Really nice little gem. Food was good and drinks were spot on. Great place to have a drink, chat and listen to some live music

Food was nice when it came out for the group however me and my partner never received our pizza. We discussed with the manager the situation and he was adamant we got our food when we didn't.We tried to resolve the situation with the cook but not only was she rude and ignored us. We gave the management a chance to resolve the situation but we're not budging. Disappointing. Bar staff were inexperienced and incompetent. I imagine the venue was understaffed. I hope your venue gets better in the future with better staff with better customer service skills.

We took a small group of our interstate friends & family here last weekend for some drinks & a bite. Our guests were pleased with the lovely friendly welcoming staff & the fresh yummy food with quick service. We will be back again in the near future. Friendly vibes!!

Booked online place looked nice, got email confirmation. Arrived on the night and no table reserved. Staff were new and didn't seem to know how to make drinks that were clearly advertised or how to use pos correctly. Food is overpriced for what comes out. Pizzas are from a frozen base, garlic bread was a roll cut up and extremely lightly toasted with some jar garlic and cheese. Some of our food didn't come out at all, no refunds offered and staff made it seem like it was our fault someone else claimed our food. The space looks really good, beer garden has great ambiance, but not so great when you scratch surface. Won't be recommending to anyone and will not be returning.

Attended Australia day event (Brazilian BBQ) Food was delicious and the staff super friendly. The entertainment through out the day was awesome and I loved the vibe. Will definitely go back next time I'm in the area to try the food on the menu and the delicious cocktails.

Nice vibe to the venue. Staff need training. Owner and kitchen hand both assume they can do no wrong, yet they’re rewriting a narrative by claiming there was a single group in the outdoor area. If they could take a booking properly they may have noticed we booked and were unrelated to the larger group they sent all these “freebies” to.Bar tender unable to read bottle labels, had to wait while they worked out where each of their ciders were kept. Outside the fridge, apparently as I received a glass full of ice to chill the drink.Some food was great, no complaints with the popcorn chicken I had. Pizza bases are supermarket brand and average. A sliced dinner roll with minced garlic dumped out of a jar isn’t what most people expect when the menu says “garlic bread”.Maybe better communication between the bar and kitchen for food orders and staff looking for the table number instead of wandering about and handing food to the first person that claims it would work better. But after 10 weeks in maybe the business will run better in the future.

Terrible place to eat. Pop corn chicken had bones in it, chips were under cooked after waiting ages, but worst of all friends didn't get the pizzas they ordered and paid for, staff refused them a refund for the missing pizzas saying we called around with your pizzas but nobody responded" "we can't give you a refund because we are down two pizzas"

Walked into a small but welcoming place a man with beard behind the counter served me and he was amazing down to earth and was working his heart out. I had a great vibe with this place plenty of good conversations throughout the establishment. We had good cocktails and wine and the food was superb. Would recommend this place over and over. As a critic I enjoyed this place 4 stars only because one of the cocktails I wanted was out of ingredients. Live music good local feel. Please visit when in the area.

Came here for a New Year's Eve event. The bartenders tried their best and I think given the circumstances they did a great job, but it seemed the venue had not organised themselves properly for such a busy night. Service was very slow and plagued with technical issues (fridge lights went out so bartenders had to use their phone torches to see the drinks, ATM machines weren't working for a period of time, and for some reason the price list wasn't available so the bartenders didn't know the prices of some drinks). Took over 1 hour from arriving to get water and drinks. Also my group were disappointed that even though we had purchased tickets we were seated approx 0.5 metres next to two massive speakers, which made conversation impossible. After much discussion we were then moved to a temporary makeshift table. Honestly I felt a bit embarrassed for choosing this venue.
