Rich with atmosphere, history and ambience, Eichardt’s Bar is quite unlike anything else on offer in Queenstown. The gold miners of the late 1800s may be long gone, but this chic and classically styled establishment gives a loving nod to a colourful past that is long gone but not forgotten.
The site of Eichardt’s Bar was once home to Queenstown’s first building—William Rees’ woolshed. The discovery of gold transformed Queenstown’s prosperity, and the establishment soon became a pioneer of hospitality and good service in the region.
To this day, Eichardt’s Bar has never forgotten the foundation upon which it was built. The atmosphere and decor inside Eichardt’s Bar is an ode to our heritage. Sofas sit adjacent a homely fireplace, complemented by elegant furnishings acknowledging eras both old and new.
