The Carriage

Overview

Spending time on a tram isn't everybody's idea of a great time, but Penrith has a new food and drink spot that'll have you heading out to catch the next service. The Carriage, located in the carpark of the already popular O'Donoghues Irish Pub, is framed around a reinvigorated 1964 Berlin tram and is serving up American-style street food and drinks.

To eat, there's a rousing selection of burgers, brisket and loaded fries, and some exciting creations like the Risk it for the Brisket — a beef patty topped with 12-hour smoked brisket, bacon jam and house-made pickles all sealed in a milk bun. Keeping you refreshed are favourites like Canadian Club and Pimm's, both on tap, and there's a host of wine and beer to choose from, too.

Open Friday and Saturday nights, and all-day Sunday, The Carriage's expansive outdoor seating area has enough space to sit all your mates, and there's a bevy of local musicians coming through to keep everyone entertained all weekend long.

What started out as a side project for O'Donoghues turned into a much more expansive endeavour. The Carriage — which will play host to a series of gigs over the upcoming months, including Thundamentals in May — hopes to become a key player in Penrith's growing nightlife.
