5 Star Review by Daniel Hynes
A very spacious place, good for a drink and a bite to eat, my first time here and the service was excellent.
1 Star Review by Dianna Taylor
The food was poor when we went on Saturday night 17/09/2022. The steak ordered as medium to well done came out as rare. The bowl of chips were cold and could not be eaten. The other meal that was ordered was given to us first and the rest of the order we had to wait. Really poor food and service
4 Star Review by Serene Johnson
Had our work Christmas party here. Free barefoot bowling, drinks on the green, dinner after. There was a bit of broken glass on the green (not by us) so I recommend soft flats rather than barefoot but all in all a great evening!

Dear Diarywhere can I begin to describe my food adventure at Club Charlestown. Disappointing is barely even descriptive enough to provide an overview of this pubs fare. A simple schnitzel destroyed by the worst tasting out of a box gravy I have ever tasted. It was reminiscent of burnt Vegemite strained through a dirty sock and made whatever happen to be in contact with it completely inedible. Im not sure where the chef at this venue got his certificate to state he could cook or even if they bothered to ask when they let him loose in the kitchen. Whoever was on the fryer did ok with everything the appropriate colour but oh my dear lord help me try and forget that gravy. The calamari was tasteless and similarly out of a box, probably alongside the gravy and I have serious doubts as to whether it was even a creature of the sea at one point. The tartare sauce which I thought might save the tasteless circles of horror did not, it too tasted like a mayonnaise bath with no flavour. I then went on to attempt a third dish, because, wellI was hungry and really quite desperate. Satay skewers.would they be the hero? You know what, to my greatest surprise! They werent. Not even a little bit. I think the only spice that cook knows how to wield is chilli powder and the fact he dried the ever loving life out of those poor small skewers didnt add any joy to it either. So, that being said, although it pains me to say, maccas is a better option than the food here. Maybe eat there first. Beers cold though :)
