Built in 1889, Broken Hill's most famous pub, of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert fame, has an elaborate cast-iron verandah, plus wonderfully kitsch landscape murals covering almost every inch of the public areas. There's excellent pub-grub in the Sidebar restaurant (mains $22 to $24), but at the very least, a drink in the front bar or on the upstairs balcony is essential.
If you're partial to a flutter, play the iconic Aussie game of 'two-up' (gambling on the fall of two coins) on Fridays from 9pm.
