The North Wollongong Hotel is also known as The North Gong.
With the largest and greenest beer garden in Wollongong, The North Gong is ideal for an afternoon beverage or an evening cocktail.
Born in 1879, The North 'Gong Hotel was built by Theodore Bode who came from Hanover in Germany and was originally called The Royal Victoria Hotel.... probaly due to Queen Victorias German "roots".... apparently Victoria had a few sly ones of her own but thats another story....
The pub has had a few renovations and additions notably in 1933, 1955, 1998, and now in 2006. Some trivia.... The original building was about where the current back deck is and was built in the early part of last century after the original building was burnt to the ground and hence then the current building was built in the late 20's.... I think!!!
But regardless the date of it's original construction, The North Gong Hotel has remained the epicenter of Illawarra night life with it's warm and inviting hospitality and "yet to be out done" entertainment. Come to think of it, you name it... WE'VE GOT IT. From a quiet drink on a Monday, a little bit of Trivia on a Wednesday, hanging loose on a TGI Friday, Saturdays with DJ Hoppo mixing up soul, groove, all with a dash of party breaks... and finally bustin' out to the biggest named DJ's on North Gong's Sunday Sessions.
Finding great support within the local community has enabled The North Gong Hotel to constantly reinvent itself. As a result, over 2005 and 2006, there have been some great improvements and additions to the hotel, including: The New Lone Star Bar, First Floor Bar, Entertainment Facilities, kitchen, renovations to the Main Bar and also the adjoining deck. All of this has been cleverly built and designed whilst keeping the original charm and character of the Hotel. Our aim is to make each of your visits to the North Gong an enjoyable experience every time.
The philosophy of looking after patrons is the paramount consideration and as such The management of the Hotel have presented some of the biggest Dj’s and producers in the World and have done so for free. These artists included, Kaskade, Ian Pooley, Andy Ward, Fort Knox 5 and many others.
As part of one of Australian Leading Hotel groups, Laundy Hotels, the North Gong Hotel has been given every opportunity to become one of the signature hotels in Australia.
