Locals time their visits for the Tuesday steak deal—a dependable sirloin paired with classic pub sides.

    Unwind in a comfortable heritage venue enhanced by an indoor live fireplace in the cooler months.

Before you head over

Practical advice for visiting, dining, and navigating match days and specials at the Donnie

  • Target Tuesday for Steak Specials

    Tuesday nights feature a popular recurring steak special that offers high value, making it a reliable evening for a budget-conscious meal.

  • Anticipate Race Day Crowds

    The hotel fills up rapidly and shifts to standing room only following races at nearby Royal Randwick; plan to arrive early to secure seating.

  • Utilize Secure On-Site Parking

    Guests arriving by car can take advantage of secure underground parking on site, which is typically free when making a bar purchase.
