- Kelvin WongFebruary 20, 2015Great beer selection! Food is also good, not your usual run of the mill pub food. Thurs night main comes with a complimentary matching beer/wine.
I am obsessed with this pub. Great food, friendly staff and an amazing beer garden. Approve.
Amos RojterDecember 6, 2015Outstanding pub, great food, the beer garden is amazing, and it feels local and community focused. Beer range is second to none.

Jo JungleJune 23, 2011Great reno so much more space. Good to hear the Blues are still playing love hearing Chris Wilson from my balcony at The Max Apartments.
The Sunday Roast is always magnificent. Best around by a long shot.
