Follow the bluegrass tunes spilling out onto Beechworth’s main drag from this grand old pub. Townsfolk warm their cockles around the fire in the corner – old timers hooting and hollering as the band hits its stride, footballers and netballers swapping stories after a muddy day’s play. They’re ordering wild boar dim sims, one of several invasive species listed on the highly sustainable (and delicious) menu. Follow their lead. Upstairs, accommodation is simple, cheap and just what the doctor ordered after an evening on the local juice.
