Yep, this is one of those basic Woolworths pubs that you tend to find pretty much everywhere (well,…read moresort of). Yeah, as a pub, it really wasn't all that flash, and like a lot of these pubs, they pretty much have the same, limited, selection of beers on tap. Honestly, it really isn't a place that I'd make much of an effort to visit a second time, particularly since there does happen to be better pubs near by.

I once ate the majority of a steak that was bigger than my head here (nb - I have quite a large…read morehead, not one of those disproportionately small freaky pin heads). It was great! I get the feeling that the Bushmans is a real family joint, their restaurant caters for kids and they finish up dining relatively early, in true country style. Everything seems to come with a jacket potato wrapped in alfoil (or is that just me?), not that I mind! It totally reminds me of my mums cooking, and what cold hearted person wouldn't love their own mum's cooking. They seem to do a lot of functions, birthday parties and the like. One thing I would say about eating out in Naracoorte on the weekend is that Everyone in town does, so make sure you book, or you may be going hungry!

Actually, this was a pretty good pub, though I sort of got the impression that this was basically…read morewhere everything was happening around town, if the quite nature of the other pubs was anything to go by. Well, since I was now back over the border in South Australia I knew that there was certainly going to be a beef schnitzel on the menu, and that certainly turned out to be the case. I found the staff to be really pleasant and helpful, and also there was quite a decent selection of beer on tap as well. Quite a cool pub.

Billy Macs! Although…read moreI like all the hotels in Naracoorte for different reasons, this one has to be my favourite for its sheer versatility. Although it's never easy to blend in as a tourist in a small town, this place may afford you the least attention, which is good if you're concious of stranger danger and all that... The restaurant, on the right hand side when you're facing the building is called Billy Macs and the decor can be described as pure country steak house. There's a salad bar, of course! Featuring 50s orange segment and sultana delights, as well as a couple of hot dishes like cauliflower cheese and a pea and carrot mix. AMAZING! The meals are moderately priced and serve sizes are turbo charged. You go up to the counter to place your order and I can't recommend enough that you order steak at these places... when in cattle country, you can be sure it's what they do best. I've even had a wagyu number here, which was close to one of the best steaks I've ever eaten... 5 star included! To the left of the restaurant and across the bottle shop driveway is a bar which features a couple of pool tables, a video jukebox and RRREEEEaaaaallllyyy cheap beer. I think I was paying $4 a pint last time. Just be warned. If you're with attractive ladies, the locals will get on the tom toms and local lads will appear from nowhere in the once desserted bar!

This pub was rather nice, and the staff were pretty friendly as well. Mind you, it isn't anywhere…read morenear as crowded as the pub that happens to be on the other side of the town square, and there really isn't a huge range of beers as well. However, as a pub it is reasonably quiet, which is something that I do like, and it certainly does carry some charm about it as well. Sure, it may not be a favourite, but it is still rather nice.

I actually love this place, despite the fact that there is no way I can give it anymore than 2…read morestars. If you're in Naracoorte town centre after 10pm at night you simply can't avoid seeing and hearing the Kincraig... well, at least the attachment which is ambitiously labelled 'cocktail bar'. Please note - THIS IS NOT A COCKTAIL BAR!! For Adelaide folk - maybe think Shotz crossed with Swish. This is where you come to get really, really maggot on bacardi breezers and pick up. I think they run a video jukebox here too - or maybe it's pre selected? There's quite a big, sticky, grimey dancefloor and you'll have to smoosh yourself against a wall of people to get to the bar. My favourite part about this place when I was in my early twenties (you know - last year, ha) was the voyueristic people watching potential. It was great to see the locals in action and I quite fancied I might one day catch a country lad and don and akubra myself.
