Introduction

With locations in Dubbo NSW and Laverton VIC, the hotel has established itself as a reliable choice for both planned visits and spontaneous dining occasions.

Understanding what Westside Hotel offers requires examining each service component individually while recognizing how they work together to create a complete hospitality experience. From the kitchen operations that produce diverse menu items to the accommodation facilities managed under the Nightcap Hotels partnership, each element contributes to the venue's overall value proposition.

Dining Facilities and Menu Options

The bistro and restaurant facilities at Westside Hotel form the core of the dining experience, offering both in-house dining and takeaway options. The kitchen operates with separate lunch and dinner services, allowing for menu variation and fresh preparation throughout the day.

Bistro Menu Structure

The bistro menu encompasses traditional pub favorites alongside contemporary selections created by the head chef. Menu categories include share plates, Graziers steaks, pub classics, and specialized options for seniors and children. This structure ensures accessibility for different age groups and dietary preferences while maintaining a focus on quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers and Victorian producers where applicable.

Lunch service runs Monday through Sunday from 11:30am to 2:30pm, with dinner service operating from 5:30pm to 8:30pm daily including public holidays. The kitchen also produces daily chef specials that rotate based on seasonal availability and ingredient quality, providing regular patrons with menu variety beyond the standard offerings.

Dining Environment Options

Westside Hotel provides multiple dining environments to suit different occasions and preferences. The main bistro area offers family-friendly seating with a relaxed atmosphere suitable for group dining. Alfresco dining areas allow guests to enjoy meals outdoors during favorable weather conditions. For those preferring a more casual setting, meals are also served in the sports bar area, with finger food and pizza options available in a contemporary environment focused on sports viewing.

Bookings are recommended for in-house dining, particularly during peak periods and weekends. The venue also accommodates meal pickup and delivery services, extending the dining experience beyond the physical premises for customers preferring to eat at home or in accommodation.

Bar Facilities and Beverage Selection

Westside Hotel operates distinct bar areas designed for different customer preferences and occasions. The separation between lounge bar and sports bar environments allows guests to choose settings that match their intended experience.

Sports Bar Features

The sports bar provides a dedicated space for watching live sports action while enjoying beverages with friends. Facilities include multiple screens for simultaneous game viewing, pool tables for recreational play, and seating arrangements that facilitate group gatherings. The bar stocks a comprehensive range of beer, wine, and spirits, with tap beer options prominently featured.

Sports bar hours typically run from 12:00pm until late daily, providing afternoon and evening access for after-work drinks and weekend sports viewing. The environment is designed to be warm and friendly while maintaining focus on the sports entertainment aspect that defines this area.

Lounge Bar Atmosphere

The lounge bar offers a contrasting environment focused on relaxation and style. This area suits guests seeking a quieter atmosphere for conversation, with seating designed for comfort rather than sports viewing. The lounge bar serves the full beverage range including cocktails and coffee, positioning itself as suitable for both daytime refreshment and evening drinks.

The stylish decor and layout differentiate the lounge bar from the sports bar, creating distinct zones within the overall venue that cater to different customer needs without requiring separate premises.

Accommodation Services

Westside Hotel in Laverton operates accommodation facilities in partnership with Nightcap Hotels, providing 13 double rooms and 1 family room. The accommodation component addresses the needs of travelers requiring overnight stays in Melbourne's southwest suburbs, particularly those accessing the Princess Freeway corridor.

Rooms feature modern furnishings with comfortable beds and fresh decor designed to provide a restful environment. The accommodation is positioned as affordable while maintaining quality standards, making it suitable for both business travelers and families requiring budget-conscious lodging options.

The integration of accommodation with dining and bar facilities provides guests with convenient access to meals and entertainment without requiring vehicle use after check-in. This combination is particularly valuable for travelers arriving after long drives or those attending functions held at the venue.

Function and Event Facilities

Westside Hotel maintains dedicated function rooms suitable for business conferences and special occasions including weddings. The function facilities provide a separate space from the main dining and bar areas, allowing private events to proceed without disruption from regular venue operations.

Function packages are available through direct inquiry, with the venue able to accommodate various event sizes and catering requirements. The combination of function space, in-house catering from the bistro kitchen, and bar services creates a comprehensive event solution that simplifies planning for organizers.

For business users, the function facilities offer a professional environment for conferences, training sessions, and corporate gatherings. The availability of audio-visual equipment and flexible room configurations supports different event formats from presentations to seated dinners.

Bottle Shop Services

The drive-through bottle shop component provides retail alcohol sales for customers purchasing beverages to consume off-premises. Operating hours vary by day, with extended hours on Thursday through Saturday to accommodate weekend purchasing patterns.

The bottle shop stocks essential supplies across beer, wine, and spirits categories, functioning as a convenience option for local residents and hotel guests. The drive-through format reduces transaction time and provides weather protection during purchases.

Location and Accessibility

Westside Hotel operates two distinct locations serving different regional markets. The Dubbo location at 22-30 Whylandra Street in West Dubbo NSW serves the central west region of New South Wales. The Laverton location at the corner of Fitzgerald and Leakes Roads serves Melbourne's southwest suburbs in Victoria.

Both locations provide parking facilities and are positioned on main roads for easy access. The Laverton venue's proximity to the Princess Freeway makes it particularly accessible for travelers, while the Dubbo location serves as a local hospitality hub for the regional city.
