Came here last weekend with friends to watch the All-Ireland final, which started at 00:30. We arrived early at 7:00pm to secure a good seat and table, which we did. Around 8:00pm, we noticed staff relocating the people sitting in front of us. Just to be safe, we asked three different staff members if we also needed to move. Each of them reassured us that we were fine where we were and wouldn’t be asked to move later. We even said we were happy to move then if needed, as other seats were still available — but again, we were told it wasn’t necessary. Fast forward a few hours, and just as the place started getting busy and we had received our food, security came over and told us we had to move immediately, as per management. We explained that we’d been there since 7:00pm and had checked with multiple staff earlier, but they didn’t seem to care. Meanwhile, the people in front of us (who had only arrived about an hour earlier) weren’t told to move at all. We were relocated to a tiny table where only three of our friends could sit, and by the time we moved everything over, our food was cold and the atmosphere was completely ruined. Overall, a terrible experience. There was clearly zero communication between staff, and it made us feel disrespected and frustrated.

Fantastic experience all round. Staff were friendly with great service, food was quick and delicious and the band was so on point with great classics being played the whole time. S&P squid was tender not rubbery at all, perfectly seasoned and generous diping sauce. Apple crumble the perfect light desert, not too sweet at all. Sticky date pudding had great consistency, moisture and flavour. Ideally a more even ratio of iceream to cake. Sauce was perfect 👌

Been here a couple times whenever I’m around Sydney, and their food is perfectly done every time! It never disappoints me. Their beef steaks are absolutely worth to have, also their beef burger as well! Decent pricing and quality food. Free seatings within the bar and live band are on the weekend.
