Established in 1857, this piece of history remains a favorite with locals. The Dry Dock's two bars serve up schooners of Aussie beers, as well as trusty imports like Kilkenny and Guinness. There is a Las Vegas-style gaming room and punters can also put a bet on at the TAB, play a game of trivia, or catch the action on Sky or Foxsports. There's good pub grub over the counter and fine food in the covered courtyard Aviary Restaurant including roasted veal, duck breast with star anise and Thai seafood curry. Yummy!!
