Curlewis: Commercial Hotel
21 Railway St.
A large grassy area next to the pub will suit your camping needs.
The Commercial Hotel - a great find at the end of a days travelling - camping is on a level area at the side of the pub and is free for those who join the locals for a few drinks or you may even stay for dinner.
The regular raffle is also a great way to support this small and very friendly community.
If you’re headed Curlewis way on your travels make sure you stay over - highly recommend - great country hospitality.
A great pub with fantastic food and great beer only 10 minutes south of Gunnedah, in the heart of the Liverpool Plains
Serving meals from 6.30pm, open from 11am Monday to Saturday, from Midday Sunday
24hr toilets, showers available. Pub style rooms- and self contained cabins.
The Commercial Hotel turned 100 in 2012.
Pretty much the whole town came along to help celebrate.
When it was built, it was the grandest building on the dusty main street of Curlewis.
Today the streets are paved.
And the pub is still the grandest building in town.
" Visitors to the pub comment on the friendliness of the place. Funny, because we locals take a warm country welcome for granted.
What can you expect at the Commercial?
Friday Night Raffle. Always popular, but especially when it jackpots.
Real food. We cook the kind of food that made country pubs famous. Plus a few surprises.
Smiles all around. The pub is a meeting place for locals, travellers and visiting workers. You’ll hear some yarns and share a few laughs".
Irish Willie, the friendly ghost
" A few guests have felt the presence of our friendly ghost, William McAlister McFall, known around town as Irish Willie.
Willie arrived in 1950 from Ballymena, Ireland. He boarded a train in Sydney with just enough money to get as far as Curlewis. So that’s where he got off, and this is where he lived for many years.
When Willie died his ashes were returned to Ireland, but it seems Willie’s heart was really here in the pub."
