What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We enjoyed the friendly ambience of this quaint old pub. Had a great meal, played pool which was free and also pub golf which was free. Best wishes to Dylan, Molly and Bobby who entertained us in front of a lovely log fire. Please support this lovely old family pub which survives without pokies.”
“First time in Echuca, we have tried all the pubs but nothing beats this one, just a nice country authentic pub. Great food, beers ice cold, friendly locals such as kaz and brownie and the beautiful young bar tender Molly who made our experience a 10/10 definitely will be coming back to Echuca just for this!”
“Truly an institution, great staff, great meals, great drinks. So good to be in a space that's more about welcoming you from the start rather than all flash and grab your cash.”
“We went there for the first time (and definitely won't be the last) time today. We were greeted with a warm welcome by Shell. We then sat down for lunch and a drink. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced.”
“Good scotch fillet and creamy garlic sauce. It is relaxed atmosphere and doesn’t attract the idiots or snobs if you just want a quiet meal in peace .”
“I can not believe in the years we have been coming to Echuca we have missed this little gem. The food was fantastic but the service is old school, and Eddie the barman is simply brilliant, nothing was too much trouble he is amazing, thank you Eddie, we will be back because of you. One last thing, the slushy’s are the best”
“What a find! We have been coming to Echuca for years and usually go to the RSL but stumbled upon this gem when we were craving something with an authentic atmosphere. Boy did we find it at Tara’s Hall. Parmas were amazing! The chips were so fresh and tasty. Even the salad was great and not the usual after thought it is at most pubs. Kids nuggets were home made and hand cut. Staff very friendly - will definitely be back next time we’re here. Sorry I didn’t take any photos…too keen to eat it!”
