Okay, Virginia is probably going to be swallowed up by the suburbs of Adelaide sooner or later, but this pub still has a country charm to it. I guess what made it stand out to me was how friendly and welcoming the patrons are, always ready to have a chat with a new comer, and not understanding the attitude of us city dwellers to visit a pub for one beer (or maybe that is just me). Anyway, one of the guys pointed the old sign to me with a picture of a wheatsheaf on it and told me that once he called the number that was underneath it to discover that the guy who originally painting the sign actually answered the phone, so he invited him down to the pub to get him to return the sign to its former glory, however the publican didn't want a bar of it. I liked this place, not too far out of the city and a very welcoming atmosphere, at least with the patrons.
