About The Royal Hotel Meredith

A storied regional watering hole pulling cold pots and hosting touring rock acts on a dedicated outdoor stage. Road-trippers drop in off the Midland Highway for unhurried counter meals and cheerful banter behind the bar. Tuesday nights draw regulars across the district for the twenty-dollar parmi specials, spanning Mexican chicken to beef builds with chips and salad. When the outdoor stage lights up, umbrellas pop open and the courtyard turns into an open-air gig—rain, hail, or shine.

  • Live Outdoor Stage: The venue stages touring bands and festivals in the courtyard rain, hail, or shine, surrounded by umbrellas and beer garden seating.
  • Twenty-Dollar Parmi Night: Tuesday dinner deals offer generous twenty-dollar chicken and beef variations alongside chips and salad.
