Our first stop when we arrived at night in Launceston. Not a whole lot of night life in this small…read moretown, and I'm not much of a drinker, so RBR it was. It's a really narrow, small cider house and I think there may have been more seating back out, but we just took a seat at the bar. There was also a small stage for live performances.
The bartender was a young girl and told us it wasn't really apple season anymore, so they only had one type of cider on tap. I got the cider and my boyfriend a gin + tonic. Surprisingly, the gin + tonic was really easy to drink and hardly tasted like alcohol, so I swapped my cider with his drink, hah.
Nothing to rave about for the drinks, but also nothing to complain about. What pushed me to give RBR that 4th star is the service. Ever watch 'Me Before You'? Well our young bartender reminded me so much of the main girl in that (who also played Khaleesi in GoT) - a totally wholesome, quirky, genuine character. She gave us the low down on her favorite places in the area, and even let us borrow her laptop to do some research so we could figure out what we were doing tomorrow! And when we paid with a CC and were told we couldn't add tip via that after we asked about it, she reassured us we didn't have to tip and that most people don't there. Still wish we had AUD at the time to do so cause she was a total sweetheart.
