The BEST Live Music Venues in Rock Forest NSW

Established in 1928, the Bathurst RSL Club is an integral part of the Bathurst community. With more than 15,000 members, we are a social hub where people can gather for a wonderful meal and great entertainment in a warm and friendly environment. We’re very proud of our exceptional service to our members and the community and we are committed to making everyone who walks through our doors feel welcome. With thousands of dollars donated each year to local sporting clubs, arts organisations, events and charities, the Bathurst RSL really is the heart of the community.

Refurbished in January 2019, locally owned and operated by Heath Smith, and Boston the Pub Pug, the Victoria Bathurst offers something for the whole crew. It is the ultimate hub for food, drink, arts, music, events & accommodation in the Central West. She’s an old pub, with old pub features, yet with a modern touch that’s not hell bent on being a smug hipster hangout. In either of the dining rooms and in the front bar, the walls are adorned in imagery conjured up by local artists. Smug hipsters are actually welcome. Karen’s are not. The Victoria is part-pub, restaurant, gallery, live music venue & boutique hotel. Each section of The Victoria has its own distinct style. The Victoria’s Publican Heath, is a chef by trade so you know the food on offer is top notch. Menu items consist of high quality starters and share snacks, the very popular Queenie’s Classics, right through to restaurant quality fair. The Vic also caters for Vegans and Crossfitters so You’ll have no issues spotting them, they’ll let you know they are about. Assist you celiac’s in your war on gluten. Upstairs from the pub, The Victoria houses 19 freshly renovated rooms that range from your lock stock single room and TV, all the way up to your Family sized room with all amenities, additional foldout couch and ensuite, all with room service. Little Alberts is a roomy, yet intimate live music joint with it’s own front door access that is custom made for live entertainment, private functions and all sorts of get-together. Sporting it’s own bar, this room has featured some of this countries finest musicians, featuring both original artists and tribute performances honouring some of history’s greatest works. Suss out the pubs socials to find out about any upcoming performances. The Backyard is the kid and dog friendly yard out the back of the pub. It’s a beaut hangout for you, your mates, your dogs and your family to have a couple cheeky lunchtime drinks and a top feed.

The Blind Pig was born from an idea to combine local music, local wines, spirits and beers, and the best of live, local and visiting musicians, into Orange's most fun Venue. We pride ourselves on being the first, and STILL the only venue in the City of Orange to be registered with the "Welcome here" initiative as being a safe place for everybody.
