Royal Oak Hotel DOUBLE BAY reviews
4 Star Review by Chloe S
Visited for a drink in the Downstairs pub, good atmosphere a wide variety of people in there socialising. Also popped upstairs to the Lounge/Rooftop bar - a great space if you want DJ loud music and a club style dance more suited to younger generations
5 Star Review by YA BOI
Attended the Oak for drinks with my work colleagues at the upstairs bar, and was constantly provided with some of the best beers in regards to the perfect head by one of the bartenders named Elfie i think. Had such a fun night and was looked after by the staff and managers and even managed to get on the dance floor!

My wife and I were on our way from Bellevue Hill to our home in Bowral and called in for a quick bite. Angel Hair pasta was delicious while the steak sandwich was the best I had eaten anywhere. Congratulations to your chefs, wonderful place!

Love the bar staff here. They make me feel welcome everytime I see them. They're like family to us locals! Only bad thing I have to say is that the sugar free coke on tap sucks lol
1 Star Review by Eliza Rose
My friend and I ate at the Royal Oak Double Bay for lunch on the 24th, I had the Nachos with meat and my friend had the nachos with beans. 6 hours later we were both nauseous and had the worst headaches. I had the worst case of food poisoning and my friend was very sick too. I was unwell for about 2 days after, unable to really eat, constant throwing up and going bathroom, and super dehydrated. I understand things can be over looked, and I was never angry. I am although concerned with inability to get in contact with them, I called on the Sunday, and I also messaged their instagram, to let them know about what had happened and for them to check the quality of their dairy. I followed up a couple of days later with a comment on a picture pointing them in the direction of their DMs. I still have no heard back, and had no call back, and my stomach is still churning and I have to watch what I eat.

Loved it. Came really late after long drive and it was welcoming and rewarding. Not too pricey so that was a bonus.

This place was busy on arrival with locals and visitors, obviously a hub of couples, families and friends meeting to enjoy a few drinks and some good food. The staff were friendly and attentive with colouring for the kids, the food was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxed meal.
