I had the rump steak and salad and chips 🍟 plus a beer 🍺 I waited for the lunch crowd to finish before taking photos πŸ“Έ the service was quick and the staff were were friendly πŸ‘Œ even the resident Cockatoo was friendly. This pub is a Colourful old-school pub with a bistro menu, plus vintage signs, hanging kayaks and a live cockatoo. They have arcade games. There are no poker machines. The atmosphere is great . I enjoyed the food πŸ˜‹ Has rooftop seating Has outdoor seating Has live music. I highly recommend this pub. It's temporary closed for renovations

Great pub with a solid atmosphere and friendly staff. Drinks are well priced, the food is consistently good, and there’s a relaxed vibe whether you’re popping in for a quick beer or settling in for the night. Always a good crowd without feeling too hectic. Definitely a local you’d happily come back to.

Well I stopped in for lunch and found the newly renovated pub in good shape but could do with some more art. But very tasteful in the way they renovated it. I had the veal schnitzel with cheese and Neapolitan sauce. Fantastic. The veal was amazing and the crumb was great. Not heavy just good. I think the cheese was provolone and the sauce was house made and had good flavour to it. ( all gone). The chips were great I just put a little bit more salt on them. Gold. The salad great. So much of it and the dressing was wonderful with plenty of it all over. ( this is in my top 3 schnitzels ). 5 out of 5 plates cleaned.
