Momento Hospitality breaks ground on their second Oran Park venue – a true local pub for Oran Park

A beer-first, character-driven pub is coming to Oran Park, offering a warm, intimate alternative to the scale and buzz of the Oran Park Hotel. Momento Hospitality, together with Archebiosis Architects and Kela Building, today broke ground on their second Oran Park venue (name to be announced) – a new local pub designed for the Oran Park community. Having recently opened the Oran Park Hotel, Momento Hospitality is now creating a second venue that offers something distinctly different – a smaller-scale, more intimate and character-driven pub experience that encourages easy, spontaneous catchups and casual encounters.

“With this venue, we’re deliberately building something that feels like a true local, the kind of place where you can stop in for a beer, naturally run into neighbours, and settle in without any fuss,” said Marcello Colosimo, Executive Chair, Momento Hospitality. “It’ll be warm, familiar, reliably good – and it’s made for Oran Park.”

Designed by award winning Archebiosis Architects, the venue draws inspiration from the timeless appeal of old corner pubs reminiscent of the English and Irish pubs, and closer to home, the kind of neighbourhood venue locals love. At the same time, the venue is designed to feel authentically Australian and connected to Oran Park, blending the intimacy of a traditional pub with architectural cues from rural and agricultural structures – open barn forms, robust materials, and simple, honest detailing as a nod to the area’s farming history.

The result will be a contemporary Australian pub that feels grounded, familiar and genuinely local: easy to drop into, always lively, and reliably great.

Organised into distinct areas, each with its own character and purpose:

· Sports Bar – A modern take on a traditional corner pub: cosy, character-filled, warm lighting, rich details and joinery, varied seating, and a lively mix of sport and music with classic pub charm with TAB facilities.

· Locals Bar – An extension of the main pub experience: intimate nooks, stools and standing room, curated details and artworks, with a visual connection to the Sports Bar while still feeling cosy on a quiet night.

· Bistro Dining – Open-plan with high barn ceilings, exposed structure and services, concrete floors, and flexible furniture layout; light-filled with operable doors and windows connecting to the rear garden.

· Beer Garden – Simple, open-plan outdoor space designed for all-weather use, with garden lighting, colourful umbrellas, an outdoor bar, flexible large-format furniture, and plenty of greenery.

· Street Terraces (Dick Johnson Drive) – A street-facing activation zone with an open fireplace, umbrellas and awning – a place to settle in for an relaxed afternoon.

Kela Building have commenced early works on site, located on the corner of Porter Street and Dick Johnson Drive, Oran Park. With construction scheduled over approximately 18 months, with the venue anticipated to open in mid-2027 (subject to construction timelines and approvals).
