It's a good and big pub. Dog friendly. Good cold spilled Guinness and many other beers from all over Australia and over sea. Food is OK. Ceasar salad was on average but the lamb pie was good. I think it's one of the best pub around together with coach and horses. I don't know if the DOG does happy hour cheaper beer, though.
Has got a lot better recently. Don't know if it is the new management or if it is down to a new chef but the Sunday Roast is great. Very tasty and decent portion sizes. All the staff are also very friendly and helpful. Had a small birthday gathering here recently and they were really helpful regarding storing and bringing out the cake for us etc. Recommend.
Ever since Merivale took over the food has improved ten fold and the staff are super chill and friendly. New management hasn’t messed with the place at all and it’s basically the same as before but with the best happy hour, awesome beer on tap and as previously mentioned the yummiest food. Still kid friendly and staff are welcoming on arrival with good tunes playing throughout. Well done guys.
A really nice ambience reminiscent of an old British pub. Good food and a nice selection of beer. A good place to bring children too.
Great place to catch up with friends. Dog friendly pub. Dogs allowed in the beer garden. Today tried the Sunday roast - generous serving of beef (have choice of chicken too). Served with gravy big size potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, broccoli and gigantic Yorkshire pudding. Service was a bit slow (think people suffering post covid) and may be attitude was a bit off still a great place to go. Also serves your usual fare burgers, fish n chips, chicken parmie. Good selection of cocktails too. Will go again as things can only get better now that everything is opening up.
We really wanted a bottle of wine after the bottle shop had closed so we went in and bought a $55 bottle of wine and tried to sneak it out, the bouncer caught us and made us take it back, the manager REFUNDED us!!! What a legend! Although we didn’t get wine from the DOG we got wine elsewhere for 1/3 of the price. Five stars for the leniency! Legends! Highly recommend stealing wine from here. They are very amenable to thieves. Especially middle aged women thieves.
Came for the Sunday roast and UFC with my puppy. Was greeted by a super lovely member of staff. Unfortunately, I did not get her name, but she was very attentive and brought our pup some water straight away and said hello.
The roast was DELICIOUS - highly recommend! Came very fast and was a generous serving.
Beer list was a bit of a disappointment. Would have liked a bit more variety, but still enough to keep most people happy.
We ended up having to move tables mid way through the UFC event because reservations are for a max of 2 hours. I get it, but it meant we had to move around a lot to try and watch the event with the dog. It might be worth considering reservations around specific event running times.
Staff and management were very good at maintaining RSA and safety standards.
Will absolutely be returning very soon. A wonderful venue overall.
