The Criterion Hotel

A restored 1880s Sale pub serving ambitious gastropub dishes and boutique accommodation.

A beautifully restored 1880s heritage building pairing boutique-hotel elegance with classic pub warmth; the dining room leans upmarket gastropub while the bar area stays casual.

Boutique accommodation upstairs in a restored 1880s building, themed cocktail afternoons, an extensive wine list, and function hosting for large groups such as office parties and client dinners.

Rooted in Australian colonial pub heritage via its restored 1880s building rather than a specific food-culture lineage.

Pricier than a typical country pub, with steaks up to $88 and a $20 pint drawing complaints against a nearby pub charging less, though most reviewers say quality and service justify it on a normal night.
