This is a true local pub in the tourist town of Hepburn Springs. It is also a pub struggling mightily to keep going. It hasn't been done up or changed to attract tourism; it's a big pub with lots of room but not a huge amount of business. It is spotlessly clean and serves good traditional pub food. On a recent Friday night the kitchen delivered a couple bowls of salt-and-pepper squid for bar snacks that was some of the best I've ever tasted. Beers on tap are Coopers pale, Guinness and, of course, Carlton Draught. It is also the local (drive-through) bottle shop so the selection of wine and packaged drinks is good. There are two pool tables - because space is not an issue here - and a massive open fireplace. This a friendly place where the locals are happy to welcome strangers into their pub.
