Previously the longest bar in the Southern Hemisphere
once boasted the longest bar in the Southern Hemisphere. Was overtaken by a Club, Mildura Workers probably. The wall you can see now splits the bar which is horseshoe shaped at the other end. We don't know the longest Pub bar currently but will try and find out |

Longest ownership by same Family in Australia (and NSW)
At 2007 owned by the Sheahan Family since c1845 Phillip Sheahan, built the first Sir George Tavern on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River in 1845 but it was washed away in the floods of 1852. Undeterred by this setback John Sheahan decided to build something that would last forever. He brought stonemasons from Ireland and built the current Sir George Tavern which opened for business a few years later. It is a monument to permanence with the walls being over half a metre thick. That permanence extends to the family. Today, the Sheahan family still run the pub, making it the oldest family-run hotel in Australia." The Club Hotel in Glen Innes has been run by the same family since 1906 |
Longest ownership by same Family in Queensland
Not sure which is now the longest currently operated. |
Closest Pub to a State Border
SA/NSW There has been an Hotel here since at least the 1870's. The hotel closed c1986 and is now the Border Gate Truck stop. The right part of the building is in South Australia The border divided the bar and there was a line drawn across the middle of the Bar to show you which State you were drinking in. The current Cockburn Hotel is just 100m from the NSW border. Current open closest Pub is possibly the Dolphin in Tweed Heads Photo: 26/09/2007. |

Largest Consumption of Liquid Refreshments per head of population in the world
However the drinkers record is calculated by dividing the total refreshments consumption by the population number of 6 and you do get world record worthy numbers. ....Struth those 6 can drink :-) |
Longest Bar in Australia Contender
This is one title that is at best, a best guess. The team has seen a few Pubs and some folks have emailed in (Thank You) saying Ryans Hotel would have to have the longest Bar then here it is until someone says they have seen a longer bar. Thanks to Gaz and Cooky The Ryans Bar certainly is a ripper. The bar length judged is the public use length and can be broken up by walkways but apart from that does need to be continuous. Congrats Ryans |
Beer Sales _ South Australia
It is believed this Pub still holds the South Australian record for the greatest amount of beer served in a single week. This was set, unsurprisingly at the end of World War II. |
Longest Bar in Australia Contender
9th July 2010. "I'd like to confirm, that today, we have personally measured the immense bar at Middle Park Hotel at 46.81 meters. The entire bar (L-shaped and rounded at the end's) is in one entire L-shaped room, and provides beer service to patrons along its entire length. Impeccibly laid out, this bar is grand in all proportions. And that's not all! It is accompanied by a series of personal booths, with their own LCD screen for enjoying an afternoon of favourite sports with mates." - Gaz. Is your local bar longer?????? |

Longest Bar in Australia; New leader
Your website says you're looking to find the longest bar in Australia? Well my names Davyd Hooper owner of Kambalda Hotel and I'd like to stake claim to having the longest bar in Australia at over 60m2 in length. From what I can see with the Mildura Workers Clubs been redeveloped and Captains Flat being split in half the records clear. Would you be interested in setting the story straight? Well you're welcome to visit us and have a drink on me, but don't forget... bring your tape measure. Cheers Davyd Hooper |
Longest Serving Publican
The Notting Hill Hotel, built in 1891, sits on the same property, and had been in the ongoing proud Publican ownership of Kath Byer from 1936 to her passing at 92 years of age in November 2010 . Kath had always been keen to provide a good hearty meal atmosphere. |
