About The Riverina Hotel
It’s hard to talk about pubs in Wagga without the Riverina Hotel eventually finding its way into the conversation. Standing proudly on Fitzmaurice Street since 1851, “The Riv” has been pouring beers and offering country hospitality longer than just about any other venue in the region.
Step inside and you’ll find a pub that’s never lost sight of what makes a true local tick. With character and air-conditioned comfort, it remains a gathering place for regulars and newcomers alike. It’s here you’ll meet bar staff who greet you as warmly as if you’ve wandered into their home..
Yet while The Riv holds tight to its history, it’s far from stuck in time. The bistro runs all day, seven days a week, plating up the kind of pub classics that feel right at home in a venue with this much legacy, alongside Chef’s Daily Specials and wallet-friendly deals that bring families streaming through the doors. Kids are catered for with meals that come with a drink, ice-cream, and an activity pack, while anyone with a sweet tooth quickly learns not to look past Chef Brian’s desserts.
Trivia on Wednesday nights fills the pub with that particular mix of friendly rivalry and laughter, while sports fans take over the big screens to catch the action live and loud. Out on the verandah, locals linger over dinner and drinks as Fitzmaurice Street rolls by—a scene that hasn’t changed all that much in more than a century.
Across its 170-plus years, the Riverina Hotel has seen Wagga transform from the horse and cart doing laps of the main street to electric scooters… yet its role has remained constant: a dependable local where hospitality is genuine, food is hearty, beer is cold, and community sits at the heart of it all. It’s the sort of pub where newcomers quickly feel like regulars, and regulars feel like family—a hallmark venue that continues to earn its place in the story of Wagga.
