Macquarie Arms Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by R S Gallaher
Amazing old heritage pub said to be Australia's oldest although about 5 other pubs lay that claim also. Nonetheless it's got various areas to eat and drink both inside and out. I recommend a seat in the front window at street level. Awesome friendly bar staff aswell. Looking forward to returning.
4 Star Review by Lucas Andrews
I will never betray the quality and quantity of their chicken snitty any day of the week other than maybe Quakers Hill might beat them because of the diane sauce, size and quality. If you are looking for a good outing grab a feed here, move on to Windsor ice cream and some treats for home at the lollies shop. Sometimes the wait can take a while for the food to arrive, but great stuff is in the works trust me! I recommend to try the steaks and the sides.
1 Star Review by Heidi Hodder
Eggplant parmi price on board was $16 but I was charged $20 (apparently because it was Schnitzel special day so all Schnitzels $20), I was asked if I wanted chips and salad and I asked if there's another option was told yes mash and veg so I went for that but wasn't told it was $6 extra. New staff so understandable but when I emailed to point out I was overcharged by $10 (I didn't notice at the time, only later that day) I would have been happy with an apology but instead I was told the reasons for why it was more which I don't think was reasonable because if the price is higher than advertised then this should be advised at register. Only ten bucks yes but it's the principle plus prices are so high right now every little bit counts.

3 Star Review by Simone Danielle
It was a fun new years eve. The karaoke was really fun. Bar staff were really friendly. Tables outside were pretty dirty. Apart from one VERY drunk guy name Steven (black shirt, white shorts) who was very inappropriate, and kept approaching women (he really didn't like it when we told him to stop, leave us alone, and keep his hands to himself) all night, it was a great time.
