The Local Escape
Opened in 1932, the Huskisson Hotel is a long-established landmark located on Owen Street. Overlooking Jervis Bay, the venue is commonly known by locals as the Husky Pub. The venue combines a pub bistro and bar with outdoor dining areas, while its waterfront position places it within walking distance of Huskisson Wharf, shops and other town-centre attractions. The venue has indoor dining as well as a large wrap-around deck and balcony areas, giving visitors a choice between sheltered seating and outdoor dining. Its position overlooking Jervis Bay also makes the waterfront setting a central part of the experience.
