Attached to Scratchleys is Battlesticks Bar which is a modern Bar with a relaxed feel. this review is for Battlesticks not Scratchleys although I couldn’t search Battlesticks. This bar is great for couples, groups having a bite to eat or a main meal. Offering an assortment of tapas. We ordered marinated mixed olives which were nicely marinated & warm. Also orders scallops & prawn dumplings with spicy chilli & soy sauce, these were steamed perfectly very nice balance of flavours yum. Friday’s from 12-6pm is happy hour with a great selection of cocktails beer and wine. Beers were $6 this was for your normal beers like Tooheys New etc, and a selection of other beers like Kosciuszko pale ale. The staff were happy accomodating & very friendly.
What a lovely way to soak in the beautiful view on the wharf. The seafood was very fresh and it was a lovely balance with the fresh fruit plus the cocktails were delicious. We definitely recommend this place!
No lobster, and there were items on the menu which were unavailable. Otherwise, a great meal in a beautiful setting and would have given 9 stars.
Great friendly service, excellent location and average food. This isn't a criticism - the food was perfectly acceptable. The chargrilled seafood platter makes a theatrical entrance as a huge plate piled high... But the vast majority was fruit (!!) and lettuce, the seafood unseasoned and the chargrilled food was a small portion drenched in pesto. Not exactly worth the $72 price tag but fresh and edible. The winner was the kids meal - excellent value at $10 and chicken schnitzel heaven.

When you can't decide what to get from the menu, get the epic platter!
This place is so romantic at night (highly recommend to be seated by the water). Service is great, and the food is just delicious.
You can tell the seafood is fresh! ✌@foodiesguidetosydney
Have been here a few times a few years ago but the place is still great and the food sensational. Had the tuna steak and the barramundi and it was very tasty. Definitely a place to come for a meal if ever in Newcastle as the view is also great on the water.
Very impressed! Beautiful wine selection and one of the best fish dishes - red emperor with green curry and basmati pilaf - I've ever had. Highly reccomend! Also has a huge wine selection.

It was our first time at Scratchley, all the meals on menu sounded great. We settled for rump steak 250gm surf and turf, the meat was cooked perfectly. My wife had the Lamb and a friend had chicken. All meals were great the staff were friendly helpful and were always there asking if we needed anything. Great meal, great service we will be back
Awesome food! Everything was amazing! View was spectacular! Definitely recommended one of the best!
Came back to this place, absolutely awesome food 2nd time round. You get what u pay for and this place delivers. If u want to be impressed or impress someone come here!
The food was really tasty, I really enjoyed it. I got the Salmon and my friend got the Barramundi. The portions are a little on the small size for the price you pay.
Had a lovely view while having dinner. Great menu.
Beautiful meal with my son-in-law. Seafood was so fresh and staff were very attentive. My favourite seafood restaurant in Newcastle
