Formerly a private residence occupied by Mrs Mary Cox in 1873, Mathew McKay founded O’Connell’s Centenary Hotel in 1876.  The name of this hotel refers to the birth centenary of Daniel O’Connell a leader in the fight for Catholic religious emancipation in Ireland. RH Williams, publican in 1909, would later take over Skinner’s Golden Gate Hotel before making his name as a Labor minister. 

O’Connell’s Centenary Hotel was well known for its restaurant under Chef Greg Malouf, which is currently headed by Kath Calker in 2003. O’Connell’s is a comfortable pub where upmarket dining coexists with a bar and bistro
