Arthur Laundy exchanges contracts on A$30 million Sydney pub

The article does not name the pub, so the site, the lease position and the vendor are not stated. For another Sydney sale in this edition, see the 130 Pitt Street sale campaign.

The numbers

The report puts the price at A$30 million. It places two other Sydney pub sales earlier this year well above that level.

• The Oaks Hotel in Neutral Bay sold for A$140 million to the Gallagher family, which operates Gallagher Hotels.
• The Royal Oaks Hotel in Double Bay sold for A$100 million to the Ryan family a few months later, in a deal negotiated by pub broker Andrew Jolliffe of HTL Property.

Jolliffe also gave national figures. He said pub transaction volume for the nine months to September was A$1.7 billion, in line with 2025. He said the past six weeks had shown a marked shift in both volume and ticket price, and that 2026 may surpass the previous 12 months.

He described the market as more calculated, with higher asset values on perhaps lower volumes.

What’s next

The key open question is the identity of the pub. The pub is not named in the report, so the price rests on the outlet’s account.

Separately, the report notes a Melbourne listing. The Bundoora Hotel at 49 Plenty Road, Bundoora, is listed with an asking price of A$65 million through JLL and Cropley Commercial. It is leased to ALH Group and sits on a 7,959 sqm site.

Exchange of contracts is not settlement, and the report gives no settlement date, so completion timing is not known from the source.
