Great local pub with an awesome outdoor area
The Highway is an awesome local pub with great bars, good drink specials and an awesome outdoor area. Perfect place to watch the footy on the outdoor big screen, especially when the Crows beat Richmond. The atmosphere is always awesome and lighting creates a great vibe.
