At first I quite liked this place because a part of it reminded me of a couple of pubs that I used to visit in Adelaide, but I have to admit that the charm has started to wear off as I have discovered much better pubs in the local area. Still, it is a pretty popular hotel, and there always seems to be a crowd gathered out the front around the tables on the sidewalk. There is a fancy restaurant out the back, and the front bar also has a number of tables for the restaurant as well. The interior is quite nice, and the wall is covered with wallpaper of the ship that it was originally named after. Upstairs there is a function room, which I've been to once. As a pub it's okay, but as I've suggested there are a lot better ones in the area.
