About Main Hotel Bairnsdale

Main Hotel Bairnsdale turns out hearty country pub fare alongside vibrant, globe-trotting counter classics.

Spiced beef curry, zesty Asian noodle salads, and dedicated vegan plates share real estate on the pass. Pour a glass from the curated wine list or grab a cold Mr Finch cider at the bar.

  • Hearty Pub Standards: Thick chicken parmas, seared steaks, and crispy lamb anchor the generous bistro spread.
  • Eclectic Bistro Variety: Flavor-forward options range from beef curry and pepper squid to Asian noodle salad and vegan mains.
  • Cider & Wine List: Crisp Mr Finch cider and an accommodating wine selection round out the meal.
