The Southern Railway Hotel Goulburn

Finally a pub with some actual culture. The last bastion of the good Ol' days when pubs were pubs and not hipster clubs. Clean, spacy, good prices, and classic style. Dedicated staff who look after their regulars and treat all patrons with respect and a friendly chat. True legends they are. The pub community here is as "True Blue" as it gets; respect them they'll respect you, always down for a yarn, classic Aussie crude humour, wisdom from the golden oldies, and a joyous drinking culture that would make "Irish Spirit" in us proud. Tempted to travel to Goulburn more often if nothing but for the pub and the great people who dwell there. Would recommend for anyone who hates what pub culture has turned into today. Second only to the Irish Pubs themselves.

Cozy little pub, simple with excellent small town service. Meals were okay, filled a void. Enjoyed having a few beers here.

Was a pleasant place to stay nothing a bit of maintance and a coat of paint

It is a very simple menu executed to perfection. Everyone in the group got a different meal and we were all very happy. Moreover, the drinks menu - especially the wine - was excellent 👌 definitely will eat here next time I'm in town!

From the first phone contact with Trish continuing until we had finished our meal and left the premises the service was perfect. Great menu options and meal was delicious. We were a group of 13. The service was friendly and curtious by all members of staff. Those attending to us as also other members attending outside tasks

Chips made in-house from fresh potatoes with skins on! Sweet and full of natural flavour! Keep it up! Damn good steak too. The salad could do with a bit more than 2 pieces of torn off oak-leaf lettuce and 2 shreds of carrot - bit of work needed there. Pleasant old-fashioned railway pub ambience.

Kids menu food was very tasty and well presented. I ordered fish pie from specials board, sadly it was just a runny boiling hot broth on top with cold gelatinous lumps underneath. It had obviously been microwaved, probably from frozen. No pastry or bread provided. For $29, it was disappointing.

It's a bit outdated, the photos I've seen for this place only shows the good parts. The rest is quite cramped, bit dark and dingy. There's a difference between heritage and run down. Just really a place for drunks and loud mouthed traidies. The food and service however are very redeeming, beautiful full sized Aussie pub food, inexpensive. worth it for that.

Massive portion sizes, amazing service, cozy and relaxed. Lunchtime special of lamb chops for $15 were amazing! Do yourself a favour - have a feed before catching the train.. Worth a weekend drive from Gungahlin or North Canberra if you're feeling adventurous.

Just stopped in for lunch and was lovely! My steak was overcooked so they were lovely enough to take it back. Got it back as requested and it was divine! The hotel itself has beautiful decor too. Will happily stop back through again!
