About this space

Housed in the 1874 Loyal Hamilton Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows on the edge of Steele Park — one of Hamilton East's most historically significant buildings, quietly reworked into a fast-paced gastropub. High-ceilinged, characterful, and one of the few local rooms where 200 people don't feel crammed in.

Seats 200 (300 standing) and available every day 7am–11am — ideal for founders' breakfasts, corporate mornings, community gatherings and live music. Kitchen turns out burgers, pizzas and pub classics; bar covers beer, wine and cocktails.

An 1874 lodge as your quiz-night HQ, film-location backdrop or birthday hall — history included.
