A short stroll from Jubilee Park, on lively Wood Street Mackay is The Paddock & Brew Company, smoke house restaurant and craft beer bar. An industrial, yet warm interior evokes generosity from the well-stocked bar to the round table designs that depict full glasses of wine, beer and the cuts of meat on offer. Crowds of locals and politicians alike enjoy the American style 16 - 24 hour slow cooked meats, created in a process that features seasonal and locally sourced ingredients like apple and stone fruit wood chips for smoking. Perhaps investigate the monster burger with a craft beer for moral support, before the trio of desserts including sticky date pudding, cherry ripe slice and the piece de resistance, a beer and bacon brownie. Apple pie Ole Smoky Moonshine is also a favourite.
