About Hotel Nicholas

Beechworth’s oldest operating hotel pairs gold-rush heritage with an unexpected kitchen lineup of Nepalese curries and pub staples. Wall-to-wall regional photographs and sporting relics frame the dining room, while the front bar stays toasty around an open fireplace with pints of Stanley Lager and mugs of warm spiced wine. Regulars lean into the eclectic board—crispy momos, massive chicken kievs, and slow-braised lamb shanks served beside a shady, dog-friendly garden patio.

  • Living Town History: Photographs, local relics, and sports memorabilia line the brick walls of Beechworth's oldest operating pub.
  • Eclectic Country Fare: Nepalese chicken curries and steamed momos share the bill with chicken parmas, steaks, and slow-cooked lamb shanks.
  • Fireplace & Garden Bar: An open fire warms cold nights alongside house-mulled wine, cider, and regional beers on tap.

  • Eclectic Global and Nepalese Specials

    The kitchen sets itself apart by serving authentic Nepalese curries, momos, and Asian-inspired specials alongside classic pub standards.

    Nepalese chicken curry and satay pork were fabulous, with excellent service, and reasonably priced local wines.

  • Pet and Bike-Friendly Garden Bar

    Cyclists touring regional routes and patrons with pets enjoy a dedicated, shaded outdoor garden bar.

    Would recommend to anyone and especially with a dog, water and shade outside and the staff are very friendly.

  • Fireside Comfort on Cold Days

    A roaring open fire offers a cosy respite from cold weather, complemented by hot mulled wine and warm cider.

    The atmosphere here is lovely, the fireplace was so nice to sit next to, good selection of drinks on tap and the service was excellent.

What style of food does the pub serve?

Beyond traditional pub fare like chicken parmas, steaks, and roasts, the kitchen serves international specialties including Nepalese curries, momos, and Asian-style satay dishes.

Can I bring my dog or park my bicycle outside?

Yes, dogs and bicycles are welcome in the shaded outdoor garden bar and patio seating area, where water bowls are provided for pets.

How generous are the meal portions?

Portions are generous and hearty across pub staples and main courses, with guests regularly finding meals more than filling and taking leftovers home.
