Courthouse Bar & Grill

We were visiting family and decided to go out for dinner. The publican was not overly friendly, and it felt like we were inconveniencing him when making the booking, and ordering our meals and drinks. It wasn't super busy - but it did take quite sometime for our meals to come out. When they did they were quite good, the children's nuggets were good (looked and tasted housemate rather than frozen which was great), all the chips were replaced with wedges (not an issue - but also not expected or advised when ordering). The steak was pretty good, schnitzels, chicken, and garlic prawns all pretty good. Pricing was okay too. Would eat here again.

Sunday night dinner in Ararat is not filled with choice but the Courthouse bar and grill was open and was a great choice. A pleasant character dining room serviced by a central bar that also serves the front bar. Simple pub food that doesn’t disappoint. We had Bangers and Mash with the freshest salad I have just about every had. The wine list is limited but locally focussed which isn’t an issue as the region produces good quality wines. Super pleasant barman and prompt service,
