Lord Gladstone Hotel Is Renaming Itself ‘Lord Jabstone Hotel’ & Giving Free Beers To Vaxxed Ppl

the Gladstone hotel

Sydney’s fave party pub Lord Gladstone Hotel is temporarily renaming itself ‘Lord Jabstone Hotel’ to encourage people to get the jab and honestly, this is extremely iconique behaviour. Very on brand.

The Gladdy will be called ‘Lord Jabstone Hotel’ for the month of September, not forever as their sneakily photoshopped image may imply.

True to its theme, The Jabstone Hotel (do we call it The Jabby now?) will be giving vaccinated punters a free Young Henrys beer for being amazing and getting the jab. We love to see it!!!

All you need to do to snag your free beer is to show staff your ‘post’ vaccination appointment, or prove you’ve already received your jab. And voila, a free beer. It’s honestly that chill.

For those of you who aren’t really sure how to ‘prove’ you’ve been vaxxed, don’t worry, we’ve got you. There is actually a way to access your vaccination certificate on MyGov, and you can read our easy guide on how to do that here.

Lord Gladstone/The Jabby/etc. isn’t just doing free beers for the heck of it though – the bar’s owner, Mitchell Crum, said that the best way for this mess to be over and for pubs to open is for everyone to get vaxxed. So really, the Young Henrys are a win-win.

“We know the quickest way back to a thriving pub again is through vaccination, we back our doctors and scientists and wanna show our support to all the legends doing their part for the greater community,” he said.

Of course, I’ll take this moment to remind all you Sydneysiders that we are under lockdown, so make sure you’re actually allowed to travel to The Jabby before you set out for those free beers.


All adult Aussies (yep, even if those of us under 40) are currently able to get the safe and effective AstraZeneca vaccine through a GP. Click here to see which clinics are offering it, and talk to a doctor to see if it’s right for you.

Alternatively, you can triple-check to see if you’re eligible for the Pfizer vaccine here.

The best vaccine is the first one you can get, and that’ll be our ticket out of this mess.
