Then again, a pub where the regulars are more than willing to include you in their conversations is one of those pubs that I do tend to like, not that there are all that many of them around. Sure, this is a country pub, which means that their beer selection really isn't all that great, however they do have a pretty awesome games room, and the beer garden out the bar, while particularly spectacular, was quite large, which I also really liked.

A relatively new addition to the Ipswich dining scene, Pumpyard Bar & Brewery (or Four Hearts…read moreBrewing Company - the name appears to be used interchangeably) has become one of our regular eats - I'd even go as far as calling it our go-to restaurant. And judging by how busy the place is every time we go - I'm guessing we aren't alone. They serve bar-style food like burgers, wraps, chips etc, but with a fancy twist such as Chili Cheese Fries and Beer ice cream. The portions are not huge, but the prices are also quite reasonable. Their Wednesday night special $12 ribs are absolutely delicious. Pumpyard Bar & Brewery is the first and only brewery in Ipswich since 1903, and being a brewery, there is always a good variety of beer to be had - both in-house brewed as well as more common bottled beer. Some of their brewed beer is really interesting, like their Wabbit Saison which is a carrot beer, and my personal favorite - the Coffee Cream Ale which is a beer brewed with coffee - awesome! Some of the beers like the Coffee Cream Ale are seasonal, so unfortunately are not available all of the time. They also sell take-home growlers so you can take your favorite beer home too :) With a great atmosphere complete with beer vats right in the dining area, live music on Sunday's and friendly staff, it's easy to see why this place is very quickly becoming a favorite :)

My chicken parma wasn't dry or burnt and was served with delicious chips and salad. A little more salad dressing would have been good. The menu also includes other items but limited in selection. I must admit the ribs that used to be in the old menu are sadly missed. With full bar to select from, drinks are reasonably priced.

It wasn't too busy and the menus were situated at the order counter. The menu had various options including chicken parmigiana, seafood and steaks which I chose from. I ordered the 200g rump which came with salad and chips. We were given a buzzer and had to collect our meals and drinks from the counter which was a bit odd. The portion sizes were big and my meat came with a delicious gravy. Overall, my food was hot, tasty and cooked well. Loved the ambience and look of the place and would come here again.

A good place to meet up with fellow beer lovers for an evening of intelligent drinking. Less good for a romantic date or a quiet tete-a-tete. Ten rotating taps, a little too heavily waited toward the IPAs, but focusing small local brewers. I've only eaten starters here, but they were excellent and adventuresome: scallop ceviche mini-tacos, broccolini with lemon butter, and best of all, a beer-complementing platter of liverwurst and pickles with fresh crusty bread. I'll be back.

Pros The staff are…read morequite friendly and approachable. The location is conveniently accessible with ample parking spaces available to the customers. The food, bar and gambling areas are well maintained and of an acceptable quality. The food is rather nice, with great prices and good flavour to go along with it. Cons The quality of the rest rooms is quite disappointing with minimal maintenance and funding provided. The tables, while wiped over by the staff, remain sticky and not pleasant to touch. There is an incredibly long wait to get food, with an approximate hour wait for this meal in question. Despite the good tasting food, when ordering a medium steak (as recommended on the menu), upon receiving the steak it was beyond well done which was disappointing.
