A private dining room in the Lower Hunter doesn't have to mean a hushed, formal space. The Dining Room @ The Pourhouse sits inside a craft beer bar and bistro at 327 High Street, Maitland, in the old Exchange Hotel that first opened in 1866, and it's made for groups who want their own table without losing the bar's atmosphere.
What to know about the room before you enquire:
Maitland's historic High Street suits a dinner that rolls on into drinks, and Maitland station on the Hunter Line helps guests coming in by train for the evening.
About 40 seated, or up to 60 standing. It's the venue's main space for bigger groups and sits close to the front bar, so guests still feel part of the evening.
Yes, the Whisk(e)y Room at The Pourhouse takes up to 15, which suits a family dinner or a small celebration.
The kitchen makes its food in-house, from pub classics to share plates built on local and native produce. Functions can be canapés with cocktails, a seated meal served at the table, or easygoing drinks with food.
With enough notice and a deposit, several areas together or the whole building can be reserved. The beer garden adds room for up to 80, and the front bar fits about 70.
