The Palace Hotel

Listed in Chatswood, Sydney, The Palace Hotel’s own website refers to the venue as Palace Hotel Mortlake, so it is worth checking the address before visiting. The site presents it as a pub-style venue with a bistro, beer garden, sports bar, TAB and accommodation, although it does not provide details about the rooms or facilities.

Food and drink are a central part of the offering. The restaurant says it uses local and seasonal produce, alongside Australian wines, and caters for functions ranging from small gatherings to larger groups. Its signature Baroola Steak is associated with certified Australian Angus Beef from Baroola, the Young family cattle property near Canowindra. The venue also highlights two Baroola Wines: The Jimmy Sauvignon Blanc and The Caitlin Shiraz.

The setting is designed to suit different types of visits, with indoor and outdoor all-weather dining areas. The website positions it for family lunches, dinners, drinks, afternoon cocktails, casual meals and live sport, making it relevant to groups as well as more relaxed, informal visits. The venue is part of Young Hotels Group, led by former Wallaby Bill Young, which operates several hotels across New South Wales and emphasises local character, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Bookings are advised for dining, particularly when avoiding disappointment for functions or busy occasions.
