Silvertone Pub

Been to a good pub, or bad, lately? Found a bar with a great selection of beer? Looking for a new local or somewhere to visit on holidays?

It's on my list each time I go back to broken hill.

new managers are chris and jo.

the angry lady and old bloke and the horse that used to stick it's head in the door are gone, although I think the old duck still actually owns the place.

good prt about it now though is that there are rooms beside the beer garden, so you don't have to slum it, by chucking a swag out on the ground or drive all the way back into town ;)

We were there back in the late 80s on St Paddy's day and were drinking green beer and admiring the photos on the walls from all the movies that had been made there.

There were a couple of blokes in the bar crapping on about their shearing exploits. It was pretty obvious from their nice dark coloured Jackie Howes and clean boots and hats that they were city-slickers pretending.

The lady from the bar arrived behind them with a wheelbarrow and offered just for fun if anyone wanted a ride.
One of the blokes took the bait and sat in the barrow. She wheeled him outside and dumped in a nice fresh pile recently dropped there by that horse that looked in the window. Told him that was a fitting place for him.

We all laughed so much they got back in their nice clean Tojo and hi-tailed it.
