This is a classic country pub with a stunning beer garden overlooking the river. Locals and tourists alike love the relaxed vibe, live music, and cold beer. While the food is generally well-regarded, there are some complaints about consistency and wait times. It's a perfect stop for a scenic break on the way to the Tablelands.
