About Red Cow Hotel

Perched right opposite the railway station, this 19th-century Penrith landmark pairs crisp counter beers with breezy verandah dining. Locals swear by the generous chicken schnitzels and quick pub lunches, while the spacious beer garden fills fast for after-work rounds. Upstairs, the private Station View room quietly takes care of milestone birthdays and group celebrations with its own dedicated setup. Come game day, crowds gather to catch the footy vibe over pints and loaded fries.

  • Opposite Penrith Station: Directly across from the railway station and bus interchange, making arrivals effortless for group meetups.
  • Upstairs Verandah: Second-storey heritage seating offers an open-air streetscape view away from the bustling main bar.
  • Private Function Suite: The dedicated Station View room handles milestone birthdays and private celebrations with flexible catering setups.

Before you head over

Practical advice on transit, bar timing, and event planning for your visit

    Penrith railway station and bus interchange sit directly across the road with Westfield next door, making trains or buses the most seamless way to arrive without vehicle hassle.

  • Bar Timing on Busy Nights

    Cocktail service can face lengthy wait times when the pub is busy on lively nights, so stick to beers on tap or order early during peak entertainment hours.

  • Private Function Planning

    Upstairs private rooms allow flexible setup, refrigeration for external desserts, and early room access, while accommodating coeliac guests and wheelchair accessibility.
