Town Hall Hotel reviews

5 Star Review by Ashley Egan

We had a function at Town Hall on Saturday afternoon and it was perfect. Nikki and her team were so attentive. We couldn't fault anything. Food was delicious and definitely the best value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to book my next function here! Thanks Town Hall for making it so easy.

5 Star Review by Brett Strauss

Recently came in for dinner and drinks on a Friday night and ended up staying late into the night!!! The food is some of the best I've eaten in Balmain and the live music is such a nice touch. The whole pub was singing along, it was such a great atmosphere. Staff were great too..!

4 Star Review by Alice Anderson

A really nice pub in balmain with heaps of seating and a huge wrap around balcony. Drinks and food are very reasonable prices with lots of choice. A good place for a group and you can book tables and rooms. The downsides are some of the chairs were a bit low and the toilets weren't clean but I've seen worse!

5 Star Review by Edwin

Friendly staff fill this classic building. Take a seat on the balcony and enjoy the view out over the harbour, towards the city. Drinks prices are great, and there's a decent range too. Food is great and reasonably priced as well.

4 Star Review by Nicholas Frame

Good little pub, the upstairs balcony is particularly nice when the sun is out. Food consists of your basic pub fare, nothing special though it is consistently good. Could do with a broader selection of beers.
