So the first Mariners
home match for the new season is over for the afternoon and they've
won in an extraordinary fashion against their local rivals the Jets.
A few celebratory drinks are in order. Why not a mini pub crawl?
We'll start at the leagues club and work our way down to the station
where we can catch the #37 bus home.
Of course, at some point, we're going to need something to eat. Leagues Club? Nope, currently too busy. Gosford Hotel? We'll be there Tuesday for trivia. Railway Hotel? We haven't eaten there yet, so why not?
I have been there a couple of times before, the more recent visit was the night of the home grand final against Melbourne Victory in May 2024. It was absolutely packed. This time it's around 7pm on a Sunday so it's considerably quieter. When I first went there I felt I was walking into the set of a noir film, right when a deal was being made between rival cartels and just before a badge gets flashed and all hell breaks loose. Gees my imagination gets the best of me sometimes... lol It's right in the centre of the Gosford CBD at the bottom of one of the more recent tower additions, right where Dutton's Tavern used to be.
But it's rather nice. Cosy even. Though it is primarily a steakhouse, there are plenty of other options on the menu. One goes for the steak and guiness pie, another for the classic chicken schnitzel, and seeing I'm in the mood for a burger, I take the crispy chicken option. All are served with chips with an option for salad, gravy and sauce. All items are over $25, which is pretty much par for the course in pubs and clubs these days around here.

It was a short but good evening out. Most importantly, we started the new season with a win. Cheers!
