The Federal Hotel in Bellingen first opened for business in 1901, its name celebrating the Federation of the Australian States in that year.
The Federal Hotel has a longstanding reputation for providing the 3 “must haves” in a country pub.
1. A welcoming environment where you can relax and enjoy a drink with friends.
2. A taste tempting bistro (ours is an award winner!) where you can enjoy a hearty but affordable pub meal.
3. And of course clean, comfortable and reasonably priced “country pub style” accommodation for the weary commercial traveller or Bellingen Valley tourist!
The venue is a huge supporter of live music and has a reputation of being one of the best music venues on the Mid North Coast.
