Venue type: Bar    Review: Julie Whiting
Many locals remember the weird, triangular corner building as a post office, before it turned its hand to catering in the mid nineties and then became the much-loved Pinnacle. Lots of relaxing couches, tables with names instead of numbers and interesting op shop/antique decoration invited our attention, and we found it hard to leave. In winter settle into the indoor room with plush furnishings and blood red drapes, and if you don't mind the fresh air enjoy what the quirky beer garden has to offer.
Outdoor Area / Beer Garden
'Twas a sunny Sunday afternoon when we stumbled across it, having rejected the Parkview Hotel over the road in Scotchmer Street because it had no beer garden. But the Pinnacle did - and with ecclectic decorations (like umbrellas hanging from the shed roof), couches, an outdoor dunny, lots of foliage and an undercover pool table, what a garden it was!
Readers' Reviews
Had dinner here last night - cracking meal. Was bitterly cold outside and as soon you walk in you know it's a perfect place for such an evening - cosy - and a relaxed, friendly vibe with a diverse crowd. Despite the cold, we sat in the beer garden - which was well heated by ample heat lamps. Only had a few heads (15 or so) in the beer garden but we were treated to a SMILING DJ playing RECORDS - a thoroughly electic and enjoyable mix for a Wednesday evening. Food - was eating with one other and we decided on 4 share plates - the meatballs, the chicken strips, the beef strips (?) and the Mezze plate. At around $9 per dish, we were spoilt in terms of size and quality each. Moved in for a game of (poorly played) pool (Free on Wed) and a final pint of Mountain Goat... Not a heap else to say, other than the Pinnacle has a fine selection of Stable Tables if you enjoy eating with a challenge.
