DP Hotel
The iconic Dinner Plain Hotel is back.
Following a complete internal refurbishment, the mountain’s original and most loved gathering place is reopening for the 2026 Winter Alpine Season.
Featuring a huge lounge, three spectacular open fireplaces, a welcoming bar, and a warm country hospitality experience, the Dinner Plain Hotel is the perfect place to start - or finish - your alpine adventure.
As Dinner Plain’s very first commercial establishment, the hotel has been at the heart of the village for decades. Whether you’re cycling, horse riding, hiking, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, building snowmen, or simply exploring this stunning alpine wonderland, there’s no better place to gather, relax, and share stories from the day.
Dinner Plain is the perfect base for all your winter adventures, and when you’re ready to tackle the slopes, Mt Hotham - Australia’s Powder Capital - is just minutes away.
After a day in the mountains, settle in beside one of our roaring open fires, enjoy a meal, a drink, and the atmosphere that makes the Dinner Plain Hotel such a special destination.
Monday: Closed
Tuesday: Bar 3pm to 9pm, Kitchen 5pm to 8pm
Wednesday to Saturday: Bar 12pm to 10pm, Kitchen 12pm to 3pm and 5pm to 8pm
Sunday: Bar and Kitchen 12pm to 3pm, closed in the evening
Fires are roaring, kitchen's cooking. See you at the pub.
Grab a seat by the fire, order a pub feed, and watch every game on the big screen. Whether you're up the mountain or just in for the night, this is the spot to catch the action.
Doors open 12 noon, Tuesday to Sunday. See you tonight.
After an incredibly busy weekend (thank you!), we’ve sold through more stock than expected, so tonight we’ll be running a reduced menu while we restock and get ready for the week ahead.
We really appreciate everyone’s patience and, most importantly, your support over the weekend. It’s been fantastic to see so many locals and visitors through the doors.
Our full menu will be back from Tuesday.
Thanks again for supporting the Dinner Plain Hotel – we can’t wait to see you tonight! 🍻❤️
* “It’s absolutely dumping.” (Probably the most common in Australian ski fields.)
* “It’s nuking!” (Borrowed from North American ski culture; means it’s snowing insanely hard.)
* “It’s coming down sideways.” (Especially when it’s windy.)
* “We’re getting hammered.”
* “It’s bucketing snow.” (A playful adaptation of “bucketing down.”)
* “It’s absolutely belting down with snow.”
* “It’s white-out conditions.” (When visibility is almost zero.)
People think being a publican is all pouring beers, serving hearty meals and sharing a few laughs…
Reality? ❄️ Grab the snow shovel before you grab the coffee.
Today’s first mission: clearing the deck so our delivery legends can actually reach the front door. Around here, snow removal is just another item on the morning checklist.
No complaints though—it’s all part of the charm of a Dinner Plain winter. Besides, you’ve got to earn that first hot coffee somehow! ☕️⛄️
Who’s ready for another beautiful snowy day?
