We are located on Lovedale Road – adjacent to Pokolbin and Rothbury and just 7 kilometres from Cessnock in the heart of the lower Hunter.

We are on a journey of excellence - we want to have fun doing this, and to share the whole experience with our clients.

HARRIGAN'S IRISH PUB
HARRIGAN'S IRISH PUB
A charming Irish atmosphere is faithfully recreated at Harrigan's Irish Pub. With authentic decor from the land of the leprechaun and an Irish manager, Harrigan's has a charm and style all of its own. Renowned for its food, the Beef and Guinness Pie and quality char-grill steaks of Harrigan's Irish Pub are a specialty - both washing down well with a selection of Irish beers on tap!
In fact, Harrigan's is the only licensed hotel in Pokolbin. Despite Harrigan's Irish flavour, however, we forced our manager to make some Aussie concessions… Australian beers and Hunter wines flow freely and the char-grill steaks are unique in the Hunter Valley.
But it's not just food and drink that makes Harrigan's special… Enjoy the live entertainment on weekends and a fantastic outdoor area overlooking the vineyards. With all this at your disposal, Harrigan's Irish Pub is your Hunter vineyards 'home away from home'.
