Ballcourt Hotel 2 Likes

The Ball Court Hotel was built in the mid-1870s. It is notable for being the only surviving 19th-century hotel in Sunbury.

The site originally housed a hotel known as the Farmers Arms.

Ball Court Hotel today is more than just a pub, as it combines multiple zones and amenities to cater to different audiences.

What to find

• Sports Bar: Includes TAB (betting terminal), big screens for live sports, pool tables, and the standard pub setup.
• Jackson Bar: A more cozy bar area, often used for socialising, smaller groups. It has a fireplace and bi-fold windows.
• Cellardoor Wine Bar: Focused on wine, cocktails, and lighter fare like charcuterie. Acts as a kind of “bar + wine lounge” zone.
• Beer Garden / Outdoor Space: A major highlight. The beer garden is large, with both sun and undercover seating. It includes a children’s play area to make it more family-friendly.
• Drive-thru Bottleshop: For takeaway of beer, wine, spirits and related items, with a drive-thru to ease traffic.

At the bistro, on Sundays, they run a “Family Day” and sometimes offer “Kids Eat Half Price” deals.

At the pub, you will find

• A broad selection: beers on tap & bottles, Australian wines, cocktails.
• Given the “Cellardoor Wine Bar” section, wine & cocktails are emphasised in certain areas.
• In the beer garden, a full outdoor bar supports beverage service.

Events and Specials

• They run weekday “happy hour” specials.
• There are weekly specials like “Parma & Pot” (parmigiana + beer) on Tuesdays.
• Live sports viewing is a draw via the sports bar screens.
• Trivia nights, weekend sessions, and other events are advertised.
• The venue also appears in The Pass app as a loyalty / promotional venue, meaning they may run app-based deals.

The gaming lounge has pokies and TAB facility is available at the sports bar where you can watch live sports on big screens.
