Welcome to the official website of the Berwick Inn Hotel.

History

The Berwick Inn Hotel (Established 1857) known as the Border Hotel in the 1800s was an important local centre and asides from being the first pub on the town site it was also a destination watering hole for horse-drawn coaches en route to Gippsland.

It is recorded that the first form of local government and its initial meetings were held at the hotel in the early 1860s. The hotel also served as a licensing court with the first local police court hearing being held in 1865.

The hotel was built in an area that was initially known as Cardinia Creek which was an adaptation of the indigenous name for the waterway - 'Kar-Din-Yarr' - which means 'looking at the rising sun'. That area now the Berwick is a region within the Casey Council and boasts an ever-growing population of 30 000.* The hotel is approximately 45 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD and it is local common knowledge that the pub is much loved in the hearts of many locals.

At present

The heritage listed venue operates on spilt level floors as a bistro, bar, function and live entertainment venue all at the foot of rolling hills, the strip of local specialty shops and amongst the old-English trees that were more than likely sown by the hands of early township residents some many years ago.
