The Laundy Story
Four generations, countless beers poured, and a legacy built on good old-fashioned hospitality, that's the Laundy way. We kicked things off in 1945 with the Sackville Hotel in Rozelle and never looked back. Through grit, heart, and a knack for turning pubs into community icons, we've grown into one of NSW's most recognisable hospitality families. Today we have a diverse portfolio of 40+ venues that stretch from your trusty local, to boutique hotels and buzzy beachfront playgrounds. The heart of Laundy beats the same everywhere: Think Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, the Woolwich Pier, the Marsden Brewhouse, and beyond, where people gather, celebrate, commiserate, and everything in between. From schooners at the local to spritzes by the sea, we've built a reputation for blending tradition with just the right splash of spunk.
