Review Honkytonks - Canberra

Mouse Croghan
Pretty okay! I had the vegan salad (not because I'm vegan) but because it allegedly had crispy tacos. My daughter had the hotdog with cheese and chipotle which apparently was good. Service was negligable. We.got our food but not much in the way of customer service. Mind you I'm 52 and am invisible to any ok me younger than 30.

The food was pretty good but it was a mess to eat. Still worth it however. The meal was a good price and the staff was nice. While the restaurant was small, there is additional seating outside. Would come again.

I'm giving a 5 star because the staff were friendly except the older bouncers. however, my friends and I enjoyed the drinks, good vibes and amazing DJ. I would highly recommend .

Absolutely loved the place, we went with 2 toddlers and are vegetarian.... The staff was so accommodating and even encouraging for kids to be kids...they also had spicy potato along with mushrooms as an option. After a long time we enjoyed drinks in a non RSL type place, not that we don't like RSL...just it was a welcoming and good change. Yummy food, good music and amazing cocktails.

After rescheduling our booking to 8:30 then calling while on our way to tell them we would be 10 minutes later, we arrived to meet the bearded host who was EXTREMELY rude and told us no table was available (and that they had given ours away 15 minutes ago - at 8:25) and he didn't know when a table would be available. When we asked why they didn't tell us "no" when we called just before 8:30, he replied with "I'm telling you no now". So, we asked if he could recommend us somewhere nearby to go, to which we received a swift "no". Rudest experience I've had at a restaurant, and that was prior to even being inside. Frankly we are glad we aren't there eating now. Instead arrived at beach burrito after they closed the kitchen, which they agreed to reopen off we ordered quickly.

Absolutely disgusted by all their staff. We had made a booking for 36 people and they said if ALL 36 people weren’t there at exactly 7:30 they would give away our tables, even though we had a good 20 people there. Considering it’s always empty, seemed a bit much 🤷🏼‍♀️ The bartenders were rude and super unfriendly. When I got some fries delivered the waiter made me take my own food off of his tray (even though there was nothing else on it). We also had food removed from our table before we had finished. Our booking was from 7:30 till “late”. At 9:50pm on a Saturday we were told we had 10 minutes to relocate our entire booking. I ran into some ladies who were there for a hen’s night and they had mentioned they accidentally broke a glass. To which the bartenders removed ALL glassware from their table as if they were incompetent? Overall, completely disgusted and will never be returning 😊

Terrible customer service from the host, rude, obnoxious and in a massive power trip. Made a booking for dinner and they selectively decided not to honor the booking, don't bother wasting your money at this place! Go spend your money at Beach Burrito Co just around the corner, they were happy to hold the kitchen open to take our order, $500 well spent and if they were staying open we would have spent more.

Staff weren’t very friendly and food wasn’t the best.

This used to be the place to go and was one of the best bars in Canberra, what the fuck has happened with the new owners? Not one person that used to work at the bar is still there, all the new staff look like they should be working at uni pub. This place has gone to the dogs. Sadly it looks like it's the end of an era, RIP honkeys it was sick while it lasted.

The tacos were empty! I got three different tacos and all of them had pretty much a tea spoon of meat and a sprinkling of corn, certainly not worth the money, won't be coming back.

Was a bit weird. Quiter than it used to be. More staff than patrons, seemed like their life goal was to check if we had finished our drinks every 3 minutes. Toilets were quite chilly. Beach Greek is better.

One staff member in particular was incredibly rude. She tried to take the table that I had booked within 15 minutes of my arrival because it was a "super busy" night and we didn't have enough people to warrant the space. There were at least 5 other empty tables. I won't be back ever again.

Kendall Roberts
Great atmosphere, staff were helpful & enjoyed the food!
Martin Murphy
Great food and bar staff. The artwork is always interesting, as well. Great little place for a catch up after work. Many a good night has been spent here!
