Well, I suddenly discovered that there was one pub that I hadn't visited on my trek around the Yorke Peninsula, which basically mean that I had to literally drive from the top to the bottom just to have a beer here. Yeah, I tend to do things like that, particularly in Australia where I can get away with it. Anyway, it turned out that the trip was somewhat worth it because this pub was too bad. Sure, it didn't stand at the heights of excellence, but then again it is a country pub so I shouldn't be too harsh on the place. Also, it is located in a rather small, almost non-existant, seaside town. Yeah, it isn't bad, and the service was pretty good. Sure, it was quiet when I was here, but at least it was open so I didn't waste my trip. read more

Stayed for 3 nights in Coobowie and loved it. The highlight was the Hotel- such a lovely manageress and fabulous staff and especially the very modest chef! Their menu puts many Adelaide hotels to shame with such an amazing variety of meals on offer, and all very reasonably priced. Our meals were simply delicious - yummy seafood and that calamari schnitzel was in a class of its own. We have eaten out 3 or 4 times a week for many years so have sampled many meals, here in Oz, and abroad, and we're still in raptures over our meals! As well on offer is a good fresh salad selection and also hot veges -great brussel sprouts! ( Last time we were here was over a weekend and the mushroom, onion and bacon had my husband drooling!) I hope the locals know exactly how lucky they are! Thanks very much, all at Coobowie Hotel Jenni and Darryl Pinch read more

For a country pub, GREAT! Compared to those snooty, super snobby, city-slicker pubs, less so! Prices are nice, food is delicious and interesting - everyone in our 20+ group was satisfied to very pleased. Service was kindly with the staff apologising for the wait (it was a very busy night). Certainly recommended if you're in the area - avoid the Edithburgh pubs, they are garbage in comparison! read more

I come to the Coobowie Pub for the "Calla Coobowie" with creamy garlic prawns. It is delightful and sooooo tasty! I can't comment on the salad or vege bar as I don't eat anything from there (meal size is big enough) but plenty do! Service can be quite slow but there are usually a huge number of people eating so I don't mind! It is an old pub but a popular venue! read more
