Cooyar Pub

Our dirt bike adventure group stayed at this pub last weekend. I read a few reviews of the so called a rude ady who owns the pub. So I was on a mission to see for myself. At first she was very matter of fact, but once I got to know her I realised that she really knows how to run a pub. Amazing sense of multitasking and getting things done. Stick around and talk to this woman, hard exterior soft heart. Very awesome woman that gets the job done. Sam is the chef that likes deep sea fishing, can't access the deep sea fish that he catches. But an awesome guy that has cooked all over Australia. Great pub and we will definitely go back. If you are coming from the city don't be precious, have a few rum & cokes red wine or whatever and chill, then feel what this pub is all about.

We stayed at Swinging Bridge Park and I went to pub for a beer. I asked for a beer. No hello or conversation. Put the beer in front of me and gave me change. No speak. Husband/partner (?) walked past me 4or 5 times and didn’t even look at me let alone say anything. The big tv was on and the news came on. There were 2 locals in the bar. The sound was off. I said excuse me could we have some sound on the tv? She gave me a dirty look and said No- bar rules! I laughed and said you are kidding. She gave me another strange look and said You want sound on for the news? I said yes please. She turned it up so that you could just hear some sound but not hear what was being said. After about 2 minutes she walked back, picked up the remote and turned the sound off! I finished my beer and left and won’t be back. Do yourself a favour and give it a big miss!! Graham

Stumbled into Cooyar just driving around the area. It was lunchtime so we headed to the pub. Lovely pub with fire going. Service was good and the steak was one of the best I’ve had in ages! Cooked so well and as I asked for it. They said it was from a farm down the road. Thanks for a great lunch!
