Although not my local anymore - still manage to sink a fair bit of booze at the Crafers Inn. Apparently built in 1839, one of the first stops in the Adelaide Hills.

Nothing special... just know all the local drunks, (sing it now: "where everybody knows your name....").... its all very laid back. Food is top notch. Beer even more so.

What a great Idea for a thread! Ill get some pics of the Ol Warrandyte Hotel (Which is also where I work) and post em up ASAP.

Greengate hotel

On the pacific highway at Killara.

Built 1833 as a coach stop - I think it was about a horses ride from Sydney town back then. Rebuilt in the 1920s/30s.

There are no good watering holes in my area. I usually drink at a mates place, but when we feel like going out for a rugby match it's the World's End Sports Cafe just down from my house.

I wish this was my local, its on the Crown Range Road between Queenstown & Wanaka.

Sourbastard · 23-08-2005, 11:46 AM

Behold The Gov. One of the last live music venues in SA. Great people, great music, Guinness, Cider & Newcastle Brown Ale on tap, and the craic is great. Food is ok too!

Shooters ?

Slainte Irish Pub is good too, makes a nice change to go into an Irish pub and be served by people that are actually Irish.

Aslong as they have a decent Irish band im up for that. I am king of the singalong.

I'm not much for pubs but on a similar important drinking matter, the Bar across the road from work( Priviledge aka Mink Bar, Sydney CBD) has $3 drinks ALL NIGHT on Fridays. Thats unbeatable value.

If I had to nominate some pubs I'd prob say :

The Mean Fiddler at Rouse Hill, NSW.

The Albion and The Collector Tavern in Parramatta are ok too. The Albion has bands and a metal night on Thursdays(?). The Collector has bands but it's prob aimed more at dance events.

The Kandanga Hotel, one of my favourites for a cold one and a game of pool after a hard drive through the hills.

I think it's been painted since that photo was taken...

What happend to the Breakfast Creek Hotel (tm)?

**Polyal** · 24-08-2005, 07:09 PM

hmm dont really have a local...but I cant let Newcastle Brown Ale go mentioned without bagging it.

How do you drink that sh!t!

I drink Giuness, stouts and just about any other beer but I had that stuff last week for the first time and boy did I regret getting a pint instead of a pot. Its like someone dropped vegemite in the barrell...absolutely shocking.

Sorry guys.......

A vegemite character means the keg is old mate. You drank from an old dud batch of beer. Happens all the time when the beer isnt a big seller and gets left in place for extended periods. Turns to crap. Try one from a bottle from a BWS.

Or if im at home it's the 'ranga, but only to catch up with some of my old mates

bprint xr8 · 30-08-2005, 12:04 AM

Tilpa Hotel, 180 km south west of Bourke NSW on the Darling River. Unfortunately only my local for 1 week of the year.

Danny · 30-08-2005, 12:05 AM

Ohh man that Tilpa hotel is awwsome. I love hotels like that!

Mack 6 · 30-08-2005, 02:13 PM
