Voted Pub of the Year by 3AW in 2024, this beloved establishment has long been a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Family-owned and locally operated, it offers an inviting atmosphere where warm hospitality meets great food and drink in a setting rich with history.

Nestled in the Yarra Valley, Victoria's premier wine region, this heritage-listed pub dates back to the mid-1800s and effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern comforts.

The seasonal menu, featuring locally sourced ingredients, keeps patrons returning for more, with a brand-new menu just released in March. Pair your meal with a choice of local beer and wine, and you have a dining experience that truly celebrates the region's local produce. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the dog-friendly beer garden, where you can soak up the relaxed atmosphere under the open sky.

And for those who enjoy great entertainment, the pub comes alive with live music every weekend, ensuring there's always a good reason to stop by. A particular highlight is the famous Open Mic Night every Monday at 7 PM, a cherished local tradition where talented performers take the stage.
