The hotel was the districts second brewery after Sheppard's Brewery at Buninyong, and the first in Ballarat.[1]


History[edit | edit source]

Wither wrote about the brewery in 1889:

The next was the All Nations Brewery, founded in 1854-5, in Doveton street, at the back of the present Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, on section 10 of the Ballarat survey. It was a long, low, narrow building of slabs, with a bark roof. John Magor, or Meagher, a “Cousin Jack," was the adventurer, and he held the whole lot with both the Doveton and Armstrong street frontage. By his consent, in 1858-9, a Mrs Wilkinson built the All Nations hotel on the Armstrong street frontage, opposite to the present Emu hotel site and on the site of a portion of the present Ebenezer Church property. The hotel was of iron, largely tempered with deal panel doors, of which the owner had received a consignment, and which he used for all sorts of inside fittings. The building had to be removed back when the alignment of Skipton street was completed. The hotel was burnt down towards the end of the seventies, and the brewery had also vanished by that time.[1]
