Description

Nestled in LIGHTNING RIDGE, this restaurant offers a mixed dining experience. While some patrons rave about the friendly locals, affordable drinks, and delicious pub fare—especially the noteworthy parmie—others have felt unwelcome, especially families with children and dogs. Reviews highlight a need for better customer service, particularly from staff. Despite its casual atmosphere and helpful recommendations for local attractions, tourists may find it lacking in warmth. Overall, with tasty meals and a lively beer garden, this spot might delight some, but could disappoint those seeking a more inclusive and welcoming experience.

Friendly staff, cheap beer and a parmie that would bring many a higher establishment to shame. everything you could hope for. if I had really split the haare, I would say that the salate lacks a bit of salate and tomato, but who judges a parmie by the salate?!

We have made a drink in the beer garden today. when we finished our drinks, we said that, as we have our dog with us, we had to go because the beer garden was not pet-friendly. will not be back. I wanted to eat there. spend our money differently!

It is a beautiful large open pub, only evening meal, which is a scandal. it is still worth going for a drink
