At a place called the “Downtown Bar,” Bob took a lot of photos, as it was an interesting place.

A wide variety of New Zealand beers were on tap.

Bob’s beer sits near a silver-painted steer head.

The HQ Bar had a nice television set over a fireplace.

Some decent pool tables were ready for action.

The lake was just a few yards from the HQ Bar.

The Trout Bar was also very well decorated—and clean.

The Trout Bar had some nice photos and a pretty eating area.

A variety of beer on tap (above) and some nice posters (below).

Note the Russell ownership of the hotel (a huge poster on the wall of the bar). Bob had a dark Monteith’s beer from the large selection to the right.
