For over 70 years, this family has been deeply connected to the Lismore community, fostering strong bonds that extend beyond just relatives. Known as a welcoming space where community members gather and feel like part of the family, they are now reviving that sense of connection by bringing back the place where people can come together and reconnect, following the closure of their previous establishment. This tradition of family and community is at the heart of their efforts.

First established in 1892, rebuilt in 1897 & 1936 after fires burnt the first two versions to the ground, the 1936 rebuild is the Great Northern you see today. The “front bar” is a perfect example of a proper, old Australian Hotel Bar, rich with character and great place to have a beer and watch some live sport. Not to mention the top-quality live music by the very best blues, rock & folk artists the Northern Rivers region has to offer.

This, purpose built, live music venue is known all around the world and has hosted hundreds of iconic live concerts by countless bands that include Paul Kelly, Fat Freddies Drop & Ocean Alley just to name a few. You can catch a show here almost every weekend of the year.
