Excellent service in the dining room this visit. Excellent food quality. The only pub in the Ballarat region where I am not invisible to the male bar staff! (Overweight, middle aged mum money is as good as hot 20-somethings money) I am still invisible to the female bar staff here! Owners very friendly to their regulars.

The Grapes Hotel Ballarat, VIC First opening their doors to weary gold miners back in 1858. An estimated 6000 diggers arrived each week seeking their fortune - & many turned up each night in-search lodging & a clean draught to ease their sorrows. With glorious polished timber & sandblasted brick front bar. It's surrounded by leadlight windows with small timber tables which serves a homely pub fair 7 nights a week. The bar specials are hard to go by while enjoying the delightful chatter of fellow patrons. I must say the steak sandwich is a must for anyone with some true blue grit that wears the same colour as their flannie! The dining room has a warm old school feel. Its walls are adorned with local prints of horse & carriage with sturdy pub carpet under foot, weathered by many years of good times turned into fond memories. No pokies onsite, which opens the door to a labyrinth of stories from the numerous grey beards in hi-vis perched at the bar. So come on in & let the bubbles of Ballarat's finest brew easy away the stress of long day - a pub hard to go by once you're visited. 7.5/10 @grapes_hotel_ballarat
