Bat and Ball Hotel reviews
3 Star Review by Duncan Chen
Food: 3/5 Got the chicken burger which was very nice, with fantastic sauce and coleslaw and crispy fired chicken. The chips however were a let down as while they were crispy, they lacked any salt whatsoever. Service: 2/5 Bar service for drinks and ordering was fast. However the wait for food was immensely long, with our entire table waiting roughly 25 mins for some burgers. Atmosphere: 3/5 Nicely located next to Moore Park. Classic pub decorations.
4 Star Review by N C
Standard Aussie old school pub, in the best possible way. Good value simple meals. Nice pork belly roast. Beers on tap including some of the greats (Reschs, VB). They didn't have Foxtel though which is a pretty big miss - couldn't watch the AFL game we wanted. Pretty disappointing for a place called "Bat & Ball" and down the street from the SCG!
1 Star Review by Rhys Travels
The bar service was good, friendly and efficient. Don't come here for the steak. We had them on a Monday night they were awful--dry, chewy, tasteless and terrible cut of meat. Definitely not cooked medium. Not worth $26 at all. We should have taken that as a sigh that few people were actually eating there at dinner time. We live in the area definitely won't be back for the food.
5 Star Review by Conditional Release
The wings at the bat and ball are the best on the planet. I'm not exaggerating - I just came back from the USA and none of the wings came close to these. Legit ranch dressing as well. Honestly can't imagine better wings. Come to the bat and ball for the best damn wings on earth.
4 Star Review by David Maddison
$10 for a kg or $16 for 2kg of wings on a Monday night with any drink purchase was definitely the draw card for us this evening. There had also been reviews on urban list that these were some of the best wings in Sydney - they were ok. A little dry and not so spicy for hot wings but good value for he price. The nachos were pretty damn good and service was pretty awesome too.
