Detectives are investigating, after a man was held-up outside the Blackbutt Hotel in New Lambton around 4am on Tuesday morning.
The 42-year-old was approached by three men, one armed with a knife, who demanded his wallet and mobile phone.
They then went into the venue and attempted unsuccessfully to steal items, before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.
Police are appealing to the community for any information, including dashcam footage from the area between 3.30am and 4.30am that morning.
