The Royal Oak

"A Hotel of Uncommon Character" Begun in 1850, The Royal Oak Hotel has been continually licensed since that time. The Royal Oak Hotel is a 'home away from home' and is one of those rare modern pubs that eschews gaming machines and pay-tv, preferring instead the grand art of conversation and conviviality. The Royal Oak Hotel is a generational place; stories and legends have been made, and continue to be made, within its interior. "The Oak", as it is affectionately known, is the reference point for many of Launceston's citizens, past and present. It is unique, it is an icon. It is "a hotel of uncommon character".
