Nag's Head Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Kristi Klausen
The food is AMAZING! I can't wait to try everything in their menu, but today's curry, snitty and prawn pot were all simply delicious! Love the atmosphere there too, very spacious pub. Drinks as good as the food. Best Espresso Martini I have had in a very loooong time.
4 Star Review by Grant Freeman
Enjoyed a beer out in the afternoon sun. Tables well placed out the front, and bar staff was friendly. Unfortunately the new owners have removed the TAB- I can only guess to put in more pokies- shame. Overall, nice pub. Look forward to going back.

I have been coming to this pub for 30 years. This afternoon I had lunch and a few drinks. Prior to leaving I bought takeaway and asked for a quick shooter. A bailey s. I was so upset to think after all the money spent the dear kind man charged me 26 dollars for two shooters. No kindness for customers. And guys I am on machine dealing with cancer. What do regular customers get. No kindness. I will be trying other pubs. Because you want to feel they appreciate your custom.
2 Star Review by CJ Cooker
Not bad for a local pub, food is mediocre. Unfortunately, everytime we are there, enjoying our time on the lovely balcony, we are kicked off at 630pm because there is always a private function happening upstairs. Very frustrating as there is nowhere else to drink and smoke in the pub, forcing us to leave for the nearby Forest Lodge, where the food is way better and the smoking areas are plentiful.

Weve been going to eat at the Nags for years and it used to have quality food, but lately (Im presuming since new management) but over the last month its been very disappointing. My partner would always get the Nags famous pie but instead was served with an Australian bakery sized pie for a main meal, where the mash potatoes and peas were bigger than the pie. Clearly the new owners have no idea of how to run an inner city Sydney pub.
