Gov's Sports Bar - ROTTNEST ISLAND

Marlins restaurant is no longer, it is now Riva Restaurant and completely revamped with a new menu. Italian food.

The Rottnest Lodge provides a gorgeous combination of dining facilities, from a cocktail bar to Gov's Sports Bar and Marlin's fine dining restaurant; all

Chilled out place with good food. We got the recommendation from a Rottnest local and would agree it's good food and fun atmosphere. We chatted to Tom behind the bar and he gave more tips on things to do.

Dropped in for a few beers having heard that it was a 'sports bar". The ambience of the place certainly supports this and numerous screens show continuous different sports being played. A fair bit of sporting memorabilia adorns the walls. If you like a punt there are betting machines and live TV racing is shown. It has a 'good feel' to it and I would certainly return.

Rottnest can be a bit pricey at the best of times. In the off season it's no different. Chalk and cheese this is the best value for money. Not on the waterfront like some but well worth the extra few steps. Around the back of the lodge. Will be back.
