Mount Vic Flicks
With its isolated, unadulterated village vibe, National Trust–classified Mt Victoria was once more influential than Katoomba. At 1043m, it’s the highest town in the mountains. Crisp air, solitude, towering foliage and historic buildings are what bring you here, but if you’d rather watch a movie, try Mount Vic Flicks. This is cinema ‘the way it used to be’, with ushers, a piano player and door prizes.

Hotel Gearin
This art deco watering hole is one of the liveliest in town, with trivia nights, live music, pool comps and Sunday afternoon jazz. It’s owned by actor Jack Thompson – reason enough for a beer and a $5 steak.

Station Bar
This new bar next to the train station is Katoomba's most popular drinking hole, but our experience would indicate that the pizzas are best avoided. There's live music on Sunday nights from 7pm.

Run by the Carrington Hotel, this popular place has a pleasant bar on the ground floor and a dining room upstairs serving decent pub grub and pizzas (mains $14 to $24). There's live music most Friday and Saturday nights.
