    I loved it, well 4pm Wednesday afternoon I loved it. I'll swing back past here, it slowed to home. Love the scenery, I just wish the plants were real, they got Melbourne on tap so that's good to. Pool table and beer gardens. This place has more then meets the eye. I'll be back.

    Sloth is my local and my favourite. I love it so much. The bar tenders are legends and the venue is really cute. It's sloth themed dive bar vibes. Love their cider and they make delicious cocktails. You can also bring food from external to the bar.

    It's a cute little bar and the staff are really friendly. The only unfortunate issue is that the beer garden is small and the music is a bit loud so the other patrons tend to shout which makes it hard to hear each other over all the noise. The lighting out there is nice and intmate though so it's a good place to consider for a date or just to chill with friends with a nice surrounding

    Great beer! (including a well priced and refreshing house beer on tap), Cosy main room, nice upstairs area, cute balcony, very charming beer garden. It's a great freaking place for a couple beers after work, or a night of getting saucy! WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT????????

    Cool bar. A bunch of different areas to sit and drink . One of my favourite things about this place is that you can go next door to the pizza shop and order a pizza and they will bring to you at the bar! Including the garden bar out the back

    Incredible vibe, friendly & charismatic staff, phenomenal bar selection! Had a great chat with the team whilst sipping a cold one at the end of a long day at work. Wish I lived closer, Sloth would definitely be my watering hole.

  • 5/5 Tim K. 3 months ago on Google • 54 reviews New
    An epic venue that has an open mic night on a Thursday and Tuesday night with a very significant markdown on rum. Is it the best in the west? Oh my certainly

  • 5/5 Mel C. 11 months ago on Google
    Went here late Saturday arvo for some pints with mates and when I walked in I instantly felt at home: it’s just the kind of relaxed, divey bar I love to go to. At this time it wasn’t too loud or crowded. We sat in the beer garden where I was thrilled to look in the ‘Play School’ arched window. I would happily have spent hours here but sadly we had to head off.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute little bar, great atmosphere

  • 5/5 Ashley N. 3 years ago on Google
    Always friendly staff. Cool vibes with board games and card games like uno. Drinks are not too pricey and jugs are available. Only downside is the place is a little small and closes early but nice place to catch up for a few and game. Also they have a pool table.

  • 5/5 Jason T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Indoor, outdoor, upstairs, balcony areas. Small pool table. 6 tap beers on offer

  • 5/5 Josh E. 10 months ago on Google
    Yeah mate. With inflation and all, really affordable bar, good atmosphere and friendly staff. If you're in Barkly for a meal and want a drink; come here

  • 5/5 James H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar, in a great location. They don't have food but you can bring in food from local restaurants 👍

  • 5/5 Kree H. 1 year ago on Google
    Phoebe & Mary were absolutely superb. The Chain - Fleetwood Max was playing as I got my Bloody Mary, great Sunday!

  • 3/5 Peter E. 2 years ago on Google
    Typical bar, nothing special. Staff are a bit unfriendly about the Covid restrictions. You'll simply have "we're full" yelled at you from behind the bar.

  • 5/5 윤윤 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Ajay R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the bartenders was fairly rude to me and some of my friends. But overall a nice venue.

  • 5/5 Michael G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ales, Stouts, happy faces, and helpful staff. Good trivia night, Wednesday night, and good specials. Pizza next door is also great!
