”There’s something magical about Goldy’s! Maybe it’s how the sun streaks through the front windows and bathes the pool table in light that makes the silver balls sparkle, or maybe how if you look closely at your beer you realise the bubbles are dancing in pairs to the surface, or it could simply be how everyone’s favourite song seems to be playing when they walk in. You can’t quite place where the magic comes from, but if you sit at the orange bar long enough and listen to the laughter and stories being shared around, you realise, with the right type of eyes, that the magic comes from the shared love of everyone within. This is a pub where your new best friend sits waiting, this is the pub where long lasting friendships are forged. This is Goldy’s!, and it’s magical.”Matthew O’Brien, local legend

We had the taco and sashimi plates - both were superb. We also found all the staff to be friendly and extremely helpful when choosing the food. The restaurant manager was knowledgeable about the wines they stock and in discussion with her we were pleased with our choice. Can't speak highly enough of the people and the place!
