Church Bar Wood-Fired Pizza
Church Bar
A pizza bar in a converted old church school in Bathurst. Its arched ceilings, fireplaces and shaded courtyard are the biggest highlights.
Located in the old church school building on Ribbon Gang Lane, its arched ceilings, multiple fireplaces and shaded courtyard make it a landmark meeting place in Bathurst, with live music often playing. It specialises in wood-fired pizzas with traditional bases and simple toppings, and also serves focaccia and sharing plates. Its best-known cocktail is the espresso martini, and it also offers wine and craft beer. Since 2025, some regulars have had mixed reviews of the refurbished menu and service, but the atmosphere receives the most consistently positive reviews. Expect to spend about AUD 35–60 per person. Booking is recommended on weekends.
