Two-level beer garden with street views

“The location opposite Central Station is a real draw, particularly with the upgraded bistro serving solid takes on British and Australian pub fare; I appreciate the on-site gaming and casino facilities too. With its proximity to major attractions and transport, it's a practical choice. Its vibrant bar scene and surprisingly good food make it a worthwhile option in a busy city.”
