Bonnie Doon Public House is set inside the 19th-century building which was previously home to Bloodhound Bar. The vision was to make the venue a humble Aussie paradise, which is what Bonnie Doon was to the Kerrigans in The Castle.

That sensibility comes across in the menu which features house-baked damper with Vegemite honey butter; devilled eggs made with curry and mountain pepper mayo; pork-and-beef rissoles (another nod to The Castle); and fairy bread.

For drinks, there’s a strong emphasis on Australian craft beer, with 14 taps throughout the venue pouring everything from a hazy IPA from Beerfarm to a double IPA from Range Brewing and a stout from Seven Mile.
