Okay, it did seem to be popular, at least where a small town is concerned, but it didn't really stand out in the way that other pubs have. I guess it may had something to do with the service, which wasn't particularly bad mind you. However, in a way I guess compared to other pubs that I had visited, this one really didn't shine in the way that the other ones did. Look, it was okay, but not particularly great.

This is not all that surprising since the town that it used to support has pretty much disappeared. Look, don't expect all that much from this place, and they don't have beers on tap, however the service is pretty good, namely because like a lot of these country pubs the bartender will simply sit there merrily chatting away with you. Yeah, it was nice, and apparently it does go off on a Friday night.

It sounds like suggesting that a pub being a typical country pub is a bad thing, but I wouldn't…read morereally put it that way. With a lot of country pubs you know what you get, and this one is no different. They tend to be jovial and sometimes rather welcoming, though their beer selection isn't always that great. Yeah, this place wasn't too bad to be honest, and the bar tender was friendly and helpful. It also had a beer garden, but it is typical of what you would find in the country.

However, it is also one of those country pubs that just happens to be located out in one of the small towns on the approach to Clare. In a way this place probably shouldn't have had a bit more charm than it did, but it really was the service that put me off. Yeah, I wasn't all that thrilled with it.

Well, if you want a pub that has it's own pet cockatoo that says 'Hello Cocky' whenever you attempt…read moreto strike up a conversation with it, then this is certainly a pub that you are going to like. Okay, it is a bit of a trek to reach, and it is also effectively in the middle of nowhere (though I am sure if you are determined enough you could walk, or at least ride a bike), but for me at least, it was certainly worth it. Okay, the pub itself is your typical country pub, and you can be assured that the publican knows everybody who walks in through the door on a first name basis (except for people like me who trek up from the city just to have a beer). They have a pretty nice beer garden, however it is one of those beer gardens that it basically a converted backyard, complete with two yappy dogs that want to play with you while you are having a beer. This pub certainly has a character of its own, and I know I would be very tempted to stop by here again if I am ever in the area.

Well, when I saw the large no pokies symbol on the outside of the pub I knew that I was going to…read morelike this place. Any pub that doesn't succumb to the lure of the pokie machine is going to be a good pub in my books, and it certainly was a good pub. In part it felt like an inner-city pub, yet it still retained that rural feeling about it, probably because there was a building out the back called 'The Barn' that happened to be a function room (and there was also a barbecue under the shelter). Okay, it still seemed to be a place where the locals would sit at the bar chatting with the bartender, but I didn't let that get to me, especially with the lounge area sporting some rather interesting artwork.

With friendly staff greetings and quick courteous service, it immediately meets great expectations. The restaurant has a rustic look and feel. I especially like that with a full restaurant, the noise level is very low. Good choice in back ground music. The meals are amazing and delicious. I had the American Pork Ribs but next time we will have the Murray's Feast. A great selection of local Barossa wines which does real justice to the local area. I gave the the Tasting Paddle a go with a choice of sixteen beers.

However, while I generally let a grumpy bartender have his bad day (we all have one), I generally do get a little put off people who get defensive after the get your order mixed up (as well as spending time doing other things on a quiet day despite standing at the bar for five minutes waiting to be served). This was a shame because I quite liked the pub it self. There were two nice beer gardens, a Fat Yak craft beer bar, and some cool street art on the outside toilet block. The pub itself is also in one of Gawler's historic buildings, however, despite all of that, I don't see myself coming back here again.

The prices were that of a typical pub ($18.50 for a chicken schnitzel, et cetera) and the food was absolutely fantastic. My partner and I both had chicken parmigianas with chips and well, I got vegetables instead of salad and he got salad. My only thing is that it is kinda short-staffed, but honestly, the food was that good, I didn't even really care. I'd go here again, and I'd bring my family too. Thanks for making my 6 month anniversary dinner with my partner a great experience.
