This is a review of the restaurant and pub only…read more The Lakeview Hotel restaurant and bar is referred to as "the pub" by many locals. It's not because it is the only place to get a drink in town; there are plenty of those. I'm guessing it's because the downstairs portion is one of the only places to actually resemble a pub, complete with wraparound bar, pool table and a dart board. But I could be wrong (Perhaps it was the site of the first bar in town?) Our work group came here on a few occasions when we wanted to keep it casual and were happy with simple dinners and pub grub. The menu upstairs featured all the basic Aussie fare including burgers, steaks, fish and chips, and schnitzel (which appears on nearly every menu in the country - no lie). The food was nothing special. On my first visit I chose a local sea trout (similar to salmon) which was fine but slightly overcooked. On my second visit I tried the chicken schnitzel - decent, basic comfort food and little more. They have a full bar here, but based on the lack of bar tending skills, they had some wasted shelf space. When I saw "Pimm's No. 1" on the shelf, I asked for a Pimm's Cup cocktail (the only thing this liqueur is ever used for). But the barkeep had no idea how to make one. (He then looked it up and saw he didn't have all the ingredients.) When I asked for an Old Fashioned (i.e. one of the basic core cocktails that every bartender should know) he didn't know how to make one of those either. I settled for a gin and tonic; at last - success! The one thing the Lakeview Pub did have going for it were its hours. It seemed to be one of the few places open late. (and when I say "late", I mean after 9 pm). Hey, it's Merimbula, not Manhattan. (p.s. I'll bet the bartender couldn't make one of those either).

With a sink, toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge and table & chairs you can have a light breakfast before heading out. It is a typical old style rectangular unit with the back area sectioned off for the bathroom. There is even a VHS player as well as a DVD player if you have some old movies. The shower is large so you don't have to fight the shower curtain but you don't have much light as you are in its shadow. A good place to stay without any bells and whistles

This is really good value for money!

But there is a gorgeous patio that my friends and I decide to sit on and have a drink. We ordered one entrée, fish and chips, that we shared amongst three of us and it was delicious! There was some live music which blew my mind while we were there. We each had one drink, It was a ginger beer alcoholic drink, and OMG I loved it. To order food or drinks you need to stand in line and get a number and it will be brought to your table we got lucky in order before the place got too crowded. Apparently it was a designated place that everybody from the ship went to. Yes I would recommend this if you're not going to go on a tour it's a nice place in town to hang out
