Food is decent. Good serving size and value for money. We had booked a table for Christmas Eve just cause it's central for my family and not too busy. Service was npc. What one would expect and nothing more. It's a pub so don't expect too much but I've scored it according to average pubs.

I had my 30th party at the National Secret venue. I had the best night! The staff was incredible, attentive and made the process seamless! They checked regularly to make sure everything was going to plan. Communication throughout the planning process was really good. The food was great! Sound system was great! You get a huge price venue for a very reasonable price. I would recommend this place to anyone. Big thank you to the Aussie Nash team for their amazing work!

If you’re looking for a pub that delivers every single time, The Nash is the place to be. Whether it’s your first visit or your regular haunt, you’re in for a treat. I’ve been coming here for years, and not once have I left without a smile (and maybe a little buzz). The star of the show? Bartender Scott. This guy’s got radar-like attentiveness and the kind of charm that turns a great night into a legendary one. Need a drink suggestion? He’s got you. Got a case of the hiccups? Scott’s your savior (seriously, don’t ask how, just trust). Bottom line: 5/5. Always. For the vibes, the service, and everything in between. Cheers to The Nash—your next favourite local!

Came for an footy event. Ordered drinks and snacks through the app on the table. Nothing for 15 min so headed to the bar to confirm they got the order. Rude girl behind the counter said that the printer was broken so no order. Showed her the receipts so she could make the drinks and she exclaimed ‘we don’t have Stella’ repeatedly until we selected another option. She explained that the menu app had not been updated in months. Oh sorry, with no signage not to use the app HOW WERE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW? No offer of refund for difference in drink price with the change. I tried to clarify if the food order would have been received and if we could cancel as time was now an issue. She said ‘yes obviously because the food order goes to the kitchen where they have a printer’. Tone to me was like I was a stupid stupid person. Not a fan. Waited another 15 minutes and then checked on our food again with a different, more helpful staff member. She couldn’t find our order and ended up refunding us.

FOOD & DRINK The Aussie Nash is part of the A.L.H. Group of Hotels, whose stable includes the Royal Exchange Hotel, the Brunswick, the Newstead, the Indooroopilly, Newmarket and many others in and around Brisbane. We‘ve been to most of them and have never failed to be impressed by the high standard of food, service and hygiene. The A.N. was no exception. My wife and I dined on a quiet Saturday night in November. We kept the ordering protocol fairly simple: a schooner of Great Northern Super Crisp for me and a lemon, lime and bitters for my wife, followed by two main meals, the senior steak with chips, salad and pepper sauce ($19) and the Buddha bowl with lemon and pepper flavoured calamari for my wife ($28). My steak was well cooked to perfection, just the way I like it, but still tender and full of flavour. The crispy chips and nutritious salad made the perfect accompaniment. The Buddha bowl had rice, seaweed, avocado, cucumber, tomato, vegetables and lettuce, and topped with a soy and sesame dressing. All the ingredients were fresh, tasty and wholesome. Adding the calamari was a genius move to give it an extra zing and lift. We ended with our fav sticky date pud at 10 pesos. The pud was sweet and moist, covered with a syrupy butterscotch sauce, and sprinkled with a few drops of castor sugar. All meals were nicely presented to the table on stylish and colourful crockery. AMBIENCE The A.N. is airy, spacious and homely, with plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable. Outside the bistro is the billiards area, and there’s also a pub and a poker machine room, so there are many different spaces here to enjoy. We stuck to the bistro area. The decor is retro industrial style, with high ceilings, strong lighting, wood and steel furniture and carpets throughout. This all works beautifully to create an inviting, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Being a quiet night, there was only a smattering of other guests, but that didn’t detract from the overall cool ambience. Acoustics were good and we were easily able to converse. SERVICE It was a breeze to order using the app. You simply scan the little barcode that’s attached to a disc on your table, and place your order. Payment is done immediately, and you’ll receive an email of your bill. This simplifies the whole procedure, although only afterwards did I notice that seniors are entitled to 20% discount off regular menu items, but of course the app didn’t recognise that, so we lost out. After completing the ordering, meals were brought out to the table pretty quickly by a super nice young man, neatly turned out in a smart black uniform. He was polite, friendly and attentive, and in his capable hands, everything ran smoothly from beginning to end, and that’s just how we like it! COST All up, for a schooner of Great Northern, a cold drink, two main meals and a single dessert we paid 70 pesos, so thank you to the A.L.H. Group for at least providing some financial relief to hard-pressed senior citizens. This at least is an affordable evening out for us, and it’s worth mentioning here, that most of the A.L.H. group hotels that we’ve visited have seniors menus and modest prices for both food and drink. TOILETS Toilets are behind the bistro. There are ample male and female cubicles, and they’re clean and well provisioned, although I did notice some graffiti in the male toilet. PARKING There’s easy parking right outside, in the venue’s own car park, which it shares with the popular and well-stocked Dan Murphy liquor store. This makes it extra convenient, especially if you’re still thirsty after your meal, as you can always pop into D.M. to top up the beer or wine cellar. SUMMARY We love the A.L.H. Hotel Group and have had positive experiences at all their hotels. They have consistently high standards, with reasonable prices to match. The Aust Nash as it is affectionately called, now goes on our list of favourites for a return visit. With great food and service, modest prices, a relaxed ambience, clean toilets and easy parking, you have all the ingredients for a perfect night out.
