I first learned the song from one of Slim Dusty's albums, but I always felt it cried out for a regularly repeated chorus. I remembered a sign I once saw in an old run-down gin mill (I think it was in Jersey) that said "There's no place like this place, any place around here. So this must be the place!" And that easily transformed into the following chorus sung to the last two lines of the regular verse basically:

There's no place like this place any place around here,
There's no place at all like a pub with no beer!"
