I hosted a large event in their downstairs space at the end of last year. I’ve organised many large groups across various venues before. Penny’s was probably one of the easiest to organise. Low fuss, big delivery. The space was fantastic. A few different nooks and crannies too. A mix of bar tables and tall chairs but lounge areas too. Bar staff were also great. It was a gamble not having seen the venue since renovation but it was better than expected. Special thank you to Tayla who communicated quickly and clearly. They really made it all feel so seamless. Highly recommend this pub for a casual drop in but also for a venue hire space.

Our Saturday evening at Penny’s was so much fun! The $15 cocktails were a hit and the food was such good value for the area! Not to mention the live music was such a great addition to the venue! We would definitely come back again!!

Unfortunately, our experience at Penny’s Hotel was a real letdown. We came in expecting a decent pub dinner, but left disappointed on almost every level. The food was underwhelming across the board. The Caesar salad was bland and barely had any dressing, the garlic bread was dry and flavorless, and the so-called “crispy” kipfler potatoes were soggy, dry, and didn’t even seem like real kipflers. Everything lacked care and flavour. To top it off, the music was way too loud for a 7pm dinner. I understand pubs get noisy, but this felt more like a late-night gig than a relaxed evening meal. Service was patchy and not particularly welcoming. We won’t be back. There are too many better options nearby to settle for a place that misses the mark this badly.

Had an office celebration here and it was a great experience. The staff are kind and welcoming, which really added to the vibe. The place has a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy. Beer selection was great, and you can also enjoy live music! They even have a pokies area if you feel like trying your luck.Overall, a perfect spot for a relaxed and enjoyable time. Highly recommend!

We have been coming here for decades through all the different phases of the hotel and the food is probably at the best it has been. The menu is varied with different styles of food. We tried the dumplings which were fabulous and full of flavour. The potato scallops which took me back to my youth in a good way. The lamb skewers, steak and Caesar salad for mains, all were good. Don’t forget to try one of their cocktails as they are yummy. We will definitely be back to try some more of the menu as everything we tried was so good.
