Kelso's local since 1860

The Kelso has been a Bathurst institution for over 162 years, offering travellers between Sydney & the Central West a place to refresh with food, drinks & accomodation. Open daily from 10am, enjoy a cold drink in the bar, a meal in the large family friendly dining room with Kid's Playground, or basque in the sun on the verandah and watch Sydney Road go by. If you're looking for something more active, there's a weekly Poker or Trivia Night which are always a fun affair.

The bistro menu features a great range of pub classics with a focus on seasonal produce as well as Chef's creative weekly specials which are a favourite amongst locals. A great line up of weekly Lunch Specials make The Kelso a local favourite during the week.

Why not stay the night in one of the 12 ensuite rooms with rooms starting from $95 a night.

Plate with French fries, breaded fried fish fillet garnished with green herbs, side salad with drizzled dressing, and a small bowl of dark gravy on a wooden table.
