They have all sorts of stuff hanging off the walls that just screams out American / blokes bar. There's a wall full of US number plates, lumberjack saws, guitars, and of course - the heads of a few dead animals. The owner / bartender Scott was really friendly and didn't care at all when I said that I prefer red wine over scotch. He has a bit of everything on the menu and aside from whiskey from all over the world they have a good cocktail menu as well. So I got a red wine and as people filtered into the bar I saw people ordering cider, beer, wine, and everything in between. So don't be put off if like me you don't drink whiskey - its a great small bar in the main street of Orange.

It feels a little like you're eating on a boat - with chrome railings and huge windows looking over the magnificent Blue Mountains. The Avalon is an institution and you'd be well-advised to book. The menu hasn't changed in years (who knew eggplant could taste so good), the vibe is eclectic, artsy. The furniture is a mixture of different antique styles, the staff are cool but friendly and the cost is tres reasonable.

My favourite - the Pasta Prima Vera. Lots of flavour, lots of veggies and well cooked pasta. Lots of standard pub fare, too. Their schnitzels are big, tasty and relatively cheap. I don't really have anything bad to say about the establishment. The staff are friendly and it's kept clean. The only cons: Some of the patrons are gross, aaaaaaand Penrith.

Only a group of 4 we were offered drinks as soon as we were seated. So that was nice too.. as there was only 1 wait staff they took both food and drinks orders and were also making drinks. So we had to be understanding it was a little slower than normal.. but it wasn't a bother as it was Sunday afternoon after all and we weren't in a rush. To start we had the antipasto board followed by garlic prawns, spiced chorizo, pork belly and soft shell crab tapas which was fantastic!! We absolutely recommend Anthony Bros & Co and will definitely be back.. !!

Very strange to find out that this establishment was not known to Yelp, when the basic chicken…read moretakeaway next door was highlighted. Don't discount its new mention from the fact that they've been operating in the Lithgow area for a couple years already (at time of writing), and quite successfully, if those who were enjoying Friday cocktails at lunchtime were any indication! Tried a variety of the small plates offerings at our lunchtime visit - salt & pepper squid, and 500g of moist BBQ chicken wings as dishes, with fries and onion rings as sides. Too much for 2 persons to handle, but more than tasty and beautifully fried. Really, to truely enjoy your time there, just DON'T miss out on ordering the chicken wings! Beers and ciders are by-bottle only, though varied and special enough. Cocktails focus primarily on the ladies, and prove popular, so there can't be much wrong with that. The service folk we met this day were lovely; casual yet attentive, and we would't want to ask for more given how relaxed our experience was.

I can see that it would get really busy and with a few different areas and buildings in which to eat I can see why other Yelpers have said to specify which part of the venue you want when making a booking. As it wasn't too busy I just hung out in the garden and only one part of the venue had been reserved on the night. I only tried the chorizo plate and a glass of wine as I'd already eaten down the road at Percy's. The chorizo was dressed in a mustard aioli with honey and coriander had just the right mix of sweet and spicy - definitely recommend it. The staff were happy and really helpful as well.

The venue has an array of seating areas including the cosy bar area with the open fire and magnificent bar; the outdoor garden and the extension garden that is quite open (see photo) and which has open fire pits surrounded by bench seating in the colder weather. We shared a variety of small plates and each of them was noteworthy. If it's on the menu, I find it hard to bypass a scallop, so the seared scallops on the cauliflower puree were music to my eyes and magic on my tongue! We also had the delightfully spicy buffalo wings, the sliders of the day (Cajun chook) and the prawns. They were all delicious. Sis and I had a lychee martini each, which was a perfect offset to the spice in the Cajun and the buffalo wings. B-I-L ordered a wine from the fairly extensive menu by the glass. Showcasing the local wines, naturally, this spot seems to tick a lot of boxes. I was quite surprised by the other reviews as I found the service quite sufficient on the night and the food was certainly value for $ and perfectly presented. Judging by the quantity of prestige 4WD's spinning around town, Orange is a spot for the posh weekend jaunts. Bookings are probably recommended. But please note my additional tip.
