All-time classic pub up in Coburg with a superb kitchen. There's a big dining hall next door if you want to eat but don't dig the pub vibe, but if you prefer to catch a band while eating squeeze into the front room. It's part-owned by Tex Perkins so its rock roots are bonafide and the music is always top notch.
