Commercial Hotel Cygnet — Restaurant in Tasmania

We arrived in Cygnet mid week and were looking for a dinner option. Not many in Cygnet mid week but were advised to try the "bottom pub". A good call. The pub is very old fashioned which makes a great change from some of the sterile trendy bars most of us go to.
