Welcome to The Riverview Hotel & Dining
Established in 1880, the Riverview is a meticulously renovated historic hotel, a local landmark, nestled in the heart of Balmain.
A favourite of locals since its inception, and situated over 2 levels in its cosy, quiet locale, the hotel combines bar, dining and lounging, creating the perfect atmosphere for all occasions.
The "Riv" has evolved through changes spanning a couple of centuries, to become one of Sydney's favourite hotels, melding its rich pub traditions with a quintessential local experience that only a true Balmain pub can offer.
The Riverview is, and will continue to be, all about enjoying great food and drink at good prices in relaxed, comfortable surroundings - just what you'd like your favourite local to be.
