Good selection of food which taste great at a good location
Great food was great stuff can’t wait to go back soon
Great spot for a best value lunch and beers .
Great lunch feed. Gravy is superb! I'd recommend the rooftop.
We went on a monday. $14 specials are great. Beers are expensive by comparison, but food was good and rooftop is a great space.
Last minute booking, staff and kitchen handled well ! we used the moveable umbrella for more shade.
Table was already when we arrived, food & service was great!
Awesome service and the Barramundi salad is to die for. Double thumbs up
We were a group of 16 and the food came out pretty much at the same time and was hot. All food was good though the steaks were thought to be just average. Enjoyable experience overall.
Great lunch special and very nice service, I would recommend the Bristol Arms Hotel
Very pleasant. Friendly staff. Good selection of wine and beers.
Great beer, good vibes, tasty food and good location. Not bad
There were 54 people in the restaurant and one bar staff. It was a 15 minute wait to get a drink and then another 15 minute wait to order a meal. They need more staff...it is ridiculous. This is the 4th time we have had our Christmas lunch there and it will be the last...its way too frustrating.
We enjoyed the rooftop area... if only we weren't booted out of the undercover and into the sunshine on a hot day. The food could be better - the chips are dry and old....
We were on the rooftop for lunch. Our order was forgotten but the hostess kindly gave us a glass of wine each as an apology. Unfortunately the attitude of the staff generally was pretty poor.
Great spot for a quick lunch and a few beers
Quick service, well-priced and tasty pub food, great rooftop, highly recommend for a very casual occasion.
Gets really busy at lunchtime and food takes a while to get out. Had the calamari and prawns salad, not impressed by the 3 tiny pieces of each so I wouldn’t try that again. Other food looked good though.
great place for few beers up the roof top and nice pub
food was horrible, service was worse. Only 2 people working the bar on a busy summer Friday lunch. Booked table for 10 and the table barely fit 8. Someone orders a haloumi burger and was given a beef burger, was sent back only to return sometime late with another beef burger that was flung down in front of them. Would not return for food.
They got one of our orders wrong, but then replaced it with the correct item free of charge
Thank you for a great evening it was for my farewell drinks for work, apologies I had expected many more people and possibly due to the expected rain they didn’t show but nonetheless the espresso martini’s on tap where amazing :)
Great venue with a great area reserved for us on the rooftop. Would recommend.
Very good thanks - great atmosphere / location and friendly service
Always great. Nice on the roof top for lunch. Easy to book!
Great open area on the roof top to soak some sunshine and have a burger & beer.
great pub with a relaxed atmosphere. We went there for a casual work group lunch and everyone enjoyed their meals and the friendly vibe.
time to order took too long, service was not that great
Wonderful atmosphere, thanks for having us, we thoroughly enjoyed it!
The food was nice and there is a lovely atmosphere on the roof
Food was very nice and fresh but slow service we had to wait for our food
Great food and great prices. Highly recommended if you’re in the city and looking for a good pub.
Great lunch spot on the roof in the sun. We will be back.
food was lovely although rooftop was little cold! service was great
great quiz night and service. not too crowded but good atmosphere.
The service was good. The food was great. Great value!
very good. plenty of spaces. staff are friendly too. convenient location.
Lunch in the sun! Good food for a good price
Your Staff were most helpful and ensured we were comfortable and that the meals were delivered quickly. great pub dining experience.
Good as usual, little cold on the roof top, but heaters helped!
It's a bit echo-y in the top level inside bar. Could be a bit more cosy
Always a good time and feed. Good value and the staff are super friendly.
I had a booking on the rooftop at 19:30. I was hoping on the outside I would have been in a quieter area away from the DJ, but I think another group took my table and hid the reservation sign. The space that was given was a bit noisy and not really equipped for 15 people- we had to ask the team to move some people away (which they did). The food was incredible- I had ordered one of their rooftop platters which was divine. The only problem was they couldn't offer me a takeaway container for some of the leftovers which was poor considering what I paid for the platter. We wound up offering food to other patrons so it wouldn't go to waste. I'd still come back but was left a bit disappointed on this visit.
We had a great night. Great food outside on the rooftop and great music to dance to downstairs. Lots of fun had by all. We will definitely come back.
Great spot in a convenient location. The rooftop is beautiful. Tasty food and cocktails. Despite being very busy, the service was excellent. We will be back
I had booked a table of 10 and specifically asked to be seated indoors. My group arrived to find that we were in fact not seated inside, but were outside on two small round tables. How we were supposed to fit 10 people was beyond comprehension. Luckily there was a dirty table inside that had just been vacated, so we removed glasses and dishes from and sat down there. The ordering process took up to 15-20 minutes of standing in line. Then we waited another 45 minutes for our food. Two lamb salads came out fairly quickly, which was great - but the two people with those salads had to eat in front of the other eight people for another 30-35 minutes while they waited for theirs. Will never come back again.
Upstairs bar only had 2 bartenders; Queue at the bar was quite long and approx. 15 mins wait. The food was delicious however we had to wait approx. 50mins for our food arrive at the table.
Great experience. Nice and clean, food didnt take long and was excellent!! Especially as we didnt realise that there were specials as well! Would recommend for lunch anytime
Booked a table on the top level but when we got there, they hadn't reserved a table for us. The whole place smelt like cigarettes because the door to the smoking area remained open, despite us closing it on a few occasions. We could only stay for 20 minutes because of the smell. The music was also so loud at 5pm that we couldn't hear each other talk. Would not got back!
Had the crispy chicken burger, was delicious. The service was welcoming and very friendly. We definitely enjoyed our lunch at Bristol Arms and will be back again soon.
