Located in the riverside village of Jugiong, The Sir George offers a unique eat, drink, bake experience in the Australian bush.
The Sir George Tavern as it was known, was originally built by Irish settler John Philip Sheahan in 1845.
Rising floodwaters from the mighty Murrumbidgee washed the original structure away in the floods of 1852.
That year, Sheahan began rebuilding the pub with the help of stonemasons from Ireland and the end result was the structure that still stands today.
In 2014 the historic venue, which had one of the longest running pubs in the one family in Australia, was restored to create a warm and relaxed space where old meets new … with a restaurant, boutique bar and artisan bakery.
In time, they also plan to transform the remains of stables at the back of the property, dating back to before the pub opened, into accommodation with 10 rooms available.
