Turn left or right – the choice is yours. Left will find you at the Bottom Pub while right will put your feet in the Top Pub*. Enjoy a parma or any of the seasonal offerings and down it with a refreshing beer, local wine or cocktail. Enjoy an afternoon in the beer garden or on the deck, all warmed by fireplaces and braziers in the chillier times.
*The Top Pub is currently closed for renovations, re-opening early 2026.
Grab a coffee and some delicious snacks at Dolly – a 2 minute walk north. Don’t forget the cafe at Stony Creek Fish Farm. Beautiful people doing beautiful things.
How about Mexican with a modern twist? Timber & Sage, with its fabulous hospitality from Ella & Co, is just an amble away. Duck in for beautiful food, cocktails, vino and beer.
Yes, the legend that is the Harrietville Bakery. Try the famous vanilla slice or one of the many delightful pastries on offer. Limited opening days but a definite Harrietville must do when the lovely Nikki & Swanny have turned the sign!
A scenic 20-minute drive (or a leisurely ride of a bit over an hour) finds you in Bright with its deserved reputation as a foodie haven.
