Queens Wharf Brewery Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Google Lum
Came here on Labour Day. Had a pizza and seafood tower. Food is ok. Was informed that the wait for food can be up to an hour, and that was at 3pm. Shows how popular this place. Nice view of the harbour from the deck.
3 Star Review by Stephen Desmond
Service was fantastic, very friendly staff. My wife had a Slip Wharf cocktail which was excellent and Bar girl recommended a Balter Easy Hazy. Very nice. Food left a little to be desired. Took a while to come out. We had the Seafood basket..maybe it sat awhile as chips werent crispy and there seemed to a lot of calamari and not much else. View of the harbour from upstairs was fantastic and a very nice atmosphere.
5 Star Review by Harry B McDouall Stuart
The Queens Wharf Hotel is a venue that always seems to deliver better than expected quality and value. The view over the river and port entry (Nobbys Heads) is unsurpassed, the staff are fantastic and extremely eager to please, and the food is excellent value for money. Their good selection of beers & wines is another selling point. Definitely a place to consider for your next visit to the Newcastle foreshore.
5 Star Review by Xin Jaow
Stopped by this place for a break on our way back to Sydney and couldnt have asked for a better plan. Had a few rounds of juicy oysters of different varieties. Pair that with a great view and time passed quickly just like that. Wish we had more time to spare so that we could be there longer. Fresh local beers available from the taps for those who aren't driving!
1 Star Review by Zhijia He
Had a Seafood platter, was very looking forward but all fresh seafood are not fresh which you can smell it straight way! Some are off. We complained but they firstly offered some drinks and desserts for a $140 seafood platter! Half of the value of the patter is from the seafood and they want us forget about the seafood, which is absolutely unacceptable. We insist to get some refund from the seafood because we cant eat those seafood. Finally, we received $40 refund which is about the market value of the seafood told by the waiter. This means we paid $100 for salads and deep fried. Very unpleasant experience for our holiday. Hope this can be improved.

Food and outlook were good, but the pricing was way too high as the bar and service staff were atrocious!

Loved the food, the location, and beer.
4 Star Review by Jay Peabey
Very busy and it showed with a long wait for our food - over an hour. Can't say it was worth the wait, but nor was it awful. Just middling. Nice location though.
