You’ll find the historic Jamberoo Pub nestled right in the heart of Jamberoo at 12 Allowrie Street. This inviting hotel-motel offers a comfortable stay in a charming country town.

We had linguine and the risotto. Beautiful flavours and portion size was large. Highly recommend to all. Thanks for having us in your beautiful pub.
We were looking for a place to stay for 2 nights while we attended a funeral in Kiama. We booked a pub room rather than the motel as it was substantially cheaper, and we wanted to try out the 'old pub style' accomodation upstairs from the dining room. We loved it! We had a large room with high ceilings and a clean comfy queen bed, a dresser, bedside tables and lamps, and a clothes rack. Down the hall were 2 very clean shared bathrooms with good showers. The lounge had a large TV with streaming services available. A well supplied kitchenette had a fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockey and cutlery so we could make our own breakfast each day with items we bought at the general store across the road. The verandah has beautiful views of the mountains and is enclosed with cafe- curtains, so we could enjoy breakfast and snacks there in all weather. We didn't eat there as we spent time in Kiama, but people in town highly recommended the food. The staff were helpful and friendly. It would be a great place for a family get-together, with it's 150 year old ambience, fittings and creaky floors! Our grandkids would love it!
My family and I happily travel from Helensburgh to Jamberoo just for the food at Jamberoo Pub Bistro, and we've done so many times over the last few years. I first visited this beautiful pub as a teenager with my family, and I never forgot it and decided to come back for a visit a few years ago and have been going there ever since. It's such a striking, quaint building with so much character, nestled in the stunning Jamberoo countryside. The food is exactly what great pub food should be- honest, hearty, and consistently delicious. One thing I really appreciate is that every meal is always the same high standard. Vanessa, the chef, is lovely and clearly takes great pride in what she does. I order the veggie burger with an egg and chips every single visit because it's honestly the best veggie burger I've ever had. It's huge and so good. My son loves their kids' meals- and usually gets the nuggets with vegetables, mashed potato, a drink and ice cream– fantastic value and a proper meal for kids. My husband has enjoyed a variety of dishes over the years, including the steak, burgers, bangers and mash, and nachos, and he's never been disappointed. The pub itself has a warm, welcoming vibe. It's always spotless, cosy and comfortable. The soccer memorabilia throughout the venue is fascinating, especially the tributes to the legendary Johnny Warren. We were chatting with Vanessa, who told us that Johnny Warren's brother and nephew own and run the pub, which makes the connection even more special. They also host some fantastic football events, including World Cup screenings and special breakfast openings for major matches. I also have to mention the amenities. The toilets are genuinely the cleanest pub toilets I've ever used, and the complimentary feminine hygiene products are such a thoughtful touch that shows real care for patrons. Jamberoo Pub Bistro is one of those rare places that gets everything right: great food, friendly people, a welcoming atmosphere, attention to detail, and a beautiful location. We keep coming back for a reason, and I highly recommend it to anyone local or visiting the area. My photos certainly don't do the food justice. I'm definitely a better eater than photographer, and my son had already helped himself to some of the vegetables before I remembered to take a picture.
So happy to have visited the Pub again with my Dubbo friends. I’d met the owner this time around, and we had a great chat about their Johnny Warren memorabilia display. Very interesting place to visit, and certainly has lots of character. Lunch was great too, had the Nachos which was full of flavour.
Had a great lunch here. The steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 was outstanding, certainly not skimping on the filling. The wings were delicious, but can do with more roasting. Great beer 🍺 options. Loved the old pub feeling, was a great experience and the staff were ready with a smile and super friendly.
