Brisbane's Port Office Hotel on fire

Perhaps they filed the insurance policy too close to the switchboard like happened in a lot of old country town pubs.
The Port Office used to be a good proper pub. In recent years it morphed into a crossbred yuppie restaurant pub. Hard to find a decent drinkers pub in the CBD nowadays.

SubscriberI think most of the insurance policies were filed near the stoves in the kitchen.Originally Posted by Bigbjorn
As for a decent CBD pub, it is the same in Melb.
Every year I have a tradition after the AFL grand final I take my brother home to Port Melb.
There is a small pub en route we used to stop for a couple.
Two years ago stopped in and they no longer had Carlton Draught on tap, only hipster beers(I do have a different description of beer which I can't write here)
Needless to say we left and have not and won't ever go back

True. Have to go bush to find a good pub nowadays. The Grand Hotel in Gayndah, gets my vote. Along with the Miriam Vale Hotel, with their mud crab sandwiches. I tend to drive to 1770 via Miriam, rather than cut thru Bundy. I'll have a think about good bush pubs, been to a few, especially in the NT.

SubscriberThe Shamrock in the Valley. The site of a not so nice incident from my father and uncle, between the wars. Grandad came back from the Western front, worse for wear, and because the family was living in Jeays st, Valley, the Shamrock was his local. One night after too many rums, Gramp was asked to leave. Thrown out actually. At this time the pub had a great collection of parrots in a big cage. Quite the attraction. Dad and his brother went down one night after closing and let the lot out. I went into the Shamrock a year or two ago, just to have a beer with Grampy, so to speak. The people at the bar were the living dead, I drank my beer and slowly backed out. Should never look back, just forward.
