This well-established pub offers a good happy hour (runs 4:30pm to 6:30pm) with two-for-one cocktails, plus excellent fresh seafood, sports on the screen and delicious (though pricey) burgers. Prompt bar staff too. Bring your catch after your fishing trip and they will prepare it, cook it, and serve it back to you with two sides for US$14.
