Reviews for Garden State Hotel

Needed a bite in the city, so dropped in. The door security were super friendly and inviting. It’s mostly counter service so you need to either QR or bar service. But anyone else that came to our table was super friendly. They had a great band on (well 2 piece band), but the acoustics are tricky in there, so it was hard to talk and catch up properly. Perhaps because it wasn’t super busy to absorb the sound. Food was GREAT. Not a huge dish and pricey, but JUST enough.

We dropped by Garden State Hotel on a Monday night and loved its relaxed vibes. Our visit was even more enjoyable as we managed to snag a cozy table next to the fireplace. They boast an impressive selection of cocktails, and I am a fan of its gin-based drinks. We ordered the Southern Fried Chicken and Salt & Pepper Calamari, which were full of flavour and great for sharing. It's a great spot for after-work drinks with its convenient CBD location and buzzing atmosphere on Friday nights.

My friends and I came to Garden State last night for a birthday and had a great night! The entry process was smooth and efficient, with the line moving quickly and the security staff being polite and friendly made a great first impression! The music was fantastic, setting the tone for a lively and energetic atmosphere. The vibe throughout the venue was electric but also welcoming, creating an environment where I felt relaxed and safe the entire time. It was fun, well-organized, and comfortable. I’ll definitely consider another night out soon!

I had an event with some friends here recently and everything was amazing. From food, to the venue, to the staff it all went smoothly and we couldn't have been happier with this amazing picturesque location.

We had our post-wedding dinner at the Garden State Hotel, and it was truly exceptional! The food was outstanding, with plenty for everyone to enjoy, and everyone couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. A special thank you to Milly, our host—she was fantastic! So attentive and warm, making sure everything ran smoothly. We’re grateful for such a memorable evening. Thank you :)
