The Charles Dickens Tavern
There’s a little of ye olde England at the Charles Dickens Tavern. A homely, comfortable haven for lunch and evening dinner or the occasional drink.
There's something for everyone with light meals of fish or pasta and cold Australian beer. And if you fancy a bit of cuisine from the British Isles then choose the traditional roasts and pies.
Sip an ale in the Pickwick Room with its beautiful historic mural and a la carte menu, or sample the English and classical dishes or the Oliver Twist Bar and Micawber's Lounge.
This is the perfect place for before and after theatre rendezvous, a get-together with friends, or just escape the bustle of the city.
Drinks are reduced to Dickensian prices during ‘happy hour’, and English, Scottish and European football is shown on big-screen television.
