AI Summary

Newtown pub icon split between loyal parmi fans and praise for its ambitious new chef.

Classic old-style front bar with pokies and sports screens, alongside a more polished bistro dining room and function room.

A private Western Room function space hosting large group celebrations of up to 30, plus a chef-driven menu featuring dishes like kangaroo and slow-cooked duck.

Classic Australian pub heritage. 'an absolute classic regional Victoria venue' per one reviewer, though the food has shifted toward a more contemporary direction under the new kitchen.

Views on value are split: some call pricing very reasonable for premium steak and pasta, others feel portions don't match the ticket price on pub classics like burgers and fish and chips.
