NIGHT SPOTS
LIQUID LOUNGE
A touch of European influence - lots of comfy couches spread around the
lounge and subdued music to set the atmosphere - the ideal way to finish
off a night out
SEANCHAI
Irish Pub and well known Warrnambool night spot, inclined to get a bit
noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. The crowd is predominantly 18 to
25, so not the place for a quiet drink - Sunday nights are more laid back
and there is usually a small jam session for some of the local muso's
or the occassional comedy night - Mid week is the best time for a quiet
Guiness
GALLERY CLUB
More commonly known as the G spot - Under 30's disco and live bands -
The Gallery usually starts to fire up after midnight when everything else
is closing down, and is a popular last port of call to check to see what
you have missed.
HOTELS
SEANCHAI
Irish Pub and well known Warrnambool night spot, inclined to get a bit
noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. The crowd is predominantly 18 to
25, so not the place for a quiet drink, mid week and Sunday nights are
more like a typical Irish Pub. The quality of the beer is good and I am
told by an expert that the Guiness is more than acceptable, also the possibility
of meeting the man or woman of your dreams, or both if your'e that way
inclined
VICTORIA
Right in the centre of town, the Vic has a diverse clientele, from young
backpackers to older regulars. One of those pubs that seems to be something
happening from early in the morning to late at night - Friday and Saturday
nights are fairly busy - Counter meals run 7 days a week - Beer, food
and hospitality are all good
MAC's
Although Mac's Hotel has been transformed into Macey's bistro, the front
bar is still officially still known as Mac's to the locals. Has a loyal
group of drinkers who wouldn't go anywhere else - Beer and food both very
good
WHALERS
Was originally the Commercial Hotel and for many years a working mans
pub - more recently has been totally refurbished and only the exterior
remains unchanged - now a very up market style pub and popular night spot.
Gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights and is predominantly 18 -25.
Much quieter during the week and early in the evenings on weekends. Although
its is a pleasant spot to have a beer, you would feel more at home with
a chardonnay in your hand !!
CRITERION
One of the few real working men's pubs still surviving - good bar trade
and a good place to catch a glimpse of a real Aussie country pub. No glitzy
decor but the quality of the beer is paramount - possibly best described
as a Jimmy Barnes pub - One of Warrnambool's few remaining live music
venues - usually a rock band on Friday and Saturday night. The Cri also
has a wide selection of countermeals on the menu
CALEDONIAN
The Cally is one of Warrnambool's busiest pubs - Pub TAB in the front
bar and four pool tables and a few Daytona's in the lounge means that
the Cally has fairly diverse range of drinkers ( and punters) and standing
room only on Friday and Saturday nights - not known for its counter meals
but you can still get a reasonable feed at the Cally
WARRNAMBOOL
Very much in the style of a typical English Pub - lots of comfortable
couches and a wide variety of beer on tap. Its not unusual to see people
having a coffee and reading the newspaper during the afternoon - tends
to attract an over 30's crowd and usually very busy on Friday and Saturday
nights - meals and beer both good , but a bit more expensive.
SHAMROCK
Dennington's only pub and being across the road from the Nestle factory
is has been "the local" for many of the factory workers, there
is also strong connection with the local Dennington community, so you
will also see a lot of families out for a counter meal. Currently has
a very good reputation for its counter meals
RAFFERTY'S TAVERN
Built in the late 1980's, Rafferty's holds the distinction of being the
first new Warrnambool pub in 70 or 80 years. Looking very much like the
taverns that sprang up in the new Melbourne suburbs during the 70's and
80's, the decor is fairly neutral and the layout typical of a suburban
hotel, with a 60 to 70 seat tavern bar and a 100 seat entertainment venue
which fills up for counter meals on weekends. Beer and meals both good
THE ROYAL
Located opposite the Warrnambool Co-Op, the Royal does good steady business,
the family bistro serves restaurant style counter meals at pub prices
and you will always find a few locals in the front bar. The Royal also
has a PubTAB in the middle bar and possibly best described as a friendly
family style pub
