Bojangles
Behind the swinging saloon doors is a 'Wild West meets Aussie Outback' theme complete with cowhide seats, stockman regalia and a live 3m-long carpet python behind the bar. Bo's is beloved of backpacker groups and station ringers and is jumping most nights of the week.

Firkin & Hound
This low-lit, Brit tavern has snug booths, a large TV fixed on the sports channel and a dozen or so beers on tap. It’s a pleasant place to bend the elbow and fill up on hearty meals such as beef and Guinness pie for lunch or dinner (mains $12 to $25).

Juicy Rump
Not as bad as the name suggests, this is the late-night favourite if you want to have a dance to cheesy R'n'B or watch a big sporting event on the town's largest plasma screen. Also has a deck with a view to the ranges, lovely for sunset drinks.

Annie's Place
Easily the most atmospheric watering hole in town. Decent music (sometimes live), leafy beer garden, cheap jugs and pool-side drinking.
