"You don't visit Newcastle without popping your head into Corey Crook’s veritable wonderland of all things great about Australian beer, hence the reason why the pub is always throbbing in the tourist season. Ironically occupying an old warehouse that was built by Tooheys Brewery in 1885 as a grain and keg storage facility, it boasts 21 taps featuring 100 percent independently-owned and 100 percent Australian-brewed craft beers, ensuring there's not a Tooheys beer in sight. With the Grain Store, you truly do not know what to expect when you walk in; time it right (or wrong if they're not your bag) and you might find Corey running one of his IPA days where all 21 taps pour nothing but IPA."

This place boasts a beautiful Art Deco front bar, built around the 1930s, with the original tiles continuing their unique lines up the wall and a bar that runs the length of the hotel.
