Friendly Inn Hotel

South Coast NSW


Locals pour in to join day-trippers in the grassy rear beer garden and sunny verandah for people-watching or just checking in on the Kangaroo Valley vibes. An impressive range of boutique beers on tap is a hangover from the popular Beer & BBQ Festival held here each November.

It serves pub food par excellence (laksa, schnitzel, grilled barramundi and more).
