Pub
•Honeysuckle Hotel is Newcastle’s premier function venue, combining stunning harbour views, delicious food and friendly, professional staff. Whatever event you are celebrating, from birthdays to engagements and everything in between, our team knows how to make it happen without any fuss. We offer four all-inclusive packages; these help to make booking your function as simple as can be as we take care of everything for you! However, if these do not suit your needs you are of course more than welcome to create your own package.

The Mezzanine level is located above the main bar and is available for full or part-floor hire. Both sides of the Mezzanine have private bar access. As this is an elevated level rather than an enclosed room, you are still very much a part of the main bar atmosphere and entertainment. This space is suitable for events of 40-220 guests cocktail.



Positioned quite literally over the water, the Harbour Room at Honeysuckle Hotel offers one of Newcastle’s most iconic waterfront event spaces. Framed by full-length glass walls and perched on the edge of the harbour, this semi-private room provides uninterrupted panoramic views of the working port, docked cruise liners, and colourful coastal sunsets. With flexible layouts, bar tab options, and curated menus we can create a truly unique ambiance for cocktail parties, corporate functions, milestone birthdays, and engagement celebrations.
Absolutely loved this place! It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a cozy pub atmosphere🍺 The cheeseburger was outstanding—definitely a must-try. The highlight, however, was the real fireplace; it creates such a warm and relaxing vibe, especially when you want to enjoy a quiet drink. Their wine selection is also impressive with plenty of great options. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and well-maintained the facilities (including the restrooms) were. It’s rare to find such a chill, well-kept pub. Will definitely be coming back!
Weekday lunch @ waterfront, with 🍼 baby. Location perfect. Used public transport. The best chicken schnitzel+prowns added, avocado relish matching to checken, beautiful lunch ever. Rosemary & Garlic Lamb cutlets, cooked nice. Unique flavour with relish. Perfect day we had.
We visited on Easter Sunday and had such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was warm and attentive throughout. What truly made it special, though, was one of the staff members, Jennifer. We hadn’t booked, but she went out of her way to find us a table, and even more thoughtfully, made sure our elderly dog was comfortable and settled. That level of care and kindness really stood out—it was so genuine and completely above and beyond. We left feeling so looked after. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more highly.
Had dinner, rump steak and a good red wine. The atmosphere was rowdy but warm and the service was good for staff run off their feet. The steak was mediocre, lots of sinews, sadly, and the mushroom sauce was very disappointing. All in all I’d consider this an average pub feed with a beautiful view.
If I could leave a review of zero I would. I ordered the beer battered barramundi- when it came out it looked like 2 overcooked and burnt corn dogs, the fish was very dry, oily and tasteless. My grandson ordered the chicken schnitzel . It was anlso tasteless and was worse than a Woolworths pre-made chicken schnitzel. We were so disappointed. We had gone out for a celebratory lunch and we were so disappointed. Such a gorgeous location, such a poor meal.
