Harrigan's Hunter Valley continues to be the perfect destination for visitors exploring Wine Country, offering a blend of casual dining, live entertainment and family-friendly hospitality in the heart of Pokolbin. This contemporary Australian hotel provides the ideal setting to unwind after a day of cellar door hopping or exploring the neighbouring Hunter Valley Gardens.
The bistro remains a highlight, starting with breakfast from 7am daily, making it an excellent starting point for a day of Hunter Valley adventures. The lunch and dinner menus showcase modern Australian cuisine with Irish influences, featuring their award-winning local favourite, Beef and Guinness Pot Pie, alongside fresh gourmet pizzas. The spacious alfresco dining area is particularly appealing during February and March, allowing families and friends to enjoy their meals outdoors while the children play.
Throughout February and March, Harrigan's keeps things interesting with their popular weekly specials. Monday to Thursday lunch specials from $20 run from 12pm-3pm, while evenings bring themed dining, including Wednesday's Ribs Night from $30, featuring half or full racks served from 5.30pm to 9pm. Thursday nights belong to the $30 Steak Night, complete with chips, salad and a choice of sauce. Weekend visitors can take advantage of the $18 Cocktail Hour on Fridays from 4pm-6pm and Saturdays from 3pm-5pm.
Live music remains central to the Harrigan's experience, with performances scheduled every weekend. Saturday afternoons feature acoustic sessions from 1pm-4pm, while Friday and Saturday nights come alive with bands playing from 8.30pm-11.30pm. For those seeking midweek entertainment, Wednesday Trivia Night runs from 6.30pm-8.30pm.
