Albion Hotel Parramatta: your questions, answered

What makes the Albion special

Albies is a sun-drenched beer garden by day and a booming nightclub by night, and we're happy being both. The corner of George and Harris Streets has been home to the Albion since 1882, the building was rebuilt in 1924, and the Solomon family has run it since 1986. A lot of Parramatta has walked through these doors.

A few things we're proud of:

• A spacious beer garden and a bistro serving everything from meze plates and burgers to woodfired pizza.
• Dogs are welcomeDogs welcome in the beer garden until 8pm.
• A sports bar with big screens for the NRL, A-League and cricket.
• Live acoustic music on Fridays and Saturdays, and DJs in the nightclub on Albion Fridays and Vibe Saturdays.
• Two function spaces: the Lounge Bar for up to 80 guests and the Pavilion for 70 to 150.
• A proper community pub that also supports, and a supporter of local junior soccer and rugby league clubs.
