The Friendly Inn

One of the region’s oldest pubs is located in the heart of Australia’s most beautiful valley, the Friendly Inn is a favourite among locals and travellers alike. With world-class scenery, recreation and cultural events right outside their doors, the Friendly Inn is the perfect place for your next gathering. Whether you live in the Valley or you’re just passing through, the staff at the Friendly Inn invite you around for a feed or a quiet few. In addition to their nightly blackboard specials, the chefs at the Friendly Inn are always cooking up top-notch Aussie favourites like seafood, steaks and schnitzels. The Friendly Inn has a full-service bar open seven days a week. Their bar staff offer a variety of domestic, imported and boutique beers, as well as a wide range of wines and spirits. Their back yard has been called the world’s best beer garden more than once. Nothing goes better with a cold beer than a panoramic view of the sun setting over the valley’s escarpments. There’s a covered playground area for the kids and a Pétanque court for the big kids. The courtesy bus operates Thursday night to Sunday afternoon.
