Old Bar Tavern reviews

5 Star Review by Sharyn

Had a great night here - it was raffle night, which was a bit of fun even though we didnt win anything. We did however have some great pub food - Herb and garlic bread, Beer battered Barramundi and Pasta Meatballs which were delicious and seriously large in size. The staff were welcoming and really helpful, from the driver of the Courtesy Bus telling us the system on how to get a lift back, to the security guys being really friendly while we waited for the bus. Would definitely recommend if you are lucky enough to be spending some time in Old Bar!

3 Star Review by VERSACE GANG

Food was fresh and delicious and cocktails were amazing. However, the food was definitely overpriced for the portions and atmosphere. I dont mind grungy or rustic or classic tav places places but outside felt dingy and dirty and needs new flooring (timber deck?) and a good pressure wash and the smokers area (if they were in it) was way too close to where everyone was sitting. Meals were $23+ plus $5 on top for chips (!!) and I didnt get much squid and for that price you expect a clean venue.

5 Star Review by Kaz Goodall

Super friendly staff & AWESOME live music including Open Mic on Tues nights from 6:30 where upcoming musos are encouraged to get up & have a go. Oh, and the BEST food!

1 Star Review by Louie B

Ordered pizza to pick up for $16 Tuesday as they advertise but was charged full price $24. When i asked about the special, she said its for dine in only. I re-read the signs and there was no exclusions anywhere. I didnt like the pizza either. I know i wont be going back.

3 Star Review by Reannan Lee

I have visited this tavern many times over the years and it is very much just a standard pub. It could however, very much do with an upgrade as it is looks quite out dated and a bit worse for wear. The outside area has a lot of potential but instead has mismatched uncomfortable chairs and small tables. Food is also average. I find the steak to be a bit chewy and doesnt have the best flavour. Bbq chicken pizza was delicious though. This is a kids area outside with a play ground and a very small pokies machine area inside. 3/5 starts as meals are bought out quickly and staff are always friendly.

5 Star Review by Dominic Scarpari

Called in for dinner and a drink around 5.30pm dinner was delicious, they are still doing some much needed renovating, which should be great once completed, thanks to staff and service we received.
