Noise Bar (Railway Hotel)

Built in 1890 during the land boom era this magnificent three story building houses the Noise Bar, the Noise TV production facilities, the Australian Musicians' Union offices and the Northern Access Television offices. The bar itself has that old timer fell about it featuring a spacious front bar with pool, pinballs and a big projector screen. The back bar features a stage with great acoustics and regular live acts. This back bar opens up to a small courtyard adjacent to the railway and a bigger beer garden situated between the main building and "The Venue" function room that also features a stage, a dance floor a smaller bar and plenty of space. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. The Noise Bar offers something for everyone because of its policy of supporting local art and culture both directly through performances (they've had bands, comedy, cabaret, poetry, dance parties, album launches etc.) as well as through the production of the Noise TV program. The Noise bar is constantly evolving so this is the one to watch out for and visit.
