The manager is super friendly.The staff were lovely,even bringing Water bowls out for dogs! The music was lovely. The food very average. My prawn Thai salad was not at all nice.

Great venue! Cold old on tap on a hot day. Good food. And a great band playing out the in the gazebo under the shade of the trees! Thanks Trent

Hard one to rate! If you look at each individual component - the food, the decor, the location, the old-school signing in, the seating, the restricted opening times, .... , well, it does have an RSL club from the '70s vibe. Not all that surprising, as that's exactly what it was back then. BUT! When it's all put together, and you throw in the live music scene, the immensely proud and keen locals who run the place, the wonderfully romantic outdoor, tree-covered "chapel" sometimes used for weddings, ... , it has a retro magic that's hard to describe. You'll just have to take a risk and try it for yourself. If you are looking for something quirky, unusual, and a window into how Australia was 50+ years ago, here it is. If you like music made by real people playing real instruments (not computer generated backing tracks and AI generated lyrics), you can still find it here. Please, just leave your 21st century worries behind. They're not needed here. Oh, and there's no phone signal, either. Another bonus....

Saw The TOFs and Friends playing at this venue last night. Great to see live entertainment in a really comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Good pub food and plenty of room inside and out.

What a fantastic club, I can't believe it has taken us so long to get here. Well worth the wait, fantastic place to spend an afternoon catching up with friends. There was live music and the food was fantastic. However, what made it was the staff who were lovely and welcoming. Sunday afternoon raffle, no pokies and a fantastic vibe. The outside area is amazing and space for kids to play, I took the pictures late afternoon when everyone had moved inside as it was getting chilly. We will be back again for sure. Perfect place for an event, lots of different spaces, there was karaoke on the night before and a Winter Wine Dinner event being advertised. Calling all locals, and further a field, well worth a visit or two😊
