Paragon Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Jo SB
We came for a quick bite and drinks and were happy to see a great selection of beers. We ordered the $1 Hot Chilli Chicken Wings & Chips. The place was nice and quiet, so we got to enjoy our drinks and food. Service was also quick and friendly.
4 Star Review by John Copeland
Good city pub. Bistro food was fine (I had a pretty good pizza) and the drink prices were acceptable enough. Staff are friendly and professional. Although I did see anything untoward, I assessed there was enough security available to ensure there would be no issues.
5 Star Review by John Hutchin
A lovely location and the food was excellent, I had the pork steak for mains, prawns for entree. The staff were capable and friendly.
5 Star Review by Roland Illyes
Great food, nice beers on the tap, few liquid gems in the bar on a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and professional. The best option in the area for a pub meal with a pint or for a whole night catch up!
3 Star Review by Branna
Food is ok and slightly overpriced for what it is but that is the general trend in the CQ area. They have a coupon in the entertainment book which makes the price a bit more reasonable. Predominantly a white collar crowd. Better places to eat nearby prior to coming here for a drink. Don't have the sound on during many major sporting events.
