In the state's morning update, NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said there had been 13 new cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in the hours to 8pm on Monday.
She said two were returned overseas travellers, and one was a known contact of an overseas traveller.
The remaining 10 cases were associated with the Crossroads Hotel and all live in South Western Sydney, Dr Chant said.
She said three of the new cases attended the venue on July 3. and seven were contacts of people who had been at the venue.
Dr Chant also confirmed that one of the new cases worked at Kmart in Casula, with people who attended that venue now on alert.
Anyone who attended the hotel on July 3, and in the days after to July 10 (particularly July 9), is asked to self-isolate and come forward for testing.
"This is a critical phase, and we do not want to see community transmission established in NSW," Dr Chant said.
With increasing concern about people attending pubs, Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed her government would be bringing in new restrictions for pubs and other licensed venues.
"NSW is on high alert and I want to deeply thank all those people who have come forward to get tested. It has helped us enormously in reaction to dealing with the outbreak in NSW," she said.
"It's been apparent to us... that we need to take some further action to curtail some of that activity."
She said the government wanted to reduce the risk that comes with people gathering in larger venues, and that indoor venues where people aren't seated were the areas of greatest risk.
The government will reduce group bookings from 20 to 10 people, which Ms Berejiklian said would "reduce the likelihood that people will mingle.
