Ex-Melbourne pub with a gem of an interior. Although it has been partly opened out in the past, many historic features remain including many leaded windows externally and internally and ornate woodwork. The interior comprises an opened-out lounge area containing the bar with a separate room to the front. There is also a small snug area to the rear with a serving hatch from the bar.
