Enjoy views of the dramatic colour-changing backdrop of the park and watch wildlife wander by. We have four separate spaces inside and plenty of outside dining under our verandahs or sail too. Dog-friendly outside and their drinks are free! Check Barney's opening times on Facebook or Google. Generally, we are open Wednesday & Thursday from 4pm until late, for evening meals & drinks. Friday - Sunday from 11am until late, for lunch, dinner & drinks. Kitchen times are usually: 11am - 2pm and 5 - 8pm. Barney's actual closing time varies and depends on customers, so call us if you would like to come for a drink after 9pm and we can give you an estimate of our closing time. Special occasions can sometimes be booked for outside of these times, so it is worth asking and therefore these days/hours may be extended. Bookings/enquiries (we love it when people ask us questions and/or book): Phone or text 0419505025. Tell us: your preferred date, time, number of people for adult meals, number of children for children's meals and number of children needing a high chair. We also need to know if you would like to sit outside. (eg Outside, 6A + 4C including 2HC = 10 people). Also discuss dietary needs eg food intolerances, vegan etc. We look forward to seeing you at Barney's.

This is what we mean when we say "refuel".

No tiny portions.

No food you need an instruction manual to eat.

Just hearty, honest bistro fare.

The sort of meal that hits the spot after a day on the trails...

Or, let's be real, after a day doing absolutely none of that. 😉

Good food doesn't need to be complicated. Book a table and choose your fav 🍽️

See you then
