Same Old Vic, Brand New Bar

15 April, 2015 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

From stained glass windows to tall ceilings and wooden floors, the family owned and operated Old Vic Inn has a familiar heritage charm, and for the first time in nearly fifty years, the hotel is now serving beer on tap.
When the Old Vic Inn originally closed its doors in 1967, it was reopened two years later as a convalescent home, which then closed down in 1995. Since coming into ownership in 2003, the Beasley family have refurbished many of the facilities while maintaining its value as a historical hotel with all the modern and convenient trimmings.
A new bar has been built and installed in the old pub, featuring a modern security shutter and a custom-made stained glass window which adds to the ambience of the room. It will also provide a drink service to outdoor diners, while the restaurant is being extended to accommodate larger groups of up to a hundred people.
Best of all, patrons will now be able to enjoy a drink, a touch of history and the rustic atmosphere of the Old Vic Inn without the requirement of ordering a meal or hiring a room.
