Nice pub, friendly staff, good beer, but my god the music. Bland, MOR musak pumped loudly out of every corner of the upstairs bar and balcony. The only relief is the planes overhead when they drown it out. Please turn it off or down or at least turn off some speakers so people who don’t share your godawful taste can drink in peace. Otherwise, nice pub.

Lovely local pub with a fantastic balcony for outdoor dining 🍻 Good food, great drinks, HEAPS of space. Good for a group gathering. Best seating is upstairs, not wheelchair-accessible.

This was on opening a fantastic venue to come for food and atmosphere. After many years I’ve kept trying but today has got to be the cut off. Food abysmal, service not bad, atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon, non existent. Such a wonderful location and failing badly

What a cracking pub! Haven’t been there since the late 90’s and early 2000’s It was our mid week “Wednesday Pub Date” so a bit quiet. It was also a 37*C day Food was fantastic. $1 wings for entree - tick Parmy for me - tick Jerked chicken for the wife - tick (something different) Cold pints Balter XPA - tick Pub is lovely. Lots of different places to sit. Decor is wonderful. Here we were thinking “let’s go to somewhere close just to beat the heat” and we scored a jackpot! Definitely be going back Sorry - have to add, your staff are first class

My favorite restaurant in the area 🤗 ideal to go with the family on a Sunday. The Sunday menu is something special. And the Margaritas are delicious. Perfect attention and fast to serve. And if you go in the afternoons you will see some beautiful sunsets.
