Established2000

Harrigan's is a pub and bistro set among the vineyards on Broke Road at Pokolbin, with a contemporary Australian feel over rustic bones of fireplaces and booths. The bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days, with lunch specials and late-night pizzas among the menus. Outside there is an alfresco terrace for warm weather, and inside a sports bar with big screens. Live music plays on Friday and Saturday nights and again on Sunday afternoons.

Service runs in blocks: breakfast to mid-morning, lunch around midday, a snack menu through the afternoon, and dinner from the early evening. Children are welcome, function spaces are on hand for groups, and there are rooms upstairs for a night nearby. That makes it an easy base within walking reach of the Pokolbin wineries. Bookings are not required, though a table is worth reserving for a weekend dinner.
