It's Our Shout!
Just kidding. You'll want to buy us a drink after you work your way through these great suggestions, from waterside cocktails through to distilleries and country pubs, you won't go thirsty on our watch.
Top Six Sundowner Spots
Our fave time of the day, and Port Mac really delivers on the sunset side. Is there anything better than relaxing with a bevvy overlooking the River and/or ocean, with a bit of people watching thrown in? Oh, and next-level snacks which can blend into dinner are also a must. You're welcome :)
Hit the Trail...
We've assembled a couple of 'Taste Trails' we think you'll appreciate (hey, you've come to the booze section after all...). Introducing our 'Bars + Bites' trail, and our 'Brews + Burgers' trail. Curated with inside intel so you can seek out the hidden gems :)
Best Pubs by a Country Mile!
Hitch your steed outside the Beechwood Hotel, located just outside of Wauchope, won Wotif's 'Australia's Best Country Pub' in 2021. Wander a little further and you'll come across the Traveller's Rest at Long Flat, popular with day trippers and overnighters, especially those wanting to set up camp beside the river next to the pub. Head south to Kew and you'll find the Royal Hotel, a lovingly restored heritage pub. All have awesome beer gardens and offer country hospitality.
