Dicey Riley's reviews
1 Star Review by Brandon Coffey
Never been to a pub that doesnt do schnitzel before but hey Ill give it a chance! Food was served in cardboard, pretty average at best. Mash was cold and not creamy, pie and pasta seemed microwaved which seems highly likely given the big sign at the counter that says NO MENU CHANGES HOWEVER CAN REMOVE ITEMS, red flags Seems like a great place for a beer but wouldnt eat here.

Roll the dice, Bryce and don't you come back, no more. I got wine here, had a few actually. I also learnt how to DJ, here which was fun, I got on the deck and ripped it pretty hard for the crowd of people there, while I was wearing a sack. I saw someone win a 20 dollars on the pokies while I was there, that was pretty neat. I also talked to my partner on the phone out in the back smoking area for a while, and everyone now and then someone that I knew would walk past and then see me on the phone and we would exchange little nods to each other.

We had Melbourne Cup Lunch and the service & food was superb. The hotel provided a musician to top it off, he was great!

Our first trip to Wollongong and had a great time on both days at Dicey Riley's. Cold beer and a few games of darts. Friendly and helpful staff and a shout out to Cameron who looked after us on both visits
