The Sheep Yard Inn

The Sheepyard Inn – The Opal Fields Best “Bahhh”

Known as the Opal Fields’ best “Bahhh” (bar), The Sheepyard Inn is a true outback icon. Located approximately 70km north-west of Walgett and 70km west of Lightning Ridge, right in the heart of the NSW Opal Fields, it’s the ultimate destination for an authentic country get-together.

Whether you’re chasing a hearty meal from our famous Outback Tucker Train, lining up a game of pool, or sharing stories with local miners and colourful characters of the fields, there’s always something happening at The Sheepyard. Grab a cold drink, relax with friends, and soak up the laid-back atmosphere that only the outback can offer.

Feeling lucky? Try your hand at fossicking for opal in our designated specking areas — you never know what treasure you might uncover.

Open seven days a week, we’ve got you covered. After a long day on the fields or the road, there’s no better place to unwind with a drink in hand and good company all around.

Come and experience it for yourself — you’ll only understand once you’ve been. See you at The Sheepyard!
