Play Pokies at Hotel Spencer in Whyalla

Do not recommend this place at all.
We are travelling Australia and like most travelling Aussie have dogs, (small very well behaved dogs).
We asked if we could have them in the beer garden & were told yes. Went around to the beer garden, sat down & ordered & paid for drinks (we were just about to order food). We didn't even get 2 sips into our drinks to be told we had to leave as it was their policy not to have dogs in their garden.
Given that there was only 1 person in the whole pub (inside or out beside us), they could have at least let us finish our drinks before we left.

The service could not fault. As an ex cook who rates a good old fashion Parmy. I gave my beef Parmy 10/10. I am definitely going back again

Went for lunch today. Used to be my place to hangout so to speak 40ish years ago, so I was keen to see how much it had changed.
It is a lot quieter than it used to be, the old bar we drank is closed down. But the atmosphere is still warm and friendly, the music is still tops.
The lunch menu is very limited but it was very nice, everything was cooked just right.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back for sure.

Went there for lunch with family, good feed and good price

I would say one of the worst pubs we have visited on our travels and we have travelled over 3 quarters of Australia, encountering some awesome pubs along the way. Maybe if the staff were a bit more friendly and welcoming, it would have been an okay experience.
