About Dee Why Hotel

Loving local since ‘77

About Dee Why Hotel

Dee Why Hotel has always been about bringing the community together.

Owned and run by the Bayfield family since 1977, we’ve seen it all—from Sydney’s biggest live music acts in the ’80s, to nightclub dance floors in the ’90s. These days, we’re known for great pub food, famous burgers, and one of the best spots on the Beaches to catch all the live sports action.

As we move into 2025, we’re embracing the next chapter — refreshing our interiors, expanding our sports bar, and opening an elegant private event space to offer even more for our locals to enjoy.

Through it all, we’ve stayed true to what matters—serving up good food, great value, and that warm, familiar feeling you only get at your local.

Whether you’re here for a casual meal, a big game, or a special celebration, there’s always a place for you at Dee Why Hotel—still a true Northern Beaches institution.

Community Minded

At Dee Why Hotel, we’re more than just a local—we’re proud to give back to the community that’s supported us since the beginning.

For over 40 years, the Bayfield family has backed local schools, sporting teams, and hospitals, and are proud long-time supporters of the Warringah Rugby Club—donating over $2.2 million to date.

A cause that’s especially close to our hearts is the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia (CCIA). Through our annual charity luncheons and year-round fundraising, the Bayfield family has helped raise over $4.5 million to support their life-changing work.

Want to get involved? You can donate here, or grab one of our $3 Kids’ Activity Packs from the Brasserie—every dollar goes directly to the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia (CCIA).
