OUR STORY

The Bunch of Grapes is steeped in Ballarat history. Our exterior proudly states 1906 as the establishment date but records show the existence of a hotel on this site dating back to 1868 when
J. Currell was the publican.

It has been a popular watering hole due to its great location but, in fact, it was at its most popular during World War II, as it became the place to be for American marines who were
stationed here in Ballarat.

The hotel has always been closely tied with Ballarat and we’re excited to infuse our menu with our region’s fantastic produce.
