Standing on Main Street as Fairlie's historic two-storey landmark, this heritage hotel was built in 1884, extended in 1916, and still retains its distinctive round arch entrance, iron fretwork, and corrugated steel roof. It functions as both a gateway stay for travellers venturing into the Mackenzie District and a long-standing gathering place for the township. On-site dining centres on The Locals Bar and Restaurant, which serves family-friendly lunch and dinner menus with dedicated vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options.
The hotel pairs authentic nineteenth-century character with everyday pub hospitality, making it a natural staging post after a long drive through the Mackenzie basin. The bar and dining room run Monday to Sunday from 11 am to 11 pm at 43 Main Street in Fairlie. Our pick in town for a relaxed pub meal and an unpretentious slice of Mackenzie heritage.
