Review Quiksilver Bar 61 - Torquay

So disappointing the guys who work here (1pm on Feb 12) give no assistance, are scornful about Melbournians, tell people off for touching boards rather than help (we surf and know how to handle boards without damaging them), and speak down to females. We would have spent $1k+ on a new board and some clothes but walked out because of the awful disdainfulness of staff - so sad to report this for a brand we both once loved.

These guys stooged me on a surfboard... waited 12 months for nothing. At which point they lost my deposit forms. Consequently lost my $100 dollar deposit. This was about 5 years ago..... not sure if ownership has changed since then.

Worst online shop ever., my issue is they are failing to communicate, I've been on chat 3 times waiting. Only managed once for someone to respond and they did not update delivery that should have been dispatched by now according to their website. When I asked her to cancel order she said yet she would. This has NOT been done. I've called on telephone twice once on hold for 45 minutes and 30 minutes the other time, I've also emailed twice and have had no response, as you could imagine I'm very upset by this lack of basic communication and no longer wish to deal with this company, I've asked numerous times to cancel and they have not honored this, clearly this is in breach of the Fai Trading Act.

Nice store, good supply of boardshorts. Great Aussie brand

Used to pop in every so often but recently dealt with a rude staff member(tone and attitude)and will not ever come back. I don't like to normally leave bad reviews but here it is.

Ok... so i ve been refused service for not wearing a mask despite advising about having an exemption. I was also asked to show the ID.. since when do shop assistants have authority to check your papers???

Congrats to the team at boardriders for politely asking for id and ensuring I was complying with COVID rules by not being from Melbourne. Great social responsibility and ensuring safety of your workers and other customers.

Spoke to Tom the surfboard guy, got me sorted with the best axe, while being professional and recieving impeccable customer service. Thanks James the barber for giving me the dopest haircut with a smile. Fantastic experience.

On our honeymoon & called in to get some shorts - great shop with really friendly staff & got some lovely shorts with $10 off. Then went upstairs to the cafe for lunch, really nice coffee and the Ceaser Salad was the best I have had in a very long time plus lunch with a sea view is always good

Everything about this place is awesome. Family friendly and perfect to kick start the weekend!

Always come here every time we go to Torquay - love the friendly service and great coffee. Addicted to their 'smashed avocado on sourdough with feta!' My partner had a 'big breakfast' which was pretty damn good!�

I had hair wash/cut,by a nice young lady... I bought some lunch... & some wax, fins & board cover & a book & DVD. & t~shirt.. Good service...prices were a bit to exii but!!!� But all in all ... Good shop.

Good food, good coffee, good times...perfect place for a perfect spring day.

Good coffee, staff, atmosphere and wifi! Highly recommend

A bit dangerous if you are even contemplating a new board. Knocking back a few frothies with mates who are always ready to encourage surf consumerism while being served by a barman with a pecuniary interest in the sale of surf hardware....... not a bad bar though.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Totally recommend.

Properly awesome staff, good food, sweet music, great vibes! Love it

Sevice was choice as , the surfboards were very hard not to pick up and buy so now I have to go explain why I needed to buy yet another surfboard to my wife

Great spot with reasonably priced food and drinks.

Visited with mates Derek Campbell & Adam Ferrari, relaxed atmosphere. Food & drink was great. Look forward to visiting again sometime.

Rude bar girl. Calamari way overpriced. About $18 and you barely get anything

Average to poor Coffee. Average service. Lucky its a cool hangout...

Great atmosphere, coffee and customer service!

Awesome vibe, snacks and Max and the crew make a great coffee !!

Amazing... Boards, Beers, Burgers & Barbershop.... WHAAAAAAT.!
