Marlborough Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Madam Phoebe
If you're looking for a bar that goes full tilt with their decorations and themes this is the bar, great use of space , friendly helpful bar tenders , the food is good and they did great chips too, drinks were nice. - great sitting options.. it was my first time visiting here in Halloween in 2022 and I'm definitely coming back to drink and nibble at the bar now outside the spooky season.
3 Star Review by Jai Kowalik
Came here for my first bar in Sydney. Door staff and glassies were quite welcoming, and the drink prices are fair with a nice party atmosphere, however I tried to request the location of the restrooms from one of the security guards and they completely snubbed me and told me to move on. Overall I had a good time, but would be nice to tend to patrons if they require your amenities.
4 Star Review by Nicole Peacey
Staff are super friendly and enthusiastic, the floors however a pretty sticky. I do like that they go above and beyond in events, Halloween being one of their most recent. It's a good place to go for a night out, the DJs music is great to dance to with a couple of throw backs!

What a horrible experience. I will never be coming back here. As an old local, this pub has changed massively. It is not the friendly local pub it used to be. Last night we went to watch the rugby that was on the big screen. They bar staff refused to put the commentary on and instead turned the music louder. Mid game they randomly closed the big screen, without notifying us. The bar manager and 3 bouncers then came over to us to tell us that we needed to leave because someone in our group was "being aggressive to the bar staff" - which was completely untrue and a fabricated story. It became very apparent that they wanted to set up a DJ and remove all the chairs that we were sitting on. The bar manager and bouncers handled this situation poorly and frankly they were the aggressors in the situation. There was no fair or polite communication coming from the bar manager and bouncers. There was no alternative provided of where we could move to to continue to watch the game. It was a very disrespectful and disappointing to be treated like that as a paying patron. To come to a pub, with a big screen, showing a game, with a friendly group of friends and be treated like this is rude, disgusting and unacceptable. If I could give zero stars I would. My friends and I will spread the word about how poor this pub is.

My friends and I were kicked out along with a group of older drunk men who approached our table who we had never met, when we calmly explained to the bouncer we didnt have anything to do with them we were physically pushed out of the venue, I was then informed I have been banned for life by the young manager which is not the first time, and yet again I asked why with no real explanation, at this stage Im purely intrigued to what the reason is and asked if I could talk to someone else who knows why Im banned, another manager with a beard said I could talk to the licensee but if I didnt show up all my friends with me would also be banned for life. Big bouncer with dreads was the only bouncer who was not being aggressive so props to that fella.

It's fine. I used to go here years ago and it used to be one of my favourites, but that was when I was a penniless uni student and I don't know if the Marley has changed or if I have.

1 Star Review by NELSON SYD
My cousin from Portugal had a broken English and the security lady at the from didnt let him go in and because of his broken English she said he was intoxicated and he didnt had nothing to drink. I was a fully disrespectful situation when we tried to explain and she didnt let us. It was as a clear case of xenophobia in front of my friends and family.
5 Star Review by Will Hargan
Breko's Bingo on a Thursday at the Marlborough is the place to be on a Thursday night. Been about 5 times now and every time has been a great night with quality food, quick service and a lot of laughs and entertainment. Highly recommend booking a table and trying it!
