This was certainly an interesting pub, though I'm not sure how long it is going to be here for…read more Basically, it is the only remaining building from the original gold mining settlement at Avoca. It isn't located in the town, but along the main highway leading it, and it is walking distance as well. Don't expect much in the way of beers here, but like a lot of country pubs, the bartender is very friendly, and quite chatty. Yeah, this pub turned out to be pretty cool, but it is a shame that it may not be around for much longer.

This was quite a surprise, namely a pub in St Arnaud that has craft beer available. Honestly, this…read morewas definitely something that I wasn't expecting. In fact, unlike a lot of pubs that I have been to out in the country, this one certainly didn't feel anything like those old mans pubs that you tend to find. In fact it had quite a nice vibe about it. In fact, it even had a pretty awesome beer garden out the back, one that had definitely been made to feel like a decent beer garden as opposed to a lot of the pubs where it is basically just a few tables tossed out in the back yard. Oh, and the service was pretty awesome as well. Yeah, I really liked this pub.

I'd probably consider this place to be one of those old school country pubs. It certainly does have…read moresome charm about it, and there was a pretty decent sized beer garden, though of course I do wander at times whether anybody actually uses it (I have never seen a beer garden being used in a country pub). The service wasn't the best, and the tap beer selection was also rather limited, but that did have a friendly dog, so I'll give it credit for that.

Anyway, other than that I should commend the staff for letting me check in early, due to the buses sort of, well, arriving early. The rooms were of a decent size as well, though annoyingly, it is a bit of a hike from the main town centre, but I feel that this is actually more a St Arnaud thing than anything else.

One of the reasons that will you returning again and again is the owner. She is absolutely delightful. Makes you feel welcome. Follows up with you. Keeps the room fresh and clean. I'll be back again.
