Horse and Jockey Hotel Homebush

Relaxed Pub-Style Stay Near Sydney’s Biggest Concert Venues

This classic Aussie pub hotel offers a laid-back vibe and unbeatable location in Homebush, just a short drive or rideshare from some of Sydney’s biggest concert venues. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, a popular on-site bar, and free WiFi, the Horse and Jockey Hotel Homebush is a smart pick for music fans who want comfort without the high price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel is within 10 minutes’ drive of major venues like Qudos Bank Arena, ANZ Stadium, and Sydney Showground—making it easy to catch your favorite act and be back in your room before the encore has faded. Thanks to its pub-style setup, the noise is contained mostly in the bar area, so you can still get a good night’s sleep. Plus, with check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 10:30, there’s enough flexibility for most weekend concert schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for an affordable base near the action
- Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list gig
- Couples making a weekend of it
- Fans needing a quiet crash pad post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar serves classic pub meals that hit the spot before or after a concert. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’re within walking distance of other local eateries for late-night bites. Breakfast isn’t formally served, but there are nearby cafés open early for recovery-mode coffee and food.

Nightlife Options

The pub downstairs often has a lively (but not rowdy) atmosphere, perfect for pre-concert drinks or a wind-down after the show. You’re also just a short trip from bars and lounges around Sydney Olympic Park and Newtown if you want to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guest reviews highlight the “friendly staff,” “great location for concerts,” and the “clean, simple rooms.” Many visitors appreciate the combination of pub charm and practical amenities, especially for short stays centered around events.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are no-frills and located above a pub, so if you're super sensitive to sound, it may not be ideal on Friday or Saturday nights. There's also no lift, so pack light or be ready for a short stair climb.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay close to Sydney’s top live music venues, the Horse and Jockey Hotel Homebush hits the right notes.
