25.01.2022 Jean Valjean felt his heart melt within him with delight, at all these sparks of a tenderness so exclusive, so wholly satisfied with himself alone. The poor man trembled, inundated with angelic joy; he declared to himself ecstatically that this would last all their lives; he told himself that he really had not suffered sufficiently to merit so radiant a bliss, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted him to be loved thus, he, a wretch, by these inn...ocent children. Now, youre probably wondering why Im trotting out this passage from the great Frog author Victor Hugos classic Les Miserables. Ill tell you why. This is what the old cheese-eating surrender monkey uttered when the kids told him they were bringing him down the Junkyard today and shouting him a slap-up feed and all the piss he can drink for Fathers Day. Even the $37 mixed grill with a 200g rump, two lamb loin chops, a sausage, bacon, egg and roast tomato served with chips? Jean asked his progeny, his focus trained on his notoriously judgmental teenage vegan daughter Antoinette, usually militant in her loathing for carnivores. Even the mixed grill, she replied, rolling her healthy doe eyes but her lips betraying the hint of a loving smile for her totes embarrassing sire. And can I have the $15 hickory chicken wings for a starter and the $17 pork roast if Im still hungry after the mixed grill? Jean inquired. To which les infants replied: Dad, its Fathers Day. You can do whatever you want. Jean Valjean scratched his stubbled chin and a look of mischief entered his eyes. Can I get pissed and soil myself? he asked, pulling the fruits of his seed in tight for a bearhug and noting with great joy that on this special day they never flinched or rushed to pull away. Yes Dad, they droned good-naturedly. Its Fathers Day. You can get pissed and soil yourself. One of us will drive. The moral of the story is simple. Good fathers are to be honoured today. Good fathers can do whatever they want today and still be in the good books. There is no better place to spend Fathers Day than the sunkissed Junkyard beer garden, telling shocking Dad jokes (a cheese factory exploded in France - da brie is everywhere!), sinking schooners, munging on a classic pub feed (I recommend the special monster mixed grill, a proper naughty daddy indulgence) then kicking back from 3.30pm and getting pleasantly sauced while listening to the human jukebox Ngariki. Then, on the way home in your chauffeured vehicle, you can drop your guts with terrible force and pungent stench and no one can do a single thing about it. You know why? Because its Fathers Day.

25.01.2022 What a stunning last gasp of winter for an afternoon of soaking up the rays and live music of Kingsley James and a version of Magpie Diaries in the Junkyard beer garden. It is a privilege to be alive.

25.01.2022 Like all the great duos - Hall and Oates, Bugs and Daffy, Waldorf and Statler, Sterling and Kenny, Lillee and Thomson, gin and tonic, Buttman and Throbbin, ham and cheese, baked beans and toast - there is something in the chemistry that creates effortless magic. And so it is with live music at the Junkyard and Coopers Pale Ale. Our pub was one of the first in the Hunter to run the iconic South Australian brew on tap more than a decade ago and it quickly became one of our most... popular tipples, especially among our music-loving crowd. To celebrate the return of Coopers Pale and live music on tap, over the next four Sundays we will be shouting a schooner of this sweet, sweet nectar to the first 25 people through the door from 3.30pm onwards who utter the magic words I love me some Junkyard, I love me some live music and I love me some Coopers. No pressure, but you have to recite this incantation word for word and the schooner will be yours. First shout today when the legendary human jukebox Ngariki launches Your Sunday Finest in the beer garden, our first foray back into live music in the COVID-19 era. See you all down here. See more

25.01.2022 The latest instalment of Your Sunday Best will feature the considerable talents of Bodie Sauceman this week. Bodie is one of those blessed buggers who make you a bit crook to be honest. Not only is he a dynamite drummer, he plays a mean guitar, writes great songs and is touched by a bit of the Al Green when it comes to his sweet and soulful vocals. All in all the perfect Sunday soundtrack in the springtime sunshine out in the beer garden. Gig starts at 3.30pm and as always in these live-music-starved times we suggest you get in nice and early to secure a prime table. Bistro open for lunch and dinner and $15 jugs of beer all day. You wouldnt be lemon spread for quids.

25.01.2022 Good morning legends. What a peach of a day for the long-awaited homecoming of our very own witch queen of New Orleans, Zoe K, in the beer garden from 3.30pm in the latest instalment of our dynamite Your Sunday Best musical program. Were expecting a solid crowd for this one so be sure to get here early to snaffle a sweet table. Well keep you warm, lubricated and entertained with heaters pumping outside and $15 jugs of beer from 12pm to 6pm. Bistro open for lunch and dinner. Knights v Sea Eagles and Tigers v Bulldogs on the idiot boxes. Plenty of good banter about COVID and the weather as always.

24.01.2022 P I N K L E M O N A D E Vodka // Malibu // Cranberry // Lime $15 cocktail jugs tonight 6-8pm Choose from pink lemonade, mojito, margarita, and sangria

24.01.2022 THIS WEEKS SPECIAL: Chicken and Bacon Pot Pie w/ beer battered chips // $16 Starts tonight

24.01.2022 Tickets selling fast for the hottest NYE party in the Land of Mates. They're being snapped up in groups. Get one before they're all gone.

24.01.2022 Weve locked in the next round of performers for Your Sunday Best at the Junkyard and what a bunch of balltearers they are. This Sunday, August 30 we will swoon to the honeyed sounds of Matt and Jess Johnston from Magpie Diaries with some way groovy special guests. You have to be steamy lovers to make music this gorgeous. They are. The following Sunday, September 6 were giving all the daddies out there a Fathers Day present from the top shelf in the nurturing form of the Pa...pa Bear himself, the human jukebox, the mighty force Ngariki. We recommend you book a table for lunch and settle in for the gig with the family. Then on Sunday, September 13 we have a rare solo performance from one of the most consistently compelling and mesmerising guitarists of all time, not just here but anywhere, Nick Raschke. From his days in the band of bands, The Slots, to Junko mainstays Milestones, Nick has been blowing minds with his incendiary playing from another planet. The series of cover songs he did during COVID lockdown went viral around the world and he might pull some of them out if you ask sweetly. All gigs start at 3.30pm in the beer garden. Bistro open for lunch and dinner and $15 jugs of beer all day. In these strange music-starved times we strongly recommend you get your mob together and book a table to avoid disappointment. See more

23.01.2022 We here at the Junkyard are as amped as a stoned surfie making sweet salty love to a blonde bombshell in the back of a decked Sandman panelvan after an endless summer session taming perfect crystal cylinders. And that’s about as amped as you can get, ladies and gentlemen. The reason for our peak ampage is simple - we have locked in a monster New Year’s Eve line-up that will go down in history as one of the greats in our long and storied December 31 tradition. Kingsley James, ...Autumn Hearts, Lachlan X Morris, Fish Fry and Pow Wow. Put that in your sheesha and smoke it. A quiver of Junkyard favourites kicking out the jams from 6pm in the beer garden and the good times will roll until 2am. Tickets are $50 and strictly limited due to the current restrictions. Every NYE bash at the Junko has sold out over the past decade. Every single one of them has been a glorious triumph. Get your crew together and you’ve basically got platinum box seats to your own private music festival. Don’t be the dork outside knockin’ while the Sandman’s rockin’. https://events.humanitix.com/new-year-s-eve-at-the-junkyard

23.01.2022 If you’re anything like us and think that there is nothing better than a cold Coopers on a hot day, you’re in luck!! Jugs of Coopers are only $15 for the rest of November

22.01.2022 CHEAP COCKTAIL FRIDAYS Don’t forget we have $15 cocktail jugs 6-8pm Friday nights Sex on the Beach // Sangria // Passionfruit Caprioska // Margarita // Mojito // Pink Lemonade Vodka

22.01.2022 $15 BEER JUGS Saturday & Sunday 12pm-6pm

22.01.2022 Strap yourselves in for one of the great spring afternoons, ladies and gentlemen. The Junkyard beer garden will echo to the otherworldly sounds of one of the most consistently compelling and mesmerising guitarists of all time, Nick Raschke. From his early days in the band of bands, The Slots, to Junko mainstays Milestones, Nick has been blowing minds with his incendiary playing from another planet. The series of cover songs he did during COVID lockdown went viral around the w...orld and he might pull some of them out if you ask sweetly. Nick will be backed by Milestones mates Steve Morton on drums and Teej Johnston on bass in trio mode. Gig starts at 3.30pm and with Brian Bury forecasting 26 degrees and sunny we strongly suggest you get in nice and early to secure a prime table. Bistro open for lunch and dinner and $15 jugs of beer all day. You wouldnt be brown bread for quids. See more

20.01.2022 Sunday afternoon get yourself to the Junkyard in Maitland. I’ll be kicking off the afternoon playing an original set and then jumping up with the beautiful and talented Katie Brianna, playing songs you know and some you don’t know. Show kicks off at 4pm. Katie Garfie

20.01.2022 Sadly we have had to postpone the latest edition of Your Sunday Best this arvo in the beer garden due to it pissing down and the overwhelming prospect of it continuing to piss down. Never fear, Lyle Dennis and Mick Daley will be rescheduled in the coming weeks so we'll all get to hear the new tunes these titans of booze-soaked country rock'n'roll have been collaborating on. Our attention now turns to the idiot box for the NRL decider between upstarts Penrith and old dogs Melb...ourne. Can the Panthers, the best team all year, go the whole hog and withstand what is guaranteed to be a full rectal examination without lubricant or gloves from the heavyweight Storm who have been there, done that and have a habit of peaking when their rivals are coming down and desperate to leave the rave? Will the greatest player to ever lace on a boot, Cameron Smith, referee the mountain men out of the contest, lead the Storm to victory with his unmatched bag of magic tricks then announce he has no intention of retiring until he's 60? Maybe the king of the chicken wing, creator of the crusher and inventor of the double-fisted ear scrub (a savage move featured in the accompanying photograph) will brazenly go full unapologetic grub and get Nathan Cleary in a Camel Clutch, piledriver or figure-four leg lock, safe in the knowledge he possesses the whistle and would never send himself off in a trial game against the Warriors in Orange, let alone a grand final. All will be revealed. The women's big dance between the Roosters and Broncos kicks off proceedings around 4pm. Nothing gets the blood pumping faster than unhinged chicks with incredibly silky footy skills bashing the shit out of each other. $15 jugs of beer all day and bistro open for lunch and dinner. See you down here legends. See more

19.01.2022 Dear Grand Junction locals, we are thrilled to announce your pub is back in the Roose familys hands, where it belongs. The experiment with leasing the pub clearly didnt work how wed hoped, but theres no point sooking over spilled grog. From July 6 the pub will be operated and staffed by the third generation of the Roose family. Ben, who learned the ropes at his grandad Petes feet, will be managing a team that includes Reilly, Bella, Georgia, Scarlett and all your favouri...te devoted barmaids. Melissa will still be booking the world-class music that has made the Junkyard a legendary name far and wide. The bistro is going back to the classics with a menu designed by Agnes, the best in the business. Tooheys New and Coopers Pale Ale are back on tap. Alls right with the world.

17.01.2022 An intergenerational collision of musical comets will be visible in the sky directly above the Junkyard from about 3.30pm this arvo when the evergreen lawmaker Gleny Rae and the hot young gunslinger Billy Black team up for the latest instalment of Your Sunday Best in the beer garden. Gleny Rae, player of several instruments obscenely well, gorgeous singer and talented writer of songs. Billy Black, guitar picker of the highest order, man out front for Doc and the Delegates, th...e cooking bluegrass throwbacks who quickly became Junko favourites. Its a bit Yothu Yindi this morning but the only extreme weather later on will be generated by this dynamite duo and their cyclonic meeting of musical minds.

What better way to launch our first program of events, titled Your Sunday Best, than under the imposing yet nurturing gaze of human jukebox Ngariki, the safest pair of hands in the business and a bona fide legend of the pub. Ngariki will be followed on Sunday, July 26 by local treasure Zoe K, who is back in town from her adopted New Orleans... and itching to unleash all the slick chops she has honed while performing and recording with some of the giants of American music.

09.01.2022 Old golden tonsils Andy Abra and some extraordinary special guests take centre stage for this week's instalment of Your Sunday Best at the Junkyard. Music lovers are no doubt as toey as a Roman sandal after the rain pissed all over Bodie Sauceman's sweet parade last week. Bummer Bodie, but never fear, we'll plan another one. The conditions have been awfully Yothu Yindi pretty much ever since, deadset blowing dogs off chains, sending otherwise sane people troppo, but the great... Brian Bury assures us the Sabbath will be warm and sunny with the faintest spring zephyrs caressing our unleashed guns which are, quite frankly, desperate for a natural injection of vitamin D straight from the source. Sun's out, guns out in the beer garden. Gig starts at 3.30pm. If you haven't heard Andy before, the man is more Johnny Cash than Joaquin Phoenix could ever dream of being in his wildest wet one. $15 jugs of beer all day. Footy on the idiot boxes inside. See you down here legends. See more

07.01.2022 A little ray of sunshine is about to brighten up a week that has otherwise been about as dark, damp and gloomy as Peter Duttons personality. Todd Teej Johnston, one of the pillars upon which the Junkyards stellar musical reputation has been built, will be the star attraction for the third instalment of Your Sunday Best in the beer garden from 3.30pm. The Sheik of Freak, the Ginger Pinger Ninja, Teejuana Brass, The Funky Wombat, The Boss Cocky, the bum-crack coin-drop ch...ampion of the galaxy and the best all-rounder since Keith Miller with a vocal and multi-instrumental mastery that is truly a sight and a sound to behold. Teej has been slaying us for the best part of a quarter century (Jesus, say that out loud a few times) with legendary Junko favourites including The Lairs, The Fiends, Milestones, Dave Wells, Magpie Diaries, Dashville Progress Society and many, many more. Today, as always, you can bank on this spectacular bloodnut to get the job done with a little help from his friends. $15 beer jugs 12pm to 6pm. Bistro open for lunch and again from 5pm for dinner.

05.01.2022 It is a fact of life that most of the worlds most pressing problems have been solved over a counter lunch at the pub. Many of you may not be aware that the smallpox vaccine was developed by the scientist Edward Jenner over a lunchtime schnitty and schooey in 1796. Likewise, Gorbachev and Reagan brokered the historic deal that ended the Cold War in 1991 after nailing a massive countery (Gorby had bangers and mash, old dribbling Ronnie had the mixed grill) and ditching work to... settle in for the arvo. Bugger going back, declared Ronnie in his thick southern drawl. That feeds pulled me up and these beers are going down too easy. What do you reckon Mick me old mate, switch to the JDs soon? To which Gorby casually replied: Youre an ideas man Ron. Its not like we have to explain ourselves to the boss. The great lunchtime countery tradition gets a new lease of life from today at the Junkyard. We have a new $13 menu and theres no better spot to break up the tedious work day than our beer garden with the sun beating down. Well have you in and out with time to spare and if youre contemplating giving work the rissole and pulling up stumps well help twist that rubber arm. Whether youre a team of tradies looking for a top feed and a sweet midday oasis to hang a bit of slander on the apprentice, or an office mob eager to work on the tan while trading scuttlebutt about the grubby middle manager who is as useless as tits on a bull and more touchy-feely than an octopus trying to pork a set of bagpipes, weve got you sorted.

04.01.2022 Sadly we have had to postpone the latest instalment of Your Sunday Best featuring Bodie Sauceman in the beer garden this arvo. Bloody rain. It’s a pain in the arse, but in the immortal words of Tony Soprano, whaddayagonnado. I tellayawhaddayagonnado, you gonna suck it up, put a suitable parka on and head down anyway for $15 jugs of beer, a delicious countery, footy on the idiot box and a yarn with the locals. See you down here.
