A Historic Latrobe Pub Serving the Community Since 1870
The Lucas Hotel is more than just a local pub — it’s part of Latrobe’s story. With a rich history dating back to 1870 and a strong connection to the community, we’ve grown from a colonial watering hole into a welcoming space for food, events, and good company.
150 Years of Local Hospitality in Latrobe
The Lucas Hotel has stood proudly on Gilbert Street since 1870, making it one of the oldest pubs in Latrobe and a long-standing part of northern Tasmania’s story. Originally built to serve the growing number of settlers arriving in the area, the hotel quickly became a social hub — a place to rest, gather, and share a drink.
From the early days of timber and trade to the evolution of Latrobe as a regional centre, the Lucas has remained at the heart of the community. Its colonial stonework and classic architecture speak to its past, while its walls hold the stories of generations who’ve passed through its doors. It’s more than just a pub — it’s a local landmark shaped by the people who’ve kept it going for over 150 years.
