This pub was one of many highlights to my recent trip to Tasmania! Its got a great atmosphere and is very friendly - so much so, that everyone in there seems to know each other and everyone seems to give everyone else a hug as soon as they come into the building.
Its like a lot of Melbourne's pub were about 15 years ago - and I say that in a good way - its just very friendly and unpretentious.
The food is good without being excellent, and the drinks are quite cheap - but the atmosphere is the big drawcard. There doesnt seem to be any dress code or any security guards or anything else like that which can cause conflict and the barstaff are really friendly.
Looking forward to my next trip to Launceston and the Royal Oak Hotel! read more
