Family Hotel Newcastle reviews
4 Star Review by David Wnek
A local establishment, The Family Hotel serves reliable, decent food and a bewildering array of alcohols in more combinations than you can shake a stick at. The atmosphere does trend heavily towards being for students, but it's a lively place with positive energy, though the tables seem to be perpetually sticky.
5 Star Review by wendigoslaughter
Love the vibe of this place, friendly staff and delicious food. Southerner Tacos are a must in my opinion.
5 Star Review by Max Ventura
Moonie is such a good bartender. He is literally the shining star of The Family. Ive never been so impressed by a bartender. Great pub. 10 out of 10. Dont miss it if youre in Newcastle.
4 Star Review by Wil Davies
A great little hotel for something different!!! Good beer selection of well known brews to obscure imports, plus a fabulous menu which caters for all. There's no pokies anywhere to be seen, so having a conversation with man's best friend is in order, because you can bring your dog along...what's crazier...playing pokies or talking to your dog?!?! Variety of specials racked up daily from the kitchen and bar, plus a weekly dose of trivia and special music nights to entertain. Well worth the visit if you're in the area. A wonderful place to relax with a brew and your pooch.
5 Star Review by James Boags
Greasers is the perfect meal for family or after a beer or two. Friendly staff, everything is vegan, very much pub decor from the 80s and 90s but they revel in it.
