A
Courthouse Hotel
This corner pub has managed to retain the comfort and familiarity of a local while taking food, both in its public bar and its more formal dining spaces, very seriously. The European-style dishes are both refined and hearty. Lunch deals, including a glass of wine, are good value at $37, or head to the front bar for (cheaper) finds. From Queen Victoria Market head west along Victoria St, then take a right at Errol St.

Little Creatures
Little Creatures is classic Freo: harbour views, fantastic brews (made on the premises) and excellent food. In a cavernous converted boatshed overlooking the harbour, it can get chaotic at times, but the wood-fired pizzas and substantial mains are well worth the wait.

Stirling Hotel
The owners spent so much money tarting up this gorgeous old dame, it's a wonder they can pay the staff. A runaway success, the free-flowing bistro (classy pub grub) and romantic restaurant (upmarket regional cuisine) are always packed.

Rainbow Beach Hotel
The spruced-up pub carries on the plantation theme with ceiling fans, palm trees, timber floors and cane furnishings. The restaurant is bright and airy and serves up traditional pub grub. Have a sunset drink on the upstairs balcony.

-
Old Cheese Factory
In a converted cheese factory (you might have guessed), this outfit gives the Meningie pub a run for its money. Lean on the front bar with the locals, or munch into steaks, lasagne, mixed grills, Coorong mullet or a Coorong burger (with mullet!) in the cavernous dining room. There's a very lo-fi history museum here too.

Whitsunday Sailing Club
The sailing-club terrace (don't sit inside) is a great place for a meal and a drink and wonderful ocean views. Choose from the usual steak and schnitzel culprits.

Margo Miles Restaurant
This pleasant pub-restaurant is a welcome change from roadhouse dining rooms. Grab a drink from the Faye Lewis Bar, then settle down in the period dining room for a steak, seafood, pasta, Thai or gourmet pizza.

Jabiru Sports & Social Club
Along with the golf club, this low-slung hangar is the place to meet the locals over a beer. The bistro meals are surprisingly adventurous (try the tempura croc tail with bean salad and chilli ketchup), there's an outdoor deck overlooking the lake and sports on TV.

Halls Gap Hotel
For generous no- nonsense bistro food, you can't beat the local pub, about 2km north of town. With views of the Grampians, it's a social place for a beer after a day's bushwalking.

Vine Hotel
Ned Kelly and his gang used to hang out here; these days the food is better and you're less likely to get shot. Go underground to the small museum and cellars. The Vine is about 3km north of town, on the road to Eldorado.
