The George Harcourt Inn

The George Harcourt Inn sits on Gold Creek Road at Nicholls, in the Gold Creek tourist precinct on the outskirts of Canberra. A much-loved country-style pub, it's a genuine local fixture — combining a warm, characterful pub atmosphere with hearty food, good drinks and lovely garden surrounds, the kind of crowd-pleasing inn that's become a beloved spot for a meal or a relaxed afternoon.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, hearty food and drinks and a lovely, leafy setting in the Gold Creek precinct, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or a lazy afternoon in the garden. Its welcoming, country-inn character has made it a real favourite, and with the Gold Creek attractions close by, the George Harcourt has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,100 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a hearty meal, a drink or a relaxed afternoon in the garden, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the George Harcourt Inn near Gold Creek.
