              My regular for Thursday night trivia - a great weekly social event, free and welcoming. Close to trams and Southern Cross and easy to get too - great staff, very friendly, always a convivial fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.

              Excellent food - service by the girls was second to none - all where more than happy to help out - quick to bring out the food and clear plates without being intrusive Steak was excellent and pork belly and bruschetta starters where great My wife had the barramundi which was also very good and my daughter had the eggplant parmigiana which she said was very good It was a little noisy but the place was pretty busy so you have to expect that Good range of drinks and once again I have to commend them on their excellent service

              Pies lately have been outstanding. The beef brisket less so. Everyone who has had fish & chips this week thoroughly enjoyed them - cooked well, fish fresh, yummo

              Service was ok however the food was terrible. Pork belly had too much soy sauce over the top and the beef brisket had no flavour and tasted like it had been heated up in a microwave.
