I had the rump steak and salad and chips 🍟 plus a beer 🍺 I waited for the lunch crowd to finish before taking photos 📸 the service was quick and the staff were were friendly 👌 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 😋 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.
