It’s the little things. Came for the Tuesday night steak special. It was tasty and okay. But cool to cold by the time it got to me. I also ordered onion rings and asked for a side of chilli sauce. Siracha or similar. For the privilege of a squirt of chilli sauce the apologetic wait staff said they would have to charge extra. I said not to bother. First time for me for a bit of chilli. For a special, there are better deals who do the little things better.

Came in for a few drinks and a meal with my daugher, it wasnt busy but still seemed under staffed. My daughter got her $30 burger never got her ketchup as requested, which i reminded the staff twice. Small point but if the kids are only eating because they are hungry and not enjoing the food then why bother.. To be honest though the burger cound be a lot better too for the price. Its a great spot but they need to consider the customers requests.

Great bar, ideal for kids cause it’s so big! The staff were so lovely! Really helpful seating us at a decent table that fit a pram. Lots of beers on tap and food was good. Relaxed atmosphere Defo be back

Omg I had the best experience with Kate, she made my divorce party the best experience I have ever had. She definitely deserves a raise, what an amazing girl thank you for the service. Kate love you so much!

Hard not to stop, harder to not stay. Broad, long bar and resto with stylish lines and warm, dark colours with subdued lighting. I was here at 5pm on a Friday - my 55th birthday - and it was prolly ⅓ full. I suspect that had hung around even an hour more, there'd be many more folk in. I only stayed for one beer - a pint handle of Asahi ($15) - then skedaddled. I stood in the front bar with my handle admiring the matchbooks under the glass. Copper beer stills (stills?) at the end there hanging from the ceiling. I didn't get about the rest of the place as it was either busy, tabled or restricted for those eating.
