Best Pub in Bowral

A Lounge Experience Inspired by Heritage

Leslie Lounge is a quiet and inviting space tucked inside Links House, one of Bowral’s most loved heritage guesthouses. With its 1920s character, comfy armchairs, and views over the garden, the lounge feels like a true home away from home.

It’s not your usual pub. Here, the pace is slower, the setting more refined, and the drinks are carefully chosen to help you unwind.

Taste the Southern Highlands in Every Sip

Southern Highlands Wines

We serve premium wines from local vineyards, updated with each season. They pair perfectly with a good book or our cheese platter.

Craft Beers and Local Spirits

Try small-batch gins, whiskies, and beers from across the region. Each one tells a story of local makers and their craft.

Seasonal Bites from Ethos Kitchen

Our lounge menu is prepared by the team at Ethos and includes fresh, local produce. Light snacks designed for sharing or simple enjoyment.

A Place to Slow Down

Whether you’re a guest at Links House or just visiting, Leslie Lounge offers a calm space to relax. It’s perfect for:

  • An afternoon drink by the fire
  • A quiet chat with friends
  • A pre-dinner cocktail
  • Time to yourself with a glass of wine

Access is limited to in-house guests and private bookings, which means the space always feels personal.
