Our Bars
The pub is on three levels. The basement is for contemporary Australian
dining and has a garden bar restaurant. On the ground floor is the Public
Bar, Saloon Bar and Lounge area. Upstairs are two more lounges which
can booked privately for functions or enjoyed as a quiet alternative
to the downstairs hum of activity, with a fully serviced bar. Each level
offers its own atmosphere although the old English theme prevails.
The Lounge Bar
You can enter the Lounge from the Back Bar or from Quarry Street.
Besides the decor, what will hit you is the huge sandstone fireplace
at the end wall. Many a romance has started in the comfy sofas surrounding
it. Lunch is served in the Lounge between 12am and 3pm while dinner
is the reserve of the restaurant downstairs. If the restaurant is booked
out for lunch you can generally find a table in the Lounge.

The Public Bar
As you enter the Public Bar from Jersey Road you get your first taste
of why the Dudley is so popular. It simply oozes warmth and tradition.
It is a real pub in the true sense with dark wood panelling, a long
wooden bar, antiques on the walls and an old fireplace. If you are here
for lunch or dinner, a quencher in the Public Bar beforehand is a must.
You may have a problem deciding which beer to have as the selection
is huge. Of course the most popular Aussie beers are on tap, but so
is Boddingtons, Kilkenny and even Stella Artois.
The Saloon Bar
From the Public Bar you can walk into the Saloon Bar where the dart
room is located. It is an intimate little spot which is most often
claimed by the regulars. If you put 20 people in it, it seems packed.
Its claim to fame is the beautiful art nouveau pressed tin wall panels
on the left as you enter. When the Publican (James) decided to redecorate
the Saloon Bar some years ago and ripped out the old plywood wall covering,
he discovered to his delight these beautiful panels still intact and
in pristine condition, give and take a bit of sweat and polish.
