Community and diversity are the two words that spring to mind when talking about Brunswick’s Edinburgh Castle.

Whether you’re travelling alone, in pairs or as a group, you can feel comfortable in your surroundings – a homely pub that’s familiar in some ways and unique in others. Since 1852, when the pub was seen by some as a gateway to the gold fields of the north, The Castle has had plenty of makeovers – there are definitely no longer stables out the back or troughs out the front. They’ve held onto plenty of their structural heritage though, leaving the modern fun to be found via their nightly entertainment.

Whether you’ve got a well of useless knowledge just waiting to be tapped, or you’re sharp with a ping pong paddle in hand, you’ve got loads of reasons to drop by and say hello. Plus, Head Chef Fynn Crawford is dishing up plenty of reasons to stay a little longer, with a contemporary bistro menu balancing big eats and considered flavours: beetroot fritters, pulled pork steamed buns, eggplant schnitzel and kale-enhanced kangaroo fillet are just some of the tasty options to tempt you. And while you’re dining, make sure you ask the knowledgeable staff what drink will complement your meal best – they have a fantastic range of wines and beers to choose from.
