In 2016, the Lantern Hotels Group purchased the long-established Ambarvale Tavern for a $21.2 million investment.
With over 33,000 new homes expected in the Greater Macarthur Priority Growth Area, the purchase prompted a large scale redevelopment to position the venue as the community’s premier entertainment hub. A multi-million dollar refurbishment of the venue would include a new greenhouse atrium, bar & bistro, gaming room, kids play area, and in-house brewery producing 68,000 litres per year appropriately named ‘The Ambarvale Brewing Company’.
After 12 months of development, the Ambarvale Hotel officially reopened in April 2019, where it was promptly described as the ‘pub to end all pubs’ by Hotelier Magazine.
