Wonderful old Art Deco refurbished pub. A hidden gem. Typical well prepared pub food. You need to order at bar which has issues as noise level in here is loud plus staff struggle to understand the menu. Meals are brought to your table number. Prices reasonable. Location close to Central station. Worth a visit just to see living history.

The food and service was excellent, as always. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We will be back next month for another lunch bringing together some of Australia's leading journalists and former foreign correspondents.
