Our favourite neighbourhood pub! We love the food, the atmosphere, and the always-friendly staff. We were really impressed with yesterday’s events — we came for the Sicilian buffet lunch and returned later for the storytelling night. The venue is fantastic, with lots of different spaces to suit any occasion, big or small, formal or casual. Thank you, Grace Darling, for curating such a great experience and looking after so many of us. 🙏
Great Collingwood iconic pub. Extra points for having pots, schooners and pints. Burger was delicious. Staff super friendly. Good tunes and vibes. Great spot, love coming here.
I chose the Atrium with Grace Darling to host an engagement get together with 40ish friends and family. We ordered a grazing table which was fantastic and the team took care to cater to my coelliac dietary needs. The venue, food, and drink selection were all a hit and we got so many compliments! I can’t recommend booking with Grace Darling enough. The team was so thoughtful and easy to work with. Kudos!!
Had a fantastic Saturday afternoon at The Grace Darling Hotel in Collingwood. Loved relaxing on one of their comfy couches by the fire — perfect atmosphere for a laid-back weekend. The Guinness was spot on, and the house rosé was crisp, dry, and surprisingly good. Absolute highlight though: the hand-cut hot chips — perfectly cooked, golden, and finished with the most addictive salt. Great spot for a casual drink and snack with friends, with a cozy heritage pub vibe that makes you want to stay all afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone after good drinks, great food, and classic Collingwood grunge where anything goes. Check out videos for function areas where they have live bands.
Got a porterhouse steak - it was good but the service was dreadfully slow and the entire dining area was extremely loud and it was difficult to hear. I came in through the front door but no one came to greet me and even when the wait staff did see me, refused to come and serve me until I had to find myself an empty table and flag one of them down. Took ages for me to get their attention. Would not come back again, disappointing!
