In a way it seems to be a more laid back and chilled pub, which is more accustomed to dining as opposed to partying. The front bar was rather small, but still a decent sized, but the bistro was reasonably large. There wasn't a beer garden though, only a smoker's cage out the back, but the certainly did have some outdoor seating out the front. Look, it wasn't too bad, but it was okay, and a nice place to have a beer.

I was in moonta with a couple of friends for the day so we decided to get lunch here…read more We were greeted as soon as we walked in and offered a table outside in the beautiful sunshine. The atmosphere was great and the bar man was polite and friendly. I ordered the pumpkin and olive salad but I changed the pumpkin for avocado and they were more than happy to comply. My friends got the seafood platter and the schnitzel with dianne gravy. They have a salad bar with all meals which was good, unfortunately as happens quite often there was meat in the potato salad. Food was quick and served with a smile. My salad was beautiful - a tad heavy on the olives but beautiful none the less. My friends enjoyed their meals too. I will be back if I am in Moonta again, the price and experience were well worth it.

The more 'upmarket' and tourist oriented pub in town, the North Star has a real funky interior and…read moreoffers a great atmosphere to patrons. With a funky outback theme you definitely feel like you're outside of the city in this awesome pub and the menu certainly matches with many kangaroo options included - even roo schnitzels are available! The prices are really reasonable - for both food and drink and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating - we were there on a busy long weekend and they went out of their way to make sure that we had a table. I ordered the King of The Mount Kangaroo Schnitzel with beetroot, salsa, cheese and pieces of lamb (crazy!) but delicious! I also sampled some of their yummy steak and a taste of the fiery spicy snitty! Almost a perfect score, if only the offerings in the salad bar had been a little nicer - and maybe a little more broad!

You move to a table, and order many many dishes (because they are nice) - we had the Jerusalem artichokes, the pate, the jamon and fig, a gorgeously simple green salad, a roasted pig and the bark-wrapped trout, the sweets, the sticky wines... great portions and fantastic dishes (creamy pate with pickled cherries, the artichokes were finger licking good, the jamon and gorgeous figs.. ...enough, you get the point...). Staff were fantastic, and I only wish the wine selection was slightly better balanced. However, our host pointed us to a really really good Mataro.

Okay, it is a bit of a trek to reach, and it is also effectively in the middle of nowhere (though I am sure if you are determined enough you could walk, or at least ride a bike), but for me at least, it was certainly worth it. Okay, the pub itself is your typical country pub, and you can be assured that the publican knows everybody who walks in through the door on a first name basis (except for people like me who trek up from the city just to have a beer). They have a pretty nice beer garden, however it is one of those beer gardens that it basically a converted backyard, complete with two yappy dogs that want to play with you while you are having a beer. This pub certainly has a character of its own, and I know I would be very tempted to stop by here again if I am ever in the area.

Any pub that doesn't succumb to the lure of the pokie machine is going to be a good pub in my books, and it certainly was a good pub. In part it felt like an inner-city pub, yet it still retained that rural feeling about it, probably because there was a building out the back called 'The Barn' that happened to be a function room (and there was also a barbecue under the shelter). Okay, it still seemed to be a place where the locals would sit at the bar chatting with the bartender, but I didn't let that get to me, especially with the lounge area sporting some rather interesting artwork.
