The Northwood Inn

Head down to Botany Bay Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. The Northwood Inn has that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in—the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar and locals actually want to spend their evenings. It's unpretentious stuff: honest beer, straightforward food that doesn't insult your intelligence, and conversation that flows naturally rather than being drowned out by forced music or gaming machines. The ratings speak for themselves, with nearly 200 reviews consistently praising what you get here.
