About George IV
George IV Inn stands as a historic venue in Picton, operating as one of the oldest licensed premises in the country. The establishment maintains its colonial architecture and houses the Scharer’s Little Brewery, where traditional brewing methods produce a range of preservative-free beers. The venue includes multiple bars, a bistro serving seasonal Australian meals, and a large stone courtyard suitable for family dining. Its location provides a central meeting point for residents and visitors exploring the Wollondilly Shire's historical sites.
Situated a short distance from the Picton Botanic Gardens, the pub offers a base for those touring the regional landscape. The interior features exposed timber beams and open fireplaces, preserving the original structure of the 1839 construction. Facilities extend to on-site accommodation and function spaces designed for community events and private celebrations. The inn functions as both a local social hub and a location for heritage enthusiasts interested in well-preserved early nineteenth-century Australian architecture and hospitality traditions.
