Overview
The Norwood Hotel, located at 97 The Parade, is a vibrant hospitality precinct that blends traditional Aussie pub culture with the warmth of Irish hospitality through its dedicated Finn McCool’s Irish Bar. Together, they create a space that caters to everything from a quiet midweek pint to a full night of live music and revelry.
At the front of the venue is Finn McCool’s, an Irish pub with all the trademarks — Guinness on tap, dark timber finishes, warm lighting, and a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to enjoy classic Irish fare, raise a glass of whiskey, or catch live sport on the big screen in true Celtic style. Weekly events like pub trivia, live music, and happy hours keep the Irish spirit alive all year round.
Beyond the Irish bar, the broader Norwood Hotel includes a modern bistro and bar, offering everything from elevated pub classics to share plates and Sunday roasts. The beer garden is a sunny favourite for casual drinks, while the Norwood Live room hosts regular entertainment — from tribute bands and comedy to touring performers.
With friendly staff, flexible function spaces, and a strong drinks selection featuring local wines, beers, and Irish staples, the Norwood Hotel has something for everyone. It’s a reliable local that still feels like a destination — offering multiple experiences under one roof.
Whether you're after a Sunday session with mates, family lunch, or an Irish singalong with strangers who feel like friends, Norwood Hotel + Finn McCool’s delivers it with charm and cheer.
