Drinks, food, entertainment, atmosphere – it’s all at the Crown & Sceptre.

Editorial


The Crown and Sceptre is a retreat where all can be catered for. Hot days bring shoppers in for a replenishing lunch and cold drink or coffee. Evenings bring all kinds, all bumping shoulders at the bar. Come winter, the fire is roaring and the place is as cosy as Grandma's couch. (That's if your Granny was into retro!). The front bar, decked with playful lights and colourful artwork, is warm and inviting.

No wonder the regulars are so diverse; the drinks are too. From the top shelf if it's payday to the bottom if you're feeling stretched, the choice is really good. Cocktails are definitely on the cards (priced from $15 to $28), including the usual recipes, plus some originals to keep you curious. There are wines from around the globe and beer is constantly flowing nice and frosty. The menu embraces the pub classics, with some flavoursome Asian influenced dishes available too (mains are priced quite affordably from $15 to $28).

Booze and food… any entertainment? DJs and bands will keep you rocking on your stool all night. If you're the get-up-and-boogie type, go for it. For a more intimate conversation or dinner, the beer garden and a la carte dining room are perfect.

All in all, it's a friendly atmosphere to enjoy a drink, satisfy a rumbling belly and listen to some local talent. Be prepared for a busy bar though. It's a popular establishment, and for good reason.

I recently ventured to the well known "Crown and Sceptre" and was very impressed by not only the extensive wines available by the glass including my favourite, French Gerwurztraminer but also the great Chef Specials. On this balmy night my partner and I decided to let the waitress help choose for us and wow were we given a gourmet treat. This is far from your local pub fare...We indulged in house made chicken pate, Crab Souffle, rabbit confit and a divine apple & butterscotch crepe. This place is such a hidden treasure...great service, great food, fantastic atmosphere...Keep it up!!!!! 10/10
