This corner site in a beachside suburb has reinterpreted the local boozer with a lighter, brighter tone, with food and drink far slicker than your average.
What is a pub, anyway? If we’re only talking public houses in the traditional sense, then The Corner Dairy, occupying a former office block in beachy Doubleview, definitely doesn’t come close. But if we’re talking community spirit, cold beers, cricket on the screens, handsome wood finishes and the warm hum of conversation, this place absolutely nails it. What’s more, the taps are piped edge to edge with crafts vying for your attention, from tropical Bright Tank Northern IPA through to Rocky Ridge’s blackberry, cherry and vanilla Yasss Queen Sour. Wine? Short, sharp and lo-fi. Food? A level up, whether it’s brioche toasts piped with sweet chicken-liver parfait or a kangaroo burger with edge from bush tomato kasundi. The chips are crunchy, the terrace catches the sun and the breeze, and the coffee window is open daily, rocking seasonal specialty brews and epic toasties. Can your local do that?
