Public Bar & Casual Dining

The Public Bar is where the town comes in. A pint after work, a pub meal, a spritz with friends. Warm in winter, cool in summer. Order at the bar and we’ll bring it out.

Wednesday to Monday, 12pm to 10pm
Tuesday, 4pm to 10pm

Prefer some fresh air? Enjoy your meal out in the beer garden or balcony, where you can soak up the sunshine or enjoy the sunset (weather permitting). It’s first come, first served, so no bookings. Just good food, great drinks, and the kind of atmosphere that brings everyone together.

Outdoor Dining

Whether it is the height of summer and the sun is shining, or in the depths of winter when there is frost in the air, we have outdoor dining options that mean you can take advantage of the fresh country air but still be comfortable. You can place your orders for meals and drinks at the bar, or for your convenience, order using the QR code on your table, and we will deliver your meals and drinks directly to you.

    Soak up the rays, watch the world go by and greet all the locals under our front verandah.

  • Wine and a beer on a balcony table overlooking Daylesford's main street

    Best Balcony in Town

    Our majestic balcony overlooks the centre of town and across to the sunset in the evening. It truly is one of the best places in Daylesford to see and be seen!

  • Leafy beer garden courtyard with umbrellas, heaters and festoon lights

    The Beer Garden

    Our rear courtyard has umbrellas, heaters and a small stage for live music. Dogs welcome. It’s where the town comes to sit a while.
