I wouldn't necessarily call it a beach-side bar, though it is in the part of the city that is closer to the beach than the main town centre. Yeah, this place was pretty cool, and even had some nice beers on tap. Okay, it was a little dark, but it certainly had the feel of one of those inner-city bars that I tend to quite like. I have to say that yeah, this place was pretty cool.

If you want good food in Grafton, this hotel is for you. They have a large dining area and on nice…read moredays and evenings there is also an expansive area out the front where you can dine alfresco. The prices are good, and the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The only thing I wish they did was bring cutlery to the table when they bring your bread. Each time I have been there, I am often caught out when the meals arrive and go to grab the cutlery and it isn't there. My dining companion loves their Surf N Turf and it is richly made, and they aren't stingy with the seafood. I have the Schnitzel when I go there because I think it is a pub classic.

In fact, we ordered 2 more. They were that good! Charity was the friendly, wonderful server that made our experience even better. The 70 day aged Scotch Fillet was prepared to perfection. The Swordfish special was unbelievable. Fish was so flavorful, perfectly seasoned and prepared that I am now ruined for any other swordfish. Hats off to the chef. The accompaniment of pearl couscous risotto (minus the chorizo by request) with mussels was so very good that it could stand alone as its own dish. Seemingly pricey at first glance but not at all at first taste and the sight beautiful presentation. Worth every penny!!!! We were there on a very steamy day. We found respite at the high top tables at the bar where a fabulous cross breeze made us quite comfortable.

Two of us went for the light lunch with calamari.....very nice and a good size. Our other diners went for the blue eyed cod and fish & chips. They were suitably fed too.

Is there anything better than a pub sitting on a cliff overlooking the beach? Probably, but a lazy…read moreSunday afternoon sipping bubbles whilst you watch the waves crash against the shore is pretty darn good. The Pacific Hotel which sits just above Main Beach in Yamba is one of those country town gems that has the best local feel. There's a bar in the front and a bistro in the back with a main stage in the corner where bands from all around the Northern Rivers come on various days, check their website if coming to see some live music is your thing. Or if you're like me and just want to have a relaxing lunch overlooking the ocean grab a seat in the bistro. All the tables are by the giant glass windows which overlook the cliffs and beach. There's a great bistro menu with classic pub fare as well as fresh seafood from the area (oysters from Wooli and fish from Yamba). The food is great. I had the salt and pepper squid which was tender and fresh, Dad has a steak sandwich which was cooked perfectly on turkish bread (a nice light alternative if you want my opinion) and Mum had pork skewers (an entree but came out the size of a main). Topping off the food I had sticky date pudding for dessert which was the only thing that was a slightly let down. Great flavour but a little dry, thankfully there was plenty of butterscotch sauce and ice cream to remedy that. The fact that the food and service are great is just the tip of the iceberg with this pub. You really want to just come for the view. Any day it's going to be great, rain or sunshine.

The crumb coating was deliciously crispy but needed more Cajun. The mango aioli sounded nicely tropical and an interesting twist but it too was lacking that different flavour. The dining area is the nicest I've seen in a pub. The wall length seating, paintings and accessories give it a modern beach styling. I also love places where you can squeeze your BBQ or tomato sauce into a little cup just for you. I'm not one for sharing! The pub was dead though. My partner and I were the only ones eating at 1:30pm on a Saturday which I don't think is late and lunch didn't close until 2:30pm. On the plus side we got our meals 10 minutes tops after ordering.

It is located literally in the middle of nowhere! Our GPS told us the spot it would be but we had to drive for a further 3 mins before we came across it. You can definitely spot their handmade sign before you pull into the carpark. YES, they do still serve beer! We arrived at 11.45am, So we decided it was early enough to grab a beer and to order our food. They have Murray's beer on tap. For lunch we got the Pub with no beer burger with chips and sausage, peas, mash and gravy. Food was quick and good. The place was so quiet! We thought it would be busy because it was Sunday lunch but you had more tourists arriving then locals. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a lots of tables to choose from to sit, either indoor, outdoor and on the verandah/porch. The furniture on the verandah looks to be hand made with stools carved out of tree trunks! Very arty. Glad to say that we crossed this pub off our list! :)
