Fantastic pub, the staff were awesome and such a great atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping in

I didn't stay the night just dropped in. What a wonderful town and great local pub! Like a mini museum!

Top little pub in a top little town overflowing with history. Friendly staff and locals make this a worthwhile place to stop in for a Tooheys Old. Enjoy.

Sofala is a very quirky little village with a rich history as one of the first gold towns in Australia. The Royal is a great community pub and good spot to stop for a drink either inside, fronting onto the main street, or out the back overlooking the Turon River. The pub doesn't serve food but the cafe over the road does and is happy to run it over when they aren't too busy. Beer prices were $10/schooner as a guide. They have pub darts and there is a pool table and old school jukebox out the back.

Old fashioned pub, nothing fancy. Pies & bags of chips. Customers & staff very friendly. Cafe opposite. Open 3 days a week, at the moment. They have just started up.

One of the best poured schooners in NSW. None of this one pour garbage. Love coming here a top place to relax amd enjoy a coldie.

Great little country pub, friendly locals and cold beer and plenty of history on the walls.
No meals were available when I was there but pies and sausage rolls were available over the bar.
Social club does bbqs from the pub on occasion too

Great old fashion pub and town friendly locals and there's a camping ground about 300m away right by the river

Always been a great little pub

Great little pub opens at 12 pm great staff

Beautiful town must see if your passing through

Love this old pub. Been a few times and it reminds me of what a pub used to be. No pokies, locals with a story, no frills. Just good feels.

Nice place for a stopover. A little pub with plenty of character. Situated in the old Gold rush town from the 1870's in a narrow street with lots of old historic buildings surrounding.

Great pub at Sofola, nice cafe accross the road with goid coffee

Great country pub, full of history, take a step back in time and stop for a refreshing drink on your sightseeing drives of the old gold mining area. Very friendly staff, nice clean amenities. Loved it !

Traditional country pub full of history. Friendly locals and bar staff. Pies were pretty good - sourced from Dubbo I'm told.

Sofala is one of the oldest places for panning for gold. It is one of the last still surviving towns for searching for gold. A light stroll around the town and you will find the small creek running behind the town. Only 2 and half hours from Penrith were we live. Wether its cold or warm worth the drive.

Nice country pub. Great view in the back area. Unfortunately no food.

We enjoyed a couple of beers at the Hotel, enjoyable location, it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.

A great country pub with friendly staff and locals.
Sofala is a great place to have a look at.

Very picturesque place, full of history
