DRIVING TO BARNEY'S AT POMONAL PHOTO'S\VIDEO & INFO

Barney's Bistro & Bar

New Year's drive to Barney's Rubble just outside of Pomonal on the Ararat to Halls Gap road. Barney's is now going by the name of Barney's Bistro & Bar. The drive was via Lake Fyans in a mustang GT. A short pleasant easy drive of five to ten minutes or so. Lake Fyans is a popular fishing and holiday destination with a large caravan resort park.

Barney's was untouched by the 2024 bushfires with lost housing in Pomonal. Barney's is generally open Friday to Sunday.

This particular time I was given a free cold beer on arrival. Thanks for the beer! Meals are hotel style.

From the rear dining area kangaroo's can be observed in the background grazing in paddocks. Between Barney's and the Grampian mountain ranges. Barney's Bistro & Bar has rear mountain and bushland views.

Friendly staff are on hand. Open weekends. Relaxed atmosphere. Quieter than nearby Halls Gap.

Pomonal

Located just a brief ten-minute drive away from the charming town of Halls Gap in Victoria, Pomonal stands as a quaint and picturesque community nestled on the outskirts of the renowned Grampians National Park. Despite its small size, Pomonal boasts a unique charm and a strong sense of community spirit. The village is home to essential amenities such as a general store, a school, a football oval, and a community hall, all of which serve as vital hubs for locals and visitors alike.

The heart of Pomonal lies within its one and only general store, which also conveniently doubles as a cafe. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by the warmth of a fireplace during the cooler months, creating a welcoming ambiance that encourages patrons to linger and savor the moment. The café offers an array of delicious snacks and beverages, making it the perfect spot to refuel after a day of exploring the natural wonders of the Grampians.

With ample seating available, visitors can relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere while enjoying a hot cup of coffee. The general store's rustic charm and friendly service add to the overall appeal of Pomonal, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of rural Australian life. Whether you're a local resident popping in for your morning coffee or a traveller passing through the area, Pomonal's general store and café provides a delightful experience that captures the essence of country living at its best.
