Northern Star Hotel

Northern Star Hotel, Hamilton
  Date: September 30th, 2018
  Price: $26
  Type: According to the menu this is the “Byron Bay Berkshire Pork Loin with Crisp Slaw Schnitzel”
  With: chips, coleslaw, apple sauce

Without tasting it,  do you think it’d be worth $26? I mean, the words on the menu make it sound pretty fancy, but really its just a pork schnitzel with chips and coleslaw. It tasted fine, but not $26 fine. And apple sauce with a schnitzel? No thanks. That remained untouched.
Chips: good.
Stains on the cushions: substantial.
Nice to see the Northern Star hasnt changed since i used to go there, for the sole purpose of drinking too much, in 1822.
Also... is it an irish pub or not? Their website does say that “in 2000 the hotel was used by the Irish Olympic team for meals and soft drinks”. I hope they didn’t try the schnitzel... unless the irish government was picking up the tab.

Also.... They were trying to pass “irish viagra” off as thought its an actual thing.
