Old Bank Restaurant and Bar Dubbo
Looking for somewhere to have dinner in Dubbo, we found the Old Bank Restaurant not far from our hotel. Located in Macquarie Street, and completed in 1876 the building operated as a bank until 1921. From then it passed through several owners including the RSL, council and police, before being purchased by the current owners in 2012.
We did not have a booking but were lucky there were tables still available. People arriving after us were turned away because it is very popular. So, if you want to eat here, book ahead.
While there, have a look at the decorations on the walls, including old photos and a great collection of guitars.
Dining in an old heritage building was nice, with the old fixtures and wooden floors. We ate in the boardroom, which is one of six areas available. The bar served a nice range of beers and ciders, so we enjoyed a few pre-dinner drinks before eating.
We ordered the lamb rump, which arrived on a huge plate, looking fantastic. A great meal in a wonderful environment, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Houses with long verandas. Was it a bank before and remodeled into a restaurant? Look similar to those banks in the movies of an old Western town in California.
Yes, this was originally a bank. The veranda helps keep the building cool
