Adelaide
Thank goodness the owners of this huge pub just east of the CBD got rid of the golf theme...but they replaced it with a jungle theme! D'oh… Theme-schmeme,…
Melbourne
The Lounge has seen a lot of years and still feels like a share house from the early 1990s – in a good way, of course. Evenings are filled with the sound…
Darwin
It's a long way from Cork, but Darwin has a few Irish-theme pubs. Shenannigans mixes it up with a big Mitchell St terrace, hearty food and big party…

Cradle Country & The West
On the main highway, Tullah's pub attracts local drinkers but has a rough edge and could be cleaner. In winter a large wood fire keeps customers warm. At…
Great Ocean Road
The town's only pub has a generic set-up, with mainstream beers, chicken parmas and a TAB betting shop. It does occasional live entertainment; check the…

Suva
Two rooms, two bars and two sets of speakers playing different music at the same time. You’ll never quite know what to expect here and if you stand…
