Hi all. If you have great mates and looking for a perfect venue for a few "Team Builders" the Aireys Pub is the place to be.
The staff are friendly and very efficient and I just love the Session beer on tap.
Perfect arrival time is about 2 pm on a Saturday, get a spot on the deck and enjoy.
I have been to a few Pubs in my career but this is my favourite. Enjoy! Luke...👍🍻😜
Great variety of vegan/vegetarian food. We are so surprised as we’ve travelled a lot.
The wild mushroom fettucini is mmmmmmm yummy!! Tacos great too.
Fantastic!!
Great local pub. Excellent staff, decent meals and great entertainment. If you’re in the area DON’T miss it�
My husband and I came in for dinner tonight and were greeted almost straight away. The food was great, chicken parmigana a really good size and the lamb pizza off the specials board was delish. Thank you!
We walked in on a 40 degree (C) Saturday lunch time to find the air con was coping well, such a relief. My friend and I had the beer battered Gurnard with chips and salad and my wife had the Margarita pizza. The fish and chips were delicious with perfect batter and the chips had right amount of crispness. My wife said the pizza was perfect but so big she could only eat half. The next time we go there, and there will definitely be a next time, we shall share a pizza. My friend, a part owner in a brewery in NZ, had the beer tasting paddle and said whilst the beers were very good they were not as good as his. He would say that of course. My Salt lager was really nice, perfect for a hot day.
Overall a very pleasant experience in a place we shall recommend to all our friends.
Absolutely can’t go wrong at this place! I have been to Aireys Pub multiple times whilst being on my Surf Coast holiday and it has not failed to disappoint. I ordered the paprika roasted pumpkin wedge with the Middle East farafels and gosh was I full afterwards! They serve a sizeable piece of pumpkin with an endless salad which will keep you full for hours. I also highly recommend the farafels because the eggplant & chickpea tagine is to die for.
After reading reviews, was 50/50 about visiting this venue however was impressed. It was a busy night in peak holiday time and our 8 dinner meals were very good and served quickly. They had music playing outside but the speakers we're not too loud. If you've children there's an expansive grassed area for them to play and meet other kids. Recommend this place for families, couples and young crowds. Short enjoyable drive from Anglesea
We stopped in on a whim driving past and what a gem we found. We got the meat platter to share and it was amazing! More than enough for two people. And a lovely view out back to sit and eat.
As most of the shops in anglesea already closed in the night, we were recommended to try on this restaurant. We tried on the their wine & food to eat and the outcome was not bad. The restaurant atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Love their shop philosophy and efforts of helping to save Mother Nature!
Went here last night for dinner on a freezing cold night and couldn’t be happier seeing a fireplace in front of our eyes! We ordered the Parma with a side of veggies and honestly couldn’t fault it. The chips were crispy and cooked to perfection and likewise with the Parma. We also received excellent customer service just to top off the experience.
Great location with ample parking if you are planning a drive along the Great Ocean Rd,Nice views. The food was quite good, I had a blackboard special The brisket Pizza and it was more then ample serving.The Parmas were a full breast fillet that must have come from some extraordinarily large chickens.Service was friendly and moved along quickly, they have several local beers on tap.
Went there on a Sunday night. Staff were pleasant and venue is very nice. Both my partner and I ordered the open souvlaki... it got delivered immediately (I am not kidding.. like 2 min). While the food ingredients were nice, we felt that it was a bit cold and overly priced for what we received. Also ordered beer battered chips and to us, they were just your packet potato chips fried up for like $9!
I love the atmosphere here. Especially on summer nights. It is also set up great for families. However, the food and the pricing are average.
The pub has a very nice atmosphere about it. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. Would have to be one of the best chicken parmas I've had.
Great little pub. The local pale ale was delicious. I had the fish of the day - barramundi with salad, healthy and delicious. The bread and butter pudding for dessert was great (so was the sticky date pudding, which my husband had). The service was friendly and quick and the atmosphere was nice esp with the wood fire 🔥 in winter - so cosy. 👌🏽
What a surprise this place was. Microbrewery on site, exhibiting some choice brews. Nicely appointed and it just has a real "let's get a skin full here for a few hours" kinda vibe to it. The Pale Ale is tremendous. Do recommend.
The field mushroom and tofu burger was great and my wife loved her 'sustainable fish of the day', salmon. The beers on tap are great too. Nice atmosphere too.
We enjoyed the service and the food for both grown ups and kids
Note..chicken parma is very hearty!
Must recommend the curry of the day or the local fish
Happy to come back
We had a delicious meal and staff were fantastic on what must have been one of their busiest nights of the year!
Thanks for a great night Airey's pub!
Thoroughly enjoyed all our meals tonight. We had the pork belly, risotto, seafood spag, duck and kids meals. Everyone was very happy with the quality of food and the service was excellent. Will be back,
Great service brilliant specials board tonight loved the tuna steak with lime and coriander dressing with asparagus on a bed of sweet potato! Yum
Great Vibe, Great Parmy. What a great Pub!! Great vibe, great space for the kids to run around and the food was awesome. We had the perfect Parmy, some nice ribs and A kale Caesar which was a bit different but tasty and the kids meals hit the spot. They have just started brewing there own beer, not sure about the Pilsner but the Pale Ale was amazing and the 'Cranky Missus' IPA warmed your insides (8.2% alcohol). We'll be back for sure!
Come here for dinner and drinks often, food is always delicious and staff are very friendly and welcoming
Good food, great service. Lots of ticks with this place. Great food (chips were very close to the best we have ever had), love the atmosphere (comes complete with flying trapeze in the back yard), both bar tenders knew how to make a great bloody Mary, the service was relaxed, friendly and staff went out of their way to remedy and find an answer when we thought a mistake had been made with billing (it hadn't).
Love this place - happy to revisit and recommend
Food and service are excellent! Recommend the burger and fish! Very tasty!!
Good food. Good standard pub food
Try the pork ribs, absolutely delicious, they come with a great accompanying salad too.
The Aireys Pub has consistently great food and a lovely atmosphere. My in-laws have a holiday house at Aireys so we are here regularly and pretty much always stop in for a meal. It's a little bit pricey but I've rarely been disappointed. We had the best curry we've ever eaten here about a year ago; too bad it was just a special and not on the permanent menu! I still think about it. If you're reading this, Aireys Pub, bring back that chicken, lime and capsicum curry permanently!
Staff are great. Relaxed and friendly. Good gluten free selection. Amazing local ciders/beers. Food is good gastropub tucker. My favourite local haunt.
Friendly staff and live music make it worthwhile. We have a holiday house in Airey's Inlet so we visit the pub a lot during the off-peak times. We love this place for it's use of local and fresh produce and it's friendly vibe. We last ate here roughly a month ago and were a little disappointed as our mains just weren't nearly as tasty as they have been in the past. The little extra's were left off, such as no thai sauce on the fish, no bread with the soup and no chilli in the curry. Luckily the staff were really helpful and gave us compensation for this. We really love this place and are hoping the chef picks up their game for next time we come :)
Great place, wonderful ambience, fantastic food. Love it!
Whist I can appreciate new staff are learning, when my dinner order is stuffed up & I have to chase the staff to find out its whereabouts after waiting for an hour, it's a bit ridiculous. Watching meal after meal leave the kitchen, without even an apology for the muck around is even more ridiculous. Luckily the food is delicious!
Had a great meal and very gluten free friendly. So nice to have a delicious desert for a change.
Staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was amazing. I had the kangaroo which was cooked to perfection. Will defiantly come back again and recommend to others to make the trip down.
Value for money, delicious food. Kids nuggets awesome all real chicken. Great outside area for kids to play. Totally enjoyed it. Well done guys. Come from Lorne for the drive well worth it. Cheers
I'll keep coming back. Third visit to the Aireys since it reopened a tad over a year ago and again we were not disappointed. Great service, great menu choices, top value for food. All you could ask for in pub food and more. Make sure you drop in if you're passing.
Lovely meal at Airey's inlet hotel. Kids meals were good size and well presented. I had the barramundi special..very tasty. The sticky date is a knock out! Service was friendly and pretty prompt. Very busy though so we were lucky to get a table without booking.
Great Parma. Say a 9/10. One of the best Parma's I've had in quite some time. Large portion of chicken and a tasty salad. Maybe a few more chips but that would be being picky.
Make sure you book as they were very busy on a Friday night in summer.
Would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
One of Australia's true iconic pubs. Now back on its feet again which is great to see! Food is good and after spending a could of nights over the chrissy break there have yet to be disappointed. Good selection of beer- good to see they haven't gone with the cliches. Service was great and friendly, can't wait to get back there on a warm night - truly one of the great views on the coast
We decided to drive from Anglesea to give the pub a try tonight....!!
Very Happy with the meals, although on the higher side of pub pricing. We took our 1 yr old son and there was a good choice for kids including a large area for the kids to run around.
I enjoyed my pork belly although it was a little bit chewy and cooked a bit quick, my wife had chicken breast on couscous which was cooked very well.
The wine list was of good variety and pricing as standard.
For Pub food this was a 7/10.
We would certainly call back in for another meal.
Finally, great meal at Aireys!. Spent holidays at Aireys and we had avoided pub so asto give others a go. We should have one to pub from beginning. Went to Bistro which had a few extra dishes to bar menu, and greeted by welcoming young staff. Barman even convinced me to try a new local brew called Chainsaw.
Just had mains and my chicken Parma was fantastic. Cooked well, cheese melted beautifully,chips and salad done perfectly. Wife had her usual fish and chips & salad and did not get disappointed. Sure their menus still limited and locals are really trying to get this business to improve but think they're getting there. Young staff (waitresses, barmen) were brilliant. Sorry didn't go here first.
The low ratings are due to the fact that the pub was rescued by a local aireys consortium and they had to open in a rush. The kitchen has since improved out of sight, this is great pub grub and also a great pub
Have had 2 visits, first was earlier this year and last was last week, the first time the food was good but the last time it was great, I had the steak, cooked to perfection, my boys had the chicken nuggets which were made of real chicken not just the processed stuff.
I didn't find anything wrong with the service, both times staff have been very friendly and attentive.
Highly recommended location
Improving all the time. Thesre guys are giving it a red hot go, great vibe, great staff, food improving (pork belly was yummy!). Had a great night - live music Chris Wilson fanastic after a good feed.
I went here for lunch and despite the negative reviews my partner and I loved it he had a burger I had soup and both were well presented and delicious. Maybe the service and food is better at lunch when it's not very busy? Ill definitely be back though
Great location and decent food. Stopped for Saturday lunch on the way to Lorne. Had the chicken BLT, a lunch special, which was tasty and generous in size plus a decent price. Chips lacked salt however and putting salt on afterwards does not always work but they were crunchy. Other half had the seafood chowder - seemed an original and suitable menu item for the location and happened to taste alright too. Friendly lady behind the bar but great feature too was the beers on tap - no VB or the likes but Little Creatures, White Rabbit and a locally brewed one instead. Great! Good fire place and would be a good place to spend a cold day, provided you get a spot near the fire (a warm, sunny day looking at the ocean would be equally good I suppose :))
Came here about 6 months ago and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Back again during winter and it's just as good. Food is great and the staff are very friendly.
Brilliant happy staff. Delicious food u can order via QR code which was convenient as we had a group of 15. Yummy bloody Mary’s. I can highly recommend. And a huge park outside u can kick the footy or skip with kids! Incredible place. Just awesome.
Wow, that was pretty special! Super easy to book in via the app, greeted and welcomed by some amazing staff, seated outside for a really intimate experience. Ordering was simple with the QR code at the table. Meals arrived quickly and were by far the most enjoyable we have had in some time! Capped off with an amazing sunset and desert! We will be back.
Great pub with a vast beer garden area. The brewery attached (Salt Brewing Co) make some really solid beers and all served on tap. A couple of them are awesome for non-craft beer drinkers (try the Salt Lager or Session Ale) but plenty of beers to keep the hop-heads happy!
Great meal - one of the best curries I've ever had. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely come back another time.
This place is such a vibe! Food is really, really good. Fresh, tasty and both traditional and contemporary options. Very cosy, small coastal town feel. Great staff who are attentive and efficient. Huge grassy outdoor space for picnics and drinks or for kids to run around. Highly recommend visiting here.
