Ive recently come across the Ginninderra Tavern , as well as the Pot Belly and was wondering if anyone has been to either and can offer their thoughts on them…. Does anyone know if the Ginninderra Tavern has a TAB?
Ginninderra Tavern should have a TAB . I don’t bet but seen races on tv there. Kaleen Tavern, There is also a little tavern at the 1/2 way shops in Kaleen.
George is great bro.
Plenty of drinking room outside on a warm evening.
The George is a Disneyfied imitation of a pub. It’s a pub designed by someone who has had a pub described to him by someone who visited Eng;land as young boy, went into a pub, but was too young to understand or perceive what the pace was all about.
The Basement is worth a visit. Great live music, several pool tables and pinball machines – and no pokies. Its right opposite the bus yards, so no drinking and driving is required. I also like the Pot Belly.

Wank wank.
As far as I know, George is the only place in canberra with speckled hen on tap?
It’s not about atmosphere, it’s about drinks, service and eats. To claim otherwise is to be ignorant.
There are no pubs in Belconnen. In fact their are only bars in this city, no pubs at all in Canberra.
George Harcourt Inn?
Nah, sadly it’s pretty much turned into a restaurant these days with all the tables booked for dinner.
Used to have a quaint feel to it 20 years ago, but now sadly, you have to ‘reserve’ a table, which gives it more of a restaurant feel than a drop- by-for- a- quick- lager type of place.

A bit of column A and a bit of column B I think. The George is a decent pub with decent food and good beer.
The whole place is pastiche but then it ‘fits the vernacular of the streetscape’ as our planner friends would say. It’s not the worst building at Gold Creek by a long shot. The container load of jimcrackery hanging off the wall and the ceiling could be thrown in a skip without any effect, good or bad IMHO.

How is a visit to a pub not about the atmosphere? It’s a must have prerequisite.
You must have fried your brain drinking in Singleton…

If atmosphere isn’t important, then drink and eat at home. The drinks will be cheaper, you have full control over the service, and can eat whatever you like.

Give me a good beer and good fried snacks and I will drink at any old s hole you sit me in.
Sadly all times I was at singo, there was a Mormon boss who put a stop on all booze for us.
You must have fried your brain drinking in Singleton…
Drinking in Singo will definitely do that for you. But if you really want irreparable brain damage, get on the turps in Cessnock. You’ll never be the same again.
I used to live directly across the road from the GT, wouldn’t suggest it… Felt like it was being run out of someone’s living room when I tried it out, but in fairness that was 10 years ago. I’d suggest Pot Belly which is stumbling distance from GT.
And how is the Kingo not a pub?? It’s even got a hotel above it run by the pub!

There used to be more Taverns in Belco but the Labour party shut them all down to force patrons to the Labour clubs to boost Labour revenue

The Pot Belly has a great pinball machine
Why don’t you just go inside and check them out??? Write your own review.

Yeah, weird question. You clearly know where they are so why not just go in and see for yourself?

The Pot Belly is a fantastic little pub. Worth dropping in and having a pint.
Also live music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Debacle has speckled hen, and budvar, on tap!
In before Pork Hunt…
Queanbeyan.
Though some of the pubs there are a little too authentic, in my limited experience.

SO if we serve Speckled Hen in Belco bus depot does that make it a “proper pub”?
Ben_Dover said :
So an RSL is a proper pub?
I’d stick to games and comics if I were you.

Can you give me a link to the legislation that lists prerequisites before some thing can be called a pub?
As I said, give me speckled hen on tap in a clean glass and il happily drink it at the gowrie court common room.
What happened to that little pub at the shops in Fraser?
thebrownstreak69 said :
Was still there last time I stopped at those shops but that was a while ago. Classy dudes drinking there before lunch though.
One of the only small holes in town I never grabbed a beer at.
The Fraser tav is still going the beer is also cold and tastes great un like my other watering hole the pot belly where the tap beer if just woefull
Comic_and_Gamer_Nerd said :
No, but I can give you my opinion on what constitutes a pub, and none of the drinking holes in Canberra meet that specification.
Comic_and_Gamer_Nerd said :
Yes well, you would wouldn’t you.
