Two bands. One weekend. Zero decisions left for you to make. 🎧

Friday, Dreamcatchers set the tone. Saturday, Lithium takes it home. Different sound, same result – two nights out that are actually worth getting off the couch for.

Mark it in the calendar now so future-you isn't scrambling for plans come Friday arvo.

This is your sign to lock in the Mary Ellen this weekend 🎶

The race that stops the nation also happens to be the best excuse for an office field trip. 🏇

Melbourne Cup is peak Aussie tradition – everyone gathers round, nobody actually knows the horses, and somehow it's still the best few minutes of the year. This year, skip the office kitchen sweep and bring the whole team down to the Mary Ellen instead. Doors open 10am Tuesday 3 November, with Cup Day action across every screen, a flower wall for the team photo, sweeps, prizes and giveaways all day long.

Book the Brasserie and everyone gets a complimentary glass of bubbles to toast the occasion – plus full TAB service if anyone in the office fancies a flutter. It's the kind of team bonding that doesn't feel like team bonding, and honestly, no notes.

Popular day, limited tables – lock in the office booking before someone else claims your spot.

The Kangaroos are about to open their World Cup campaign, and there's only one place to watch it. 🏉

Australia takes on New Zealand tomorrow night in the opening match of the Rugby League World Cup, and the Mary Ellen is where you want to be. Big screens, cold drinks, a crowd that actually cares – this is finals-level atmosphere for a group-stage game.

Round up the group chat and get here early, because everyone's got the same idea.

Tomorrow night, live at the Mary Ellen. 🇦🇺

Monday. The most Monday of all Mondays. 🐔

Good news: it's also Schnitty Night at the Mary Ellen, and that's about as good as a Monday gets. Hand-crumbed chicken breast schnitzel, chips and salad, $20 – from 5:30pm to 8pm.

No cooking, no cleaning, no reason to sulk your way through dinner. Consider this your sign to let tonight be the easy win.

Silly season is closer than it feels. 🎄

Whether it's the office crew, the friend group, or the whole family finally getting a date in the diary, the Mary Ellen is where you go to actually celebrate – not just squeeze in around everyone else's plans.

Fair warning though: function bookings fill up fast this time of year, especially weekends, and once they're gone, they're gone. If you're even thinking about locking in your end-of-year celebration, now's the time.

Plot twist: the race that stops the nation, and you're the one calling the shots. 🏇

No set ticket price. No "pick your one w**e or b**r." No set menu telling you what you're eating. Melbourne Cup at the Mary Ellen is pay-as-you-go, your way – order what you actually want off the à la carte menu, and take your pick from the full bar, premium b**rs, w**es and cocktails included, not just the house pour.

Doors open 10am Tuesday 3 November, with Cup Day action across every screen, a flower wall ready for your fascinator's big moment, plus sweeps, giveaways and TAB service if you're feeling lucky. Book the Brasserie and there's a complimentary glass of bubbles in it for you too.

It's the day that stops the nation – spend it exactly how you want, at the Mary Ellen.

POV: it's 3pm on a Wednesday, today's been a lot, and you just remembered you forgot to take the mince out of the freezer this morning. 🧊😩

Relax. We've got you. Tonight it's Pasta Night at the Mary Ellen.

You've earned this one. 👉 Book online: https://maryellenhotel.com.au/book-now/

Winter season's wrapped, and what a season it's been for our sponsored clubs. 🏉🏐

Huge congratulations to the Brown Snakes Rugby Club – all teams played hard this season, and the Friday Night 4s took out the Grand Final. Well deserved.

To Nova Netball Club – an outstanding season from start to finish, and one of the best clubs in Newcastle to get behind. We love supporting you.

And to Souths Rugby League – 1st Grade premiers and Club Champions. Absolutely elite.

Being your sponsoring pub is one of the best parts of what we do. Thanks for having us on board, and here's to backing you all again next season.

Come celebrate with us at the Mary Ellen. 🍻
