Shenanigans at The Imperial in Maitland  - a little piece of Ireland in your own backyard. Come and feel the craic that flows in this Dublin-designed Irish pub. Winner of Best Redeveloped Pub and Best Pub-Style Accommodation in the NSW Australian Hotels Association's, Awards for Excellence.

We guarantee you'll find a warm and friendly atmosphere, and of course, Guinness, Kilkenny, and much more, on tap.

And don't forget the food - all day, every day - our Bistro offers the biggest menu you'll ever see.

Irish originals, or the brine stung freshness of Port Stephen's oysters, or our specially aged beef.

The choice is simply outstanding!

Besides a huge range of beers on tap, our beverage list also includes the best wines from the biggest to the smallest vineyards in the Hunter - and why not, Shenanigans at The Imperial is the gateway to the Hunter wine country.

What's the Craic?
Craic is the Gaelic word for that unmistakable combination of chat, laughter, music and special atmosphere that is unique to Irish socialising.
