The Red Cow Hotel

The Red Cow Hotel The Red Cow Hotel, established in 1815, is a historic pub located at Ropes Creek. Originally a coaching inn, it was well-patronized by passing wagon drivers and riders on the Western Road. It became even more successful when Thomas Smith purchased land nearby and built the hotel just in time for the arrival of the railway in 1863. The original building was unpretentious but has undergone reconstruction over the years with materials from Sir John Jamison's home. Today, The Red Cow Hotel offers honest pub grub, a relaxing atmosphere, and plenty of fun.

The Red Cow Hotel in Station Street, Sydney is a historic pub that has been serving patrons for over two centuries. Established in 1815 as The Red Cow Inn at Ropes Creek, it was one of the early coaching inns and was well patronised by passing wagon drivers, coaches and riders on the Western Road. Today, The Red Cow Hotel is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy classic pub food, refreshing beverages and live sports.

The hotel also played an important role in transportation history as it became a starting point for coaches over the Blue Mountains and was the terminus of the Western Rail Line for four years.

In addition to its historical significance, The Red Cow Hotel offers modern amenities such as a courtyard and function spaces available for private events.
