Southern Railway Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Caroline D
There is a lot to love about this pub. Cosy nooks with fireplaces . Bigger spaces for people watching. Check out that group at the main bar. It's like a scene from Cheers! The decor is a really comfortable and inviting mix of retro and country styling. We would have loved to have seen some craft beers on offer but we appreciate that this pub has stuck with the classics. The food is really, really good . There are the usual choices but some very interesting alternatives as well. Everyone makes a burger and a schnitzel but not as good as these. The chicken pot pie was huge! Steaks were so flavoursome and tender. Cooked to perfection. Very nice to see house made nuggets for kids as well. We wish we had a local like this Sydney. Lucky Goulburn!

Great place to stop for a bite to eat, and enjoy a fresh beverage when travelling to and from Canberra at an affordable price. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and beautiful decor. It's a pleasure to stop and take a break. Highly recommended.
4 Star Review by Ole Nimeton
Place has lost a bit of its charm since the renovations. Thank god they kept the original front bar but where has the pool table gone??? What are the kids supposed to do on a weekend now... Bar staff are still great, thankfully it still seems to have retained some locals rather than being just a soulless and empty pub aimed solely at the tourist accommodation market.
3 Star Review by Heath Freeman
It's a bit outdated, the photos I've seen for this place only shows the good parts. The rest is quite cramped, bit dark and dingy. There's a difference between heritage and run down. Just really a place for drunks and loud mouthed traidies. The food and service however are very redeeming, beautiful full sized Aussie pub food, inexpensive. worth it for that.
3 Star Review by Laura Crawford
Accomidation only, admittedly its an old pub but I would have expected the rooms to be in better condition for paying customers, really rundown, however tidy, would have been nice to not have 8-10 dirty linen bags out side our room! Im just happy they didn't smell...

5 Star Review by Chris King
It is a very simple menu executed to perfection. Everyone in the group got a different meal and we were all very happy. Moreover, the drinks menu - especially the wine - was excellent definitely will eat here next time I'm in town!

Massive portion sizes, amazing service, cozy and relaxed. Lunchtime special of lamb chops for $15 were amazing! Do yourself a favour - have a feed before catching the train.. Worth a weekend drive from Gungahlin or North Canberra if you're feeling adventurous.
