I've always wanted to go into the Hawthorn Hotel, I've seen some negative reviews regarding food and service, but I wanted to try it for myself. I had a really pleasant time there, I had a lovely young lad bringing my drinks out to me, he was really lovely and always had a smile on his face! I didnt realise that cocktail hour stops at 9:30 (roughly around that time, cant remember exactly) I went upto the bar and they were even nice enough to make me some cocktails a few minutes past which was awesome! The food was good and it was overall a really nice meal and night! So I'm not quite sure about the negative reviews and why people have had such bad experiences? The place was clean, give it being busy for parma and trivia night. Overall a really good job, thanks Hawthorn Hotel 🥂

Drinks amazing prices on Tuesdays but if u too old stay away don’t be a creep. Music good, if u forget id they are nice. Security 10/10 but also strict. Bartender service pretty good for how busy it gets

Have not dined in here since before COVID. Not overly busy Saturday night. Security barking rudely to see ID on entry (no issues good RSA) whilst swigging around a drink in his mouth and wearing Everlast jacket. Other security guard on side entry leaning on table yawning in his baseball cap. Got the Thousand Guineas Porterhouse - gristly and definitely not worth the $45. Only about half was edible at medium/rare. Gravy was amazing. Chips good. Salad is lettuce leaves, onion and cucumber. Originally sat down at table on carpet area but very strong smell of vomit. Moved tables. Three kids were running amuck doing laps of the dining room, crawling and screaming - surprised they did not bowl over a customer. The young female waiter bringing out food was delightful. Smile and friendly and saved this place from a one star review.

We came here for dinner with our family on a Saturday night. Booking was done on-line so it was pretty easy. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. The music can be a bit loud if you are sitting in front of the guitarist. If you want to talk, probably better to sit in another part of the restaurant. Plenty of choices for beers on tap. Food choices are limited but the serving size is not bad (see pictures). The taste is so so although I did like the risotto.

My favourite pub. Excellent atmosphere, great service and friendly staff. I can’t recall his name, but the guy who serves is just amazing. He provides excellent customer service and constantly checks in on me to make sure I am enjoying my time. I think part of the reason why I love this place so much is due to his impeccable customer service. I love eating at this spot, as the food is so delicious and the vibes are immaculate. My favourite dish is the roast beef paired with jus served with slaw and corn. Unbelievably filling and delicious. Again, I absolutely love the Hawthorn Hotel and it is my absolute favourite pub.
