Years ago this used to be a miners' pub. Well, that isn't the case anymore, and it definitely shows…read moreit. Like, the interior is just so gorgeous, and in a way one wouldn't expect to find miners in their dirty clothes gracing the halls of this pub anymore. These days it is a pretty fancy place, and a pretty good one at this. For instance, they have a great range of beers, and the beer garden is not only huge, but it is also gorgeous as well. In fact, it looks like they are still working on it. Oh, and it is also across the road from one of the old mining sites, which is why it used to be a miners pub. However, yeah, it's pretty cool.

The staff were super friendly, and quite chatty, and the beer selection was absolutely amazing. In a way I'm glad that I decided to go and revisit all of the pubs that I have visited the last time I was up in Bendigo because honestly, they have changed heaps - especially this one.

It is quite a nice hotel though, with a small beer garden out the back, seating out the front, and a number of other areas which look quite comfortable. There was also an area that is underground, and sticking my nose down there I noticed that there were tables and seats there as well.

The Wine Bank is exactly that - a wine bar set in an old bank (on view street). The building is…read moreimpressive both inside and out, with high ceilings and loads of wines. It appears that Wine Bank is targeted to two crowds - those who want to buy a bottle and go through the full list, and a very casual crowd who want to stop in for a cheap drink. Perhaps price sensitivity is an issue for the area, but the wines on pour were nothing special at all. The tacky paper menu and unimpressive by the glass list stop this from being a classy affair or place worth seeking out if you're a wine buff. I'm all for individual expression, but I think the place could really benefit from a work uniform or even just a dress code - another notch that really works against this being some place special. A good spot for a casual drink of sauvignon blanc or cheap champagne, but definitely not somewhere I would recommend to visitors unless you were settling in for a full bottle.

I wasn't going to mention the girl chewing gum while taking my order but it is what it is. I asked for Scotch fillet with mash and veg I made it clear no chips.... What arrived was Steak and chips I was a little bemused and returned it . Steak was good medium but the mash was clearly nuked but expected. . Now it seemed to me with a full house 1 waitress stood out as the only person doing the whole pub while 2 other girls just stood behind the bar chatting. The atmosphere is good maybe a little music would be good. Oh don't ask for coffee unless you don't mind waiting to pick it up .( HOT) Overall food 3/5 Service 2/5 Ambiance 4/5 .

Actually, it is more than the beer garden because there is also a pretty nice range of beers on tap as well, which surprised me somewhat since this pub does happen to be located a bit further out from the city centre than I sort of expected it to be. Okay, the service was a little slow, but then again it was a slow day when I paid it a visit. Still, as a pub it is pretty good, the staff are really friendly, and I really do like the laid back atmosphere.

Actually, the fact that this place also happens to also be located down a side allyway is pretty awesome as well. I guess, in a lot of cases it is that inner-city bar atmosphere of this place that I absolutely love, though of course the beer selection is pretty amazing as well. This is definitely a place that I would recommend checking out.

This is an awesome pub located in the bushland surrounding Bendigo. Mind you, if you are reliant on…read morepublic transport, as I happen to be, then it really isn't the easiest of pubs to get to, but it still certainly does have a lot of charm. It fact it ws really worth the hike that I made to get here, namely because when I arrived I was literally blown away as to how awesome the pub was. It really does have a true bush feel about it, and in fact it has a real historical charm to it as well, namely because it is one of those old style wooden pubs. Oh, and the beer selection is amazing, though unfortunately they really don't have anything on tap. Still, it is definitely a pub worth checking out.

It had been ages since I went to GPO but last night I stumbled across this amazing little gem in…read morethe heart of Bendigo. A trendy restaurant with amazing ambiance, waiters clearly took amazing pride in their work and were very professional, well groomed and polite. The food was amazing and great value, the stone cooked pizzas were well balanced and delicious. My recommendation is the indulgence package - amazing value with a stunning 3 course meal with sides. You should also try the chocolate garden, highlight of the meal. If you're looking for a good night out I highly recommend GPO

This is a place you should come in a group - there is so much interesting dishes to try out. Our…read moregroup of 3 started off with a jug of a generously fruit-filled sangria. Carrying through the Spanish / Mediterranean theme, we proceeded with tapas. The ham & cheese croquettes were superb. Great tasting with hints of exotic spices. The crispy pork belly bites were however a little too lardy for my liking (sticking to the teeth!!!) although the chilli/tomato/pear jam was a great accompaniment to the pork. The pear and nuts salad complemented our tapas dishes nicely. Liked the cider dressing that was used. The calamari was fresh and juicy. A little more salt and pepper would have provided a better kick to it tho'. The chicken breast was really really tasty (with hints of fresh rosemary), juicy and tender. The paella was interesting - great strong taste that befits the cuisine type, with the prawn and chicken displaying great taste and texture. I however couldnt put my finger on the saffron rice .... hmmm but overall a great dish nonetheless. If you happen to be in Bendigo and like a change, do come by. Great place in this beautiful town

I sort of find it rather odd that this pub is labelled as being the oldest pub in Bendigo, but I…read moresuspect that this might have been because it was built before the goldrush, back when the place was really just surviving on local sheep farms. In way case, this pub wasn't bad, and it certainly did have some charm. I guess the old world nature of the place does it, but then again it is apparently a pretty old pub, The service actually wasn't too bad, and it also had a rather nice beer garden as well. In a way there is certainly something quite charming about this place, and it certainly is one of those places where I would definitely like to spend some more time. Oh, and the beer garden wasn't bad either. Yeah, I liked this place.
