About
Welcome to The Maryland Tavern, the heart of our community and your new home away from home! Nestled on Maryland Drive, our fully renovated venue offers something for everyone, every day of the week. Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or entertainment, we’re just a stone's throw from the University of Newcastle and key locations like M1 Motorway, Wallsend, Minmi, and Jesmond.
Step into our family-friendly space where you can indulge in an innovative menu that reimagines Australian pub classics with a twist. From wood-fired pizzas that melt in your mouth to our signature chicken schnitzel, rump steaks, and creative burgers, each dish promises a taste of local flavour. If you're in the mood for relaxation, enjoy handcrafted cocktails or select from our extensive range of 20 different beers on tap.
The Maryland Tavern isn’t just about great food and drinks; it’s a vibrant hub for community life. Our state-of-the-art sports bar, featuring a massive TV wall, is the perfect place for catching the game. Meanwhile, kids can delight in our revolutionary play area, making it a stress-free outing for parents.
Looking for live entertainment? We’ve got you covered with local live music, creating the perfect backdrop for a night out. Plus, our venue is ideal for celebrating milestones - from first birthdays to golden anniversaries, offering versatile spaces tailored to your needs.
During the holidays, The Maryland Tavern transforms into a wonderland for kids with a host of fun-filled activities designed to spark creativity and joy. Our special holiday program includes interactive Pizza Making sessions where kids can toss their own dough and choose their toppings, creating delicious masterpieces to enjoy. The excitement continues with vibrant Dance Parties that get everyone moving, and artistic Face Painting where little ones can transform into anything from fierce tigers to magical fairies. Make us your go-to destination for holiday family fun, where great memories are made.
Rebuilt from the ground up and completed in early 2023, The Maryland Tavern can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests in our bistro. With two bars, two beer gardens, and a dedicated wood-fire pizza oven, we're equipped to make every visit memorable.
Come make The Maryland Tavern a part of your story. Our experienced, local, and passionate team is dedicated to serving up joy and creating a space that Maryland, Fletcher, and Wallsend can proudly call their own.
