Reviews for Brighton Beach Hotel VIC
Alireza Cheshmeh
Visited the Brighton Beach Hotel and had an overall pleasant experience. The venue has a great atmosphere and a relaxed seaside vibe, making it a nice place to enjoy a meal. The steak was cooked well, however the vegetables served with it were mashed and a little bland, which took away slightly from the dish. That said, the meal overall was still enjoyable. Service was good and the setting makes up for the small food details. Overall, a decent experience and a nice spot to visit, with room for minor improvements.

Great place to catch up! The view is stunning, especially at sunset. Photos are from two dinners (Aug 2025, Oct 2025). Group of 5. Service is very friendly and helpful, especially when ordering at the bar. Beer garden is our favourite.

Second time I’ve eaten here. This time was much better! Decided to get a streak sandwich and hamburger, both fabulous. Served up with a generous side of fries. Service was very friendly and the meals arrived quickly.

i ordered bruschetta - on the menu it says it has onion and basil but it didn’t, usually i wouldn’t mind but i’ve been here in the past and ordered arancini and it came out frozen!! I have also had 2 dodgy parmas …. again i wouldn’t usually write a review except tonight waiting an hour for my average bruschetta and i feel this can only be because i hear the staff turn around is very high But i find the management and treatment of staff concerning and distasteful , a beautiful pub like this could be unreal i really hope it gets better in the new year because it’s a great spot 😊

What a huge mistake. Waited over an hour for some very average overpriced food for family. Starters didn't turn up. Asked staff to chase up and only half arrived. Super bad service grossly understaffed, poor planning on a busy afternoon. The gave us a free drink after some honest feedback.. but they took 15 minutes! THEY NEED TO DO A LOT BETTER and Clearly we did not feel welcome. Better options along the beach... don't waste your time and money.
