Quiet trade for New Years Day, with pleasant staff, great selection of tap beers, and reasonable ‘pub food’. Nice and casual vibe. Pool table available with big open layout. Next door to arcade (gaming) and VR shop, so great to entertain the kids whilst you relax with a cold beverage in the beer garden.

Amazing food for price. Hot and pretty quick. Was a great environment where you could talk to the people you were with or just listen to the music. Lighting was great where we were.Will go again.

I ordered the chicken burger, ginger beer and for dessert I had the skillet cookie, the food was amazing, the chicken burger was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, the ginger beer was refreshing and the staff was friendly and helpful.Awesome work

Not a great burger. No real thought put into the flavouring and not a great amount of chips with it. Good selection of beers.

Bitterly disappointed, have been disappointed here before but thought we would give them another try. Worst experience ever! Pork belly was not crispy despite it being called crispy pork belly on the menu, the vegetables thatsaccompanied the pork belly were raw, which is strange considering we waited so long for our meals. The bacon on the breakfast meals was so charred and burned, tasted disgusting with a lingering taste. we were not asked how the eggs were to be cooked when we ordered, despite the menu saying eggs how you like them" or something to that effect

I wouldn’t normally rate a craft beer place 2 stars, but there a some good reasons for this.1. My partner, a mate and I visited on the 2nd of January, not a particularly busy day.We ordered 3 simple burgers, nothing fancy as we were hungry and it was about 1:20pm.We did not receive our burgers until 2:30pm, we have this time down right as my partner took pictures of the food.2. The burgers were outright bad, the beef patty inside was more like a giant overcooked meatball and hard to eat - not good at all. I told the waitress this and she seemed surprised.3. On the positive the staff were friendly and the service was pretty good.

This restaurant was overall very disappointing. We came here sine the place looked great, had a lot of beer taps, had a great menu, but it didt't live up to our expectations. We ordered the crispy pork belly and an the hippie salad. The crispy pork belly was not crispy, and even worse, it was tasteless. The portion was so small i would have to order at least three of them to have walked without wanting to buy some fast food. Definetly not worth the 30$. The hippie salad had some of the same problem, it was super super dry and tasteless. Nothing about it made it special, and super overpriced for a salad thats so simple.The staff here where nice, but very unexperienced. Do not take the plate before everyone at the table is done eating, espacially when we are only two. It makes it really uncomfortable for the people still eating.And the worst part of this place by far.DO NOT PUT ICE CUBES IN MY BEER!!!
