    The history practically seeps out of the walls and up through the floors of this maze-like guest…read morehouse and cosy drinking den. And it should - rumour has it it's the oldest tourist hotel in Australia, continuously operating since 1878. Playing host to royalty and the wealthiest of wealthy in its former life, it's now a perfect place along your roadtrip to stop for a pint, snuggle up to an open fire and thank your lucky stars that you don't have to hop in your horse-drawn carriage to enjoy the Blue Mountains. And hey, if things at the beer garden get a bit out of hand, they still offer accommodation. Word to the wise: portions are *massive* so what you intend to be a "small nibble" of soup and salad will actually be enough to bathe in and subsequently string together Adam and Eve style.

I got lost in history and curiosity as I ventured round trying to find any sort of bistro area. I eventually did ...... it looked like an old 70's type bowling club eatery. It was good enough, just didn't fit the period of the building .... must have been the last renovation .... in the 70's. It had lots of rooms and doors leading to all sorts of nooks. There were a few people around but spread out leaving it without any real atmosphere. I would like to come back one day ..... but may leave it alittle while. Ps. the food was ok ..... a meat pie & midi !

    The bar service and drinks are absolutely wonderful…read more As someone more accustomed to drinking spirits at home than in bars, I was a bit nervous on what I could order. I did as much research online as I could about the cocktails that were made here and whether or not I'd be able to have them (allergies and dietary restrictions). Initially I went in thinking that I'd only be able to order 2 types of drinks (a margarita and a mojito) since they were both rum-based, which at the moment is the only type of spirit I can consume without having to deal with angry red splotches on my face and arms (vodka and whiskey just don't agree with my skin I suppose). But the bartender asked me what types of alcohols I preferred, so that he could make me something that I could have without worrying about substituting ingredients from certain menu items. He was able to make me 2 Sailor Jerry rums over ice and I can't quite remember what the other ingredients were, but I'm pretty sure there was cinnamon, lemon/lime juice, and something else which tasted amazing!!! I then proceeded to try the mojito, which was SO beautifully prepared, and tasted just as great as it looked. Something about lime (and mint) in drinks makes my tastebuds extra happy. And I'm not one to usually like drinks with any sort of fizz in them, but this mojito was just, I've found myself saying it a lot in this review, beautiful. And lastly the margarita. I almost felt sad drinking out of the glass because the presentation seemed so intricate and aesthetically pleasing! Again, outstanding craftmanship by the bartender. The sips I took of the drink coupled with the salted rim of the glass were an adventure. I finished the entire drink in 15 minutes (while saving a sip for my partner to try) but at no point in that time was I able to figure out what that intriguing and delicious taste combination reminded me of. It tasted so familiar yet so new to me. Fantastic. Out of all four drinks I had, I can't say that any one of them is better than the other, but the Sailor Jerry mix definitely made it's way into one of my favorite drinks I've ever had in my life, no joke. I was a bit too tipsy to properly look for the bartender who made these drinks for me, but if I could've found him I'd like to thank and compliment him on his craftmanship!

    We usually come here quite often and enjoy a cheap,tasty feed but not tonight. My dad was FURIOUS…read morewhen they removed the king avocado schnitzel off the menu. We ordered Steak,Pizza and Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken had a side of hollandaise and it was disgusting. Steak came out cold and slightly over cooked,can you blame them tho? we did wait an extra 40 minutes after the pizza and chicken had came out,we had to ask someone to retrieve the steak,who knows how long it would of taken if we didn't ask. Plus the service was horrible. Meals came out 25 minutes apart minimum even tho we ordered at the same time. Staff is lovely though,We cannot remember the name of the red haired bloke who said goodbye on the way out but he is by far the nicest member of the ob. Hoping this review can help them benefit for the better. #bringbackthekingavoschnitzel

You order at one bar and then pick up your food at another. It's very DIY here, no servers. The atmosphere is very much child-friendly-pub style, with a playground and even a jump house for kids (not sure if that's always there or if we came on a good day). Lots of families were around, parents having drinks while their kids chased each other outside. The wedges we got came in a huge bowl. We got a much bigger serving than I expected, which was nice since it ended up being dinner. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't super friendly. There isn't anything terrible about this place, but there isn't anything really great about it either.

The…read moreSurveyor General is the oldest continuously licensed inn in Australia, built in 1834 using convict labor and remained in the Harper family for almost one hundred years after being built. In the early days, prisoners were detained in the cellar of the sandstone inn! Place was hopping on a Sunday afternoon but we were able to order food at the counter and grab a seat in the taproom. Very cozy, with the fireplace going on a chilly winter day. Ordered a burger and the fish and chips at the counter and it was brought to us in the taproom. along with a glass of wine and a ginger beer. Everything was tasty, ambiance was nice and staff very professional and friendly! Overall a lovely stop in Berrima, a cute town.

I had the beef burger, which was well cooked with scrumptious house made pickles. The chips here were fresh and crispy and tasted amazing. I'll never care about American "French fries" ever again. My husband had the fish and chips and his fish was battered perfectly and he loved it. Other members of our group had steak or duck and all were very pleased. They had chicken dishes on the menu as well as pasta. The menu was small, yet diverse, and impressive. The staff was all friendly and helpful. The best thing about this place was the feeling of stepping into another world. So much of the original feel is intact, including original stone work and woodwork. You feel like you're in an 18th or 19th century pub. I could have sat here and chatted with people and sipped a drink next to a fireplace all night.
