This amiable boozer gets packed to the gills with tourists and locals most nights, elbowing around the pool table and downing a few cold ales. The pub nosh is top shelf: in between the reef ‘n’ beef and the chicken parmigiana you’ll find dishes such as pork loin with mustard sauce and prawn pasta with brandy and chilli (mains $18 to $32).
