastle but what we love more than any old beer garden is one that’s undergone a transformation, and this little hidden gem over in the backstreets of Maryville is exactly that and more.

The Maryville Tavern has been a favourite for locals since the get-go. With people rocking up in droves to enjoy the delicious pub-focussed menu, enjoy the iconic Aussie beers on tap, grabbing mates and settling in for trivia night, or taking their four-legged friends for an excursion; whatever it is, The Maryville Tavern has been home to it all.

Having recently refurbished their covered beer garden, The Maryville Tavern now boasts some of the coolest indoor/outdoor entertaining vibes you can find across Newcastle. Complete with lots of greenery, upcycled tables, and a dedicated outdoor bar, it’s Newcastle’s go-to for good weather drinking!

“The Maryville Tavern has long been a Newcastle institution, a hidden gem. It’s tucked away, urban feel lends it to the feeling that you have stumbled upon the best kept local secret.

“Whether it’s a casual catch-up or long lunches in the outdoor beer garden, you will discover for yourself why The Maryville is one of Newcastle’s most popular destinations.”

The front bar still continues to be a traditional local favourite where both craft beer and typical brews can all be found. Pull up a chair in the cosy interior featuring the old-fashioned horseshoe layout and stay a while chatting with lively locals.

Heading out towards the back of the venue, check out the newly revamped restaurant. What was once just a pub with an adjoining bistro offering, has steadily become a food destination in its own right.

“A foodie’s haven, there is a focus on locally grown, fresh ingredients changing according to the season. With young families and professionals as neighbours, owners Michael, Brad, and Travis have created a truly welcoming vibe.”

The easy-going pub specialises in serving cold beer, hot delicious meals, and a relaxed atmosphere that’s great for mates, dates, and even families. It’s harnessed that iconic pub vibe that most pubs strive for, the perfect mix of friendly and authentic yet chic and quirky.
