This great entertainment facility is a secret just waiting to be discovered!

Fibber MaGee or "Fibbers" as it is affectionately known, is an Irish hotel located in the main street of Gawler. It features a superb dining room, alfresco cafe, gift shop and upstairs retro lounge bar. Fibbers certainly has something for everyone!

Enjoy the best food in town at this family friendly no-pokies Irish hotel. Relax in the front bar with a drink then move to the magnificent dining room with all the Irish trimmings! Alternatively you can dine alfresco along delightful "Molly's Lane". Enjoy the peaceful surrounds, fresh air and the sounds of trickling water while you dine in blissful ambience.

Try the grilled lemon pepper snapper fillets served with chips and salad or how about the Reef and Beef - creamy garlic prawns on beef sirloin cooked to your liking?

For something a little lighter you can enjoy an antipasto platter featuring double smoked ham, prosciutto, roasted vegetables, olives, feta, Grissini and fresh pesto; or a pan-tossed chicken and bacon salad.

Baguettes and sandwiches are also popular and feature a range of delicious fillings including prawns and avocado, smoked salmon, double smoked ham, bacon, steak and vegetarian delights.

During the evenings the upstairs lounge bar comes alive. Head back to the swinging 60s in one of the four retro rooms featuring a groovy decor, funky lounge chairs and one of the coolest atmospheres you're likely to experience in a bar.

Play chess while downing Harvey Wallbangers. Sip on a Fluffy Duck and waltz around the rooms checking out the posters including the Happy Days poster signed by Henry Winkler himself! Or put your dancing shoes on and jive away to the tunes of John Lee Hooker, Chubby Checker and The Beatles.

Also within the Fibber facility is The Flower Wagon, a well established florist stocking superb flower arrangements and stunning gifts for all occasions. Make sure you take a look as part of your Fibbers experience!

With so much to see and enjoy don't miss Fibber MaGee the next time you're in the Barossa district. It's a unique venue that guarantees a good time for all the family!
