Formally a giant of the St George region, now a cynical pokie den with miserable staff and miserable entertainment value outside feeding the tradesman's laptops. A pub that once featured live music, pool tables, a Juke box, arcade games and friendly locals is now nothing more than an avenue for tax donations to the state government via the reverse ATMs. You might get lucky on a Friday evening with the footy turned on and a meat tray win but usually you'll be scowled at for enjoying yourself for fear of upsetting someone putting their last $20 into the Pensioner's PC. Avoid unless you have to.

As with most pubs in the local area, this bistro has mainly an asian selection. Surprisingly though, their steaks were great and at a reasonable price too. It's not the most flashy of pubs to eat at but it's worth a try if you're in the area. Unfortunately the outdoor eating area is limited but the front balcony is nice to eat at if you're not surrounded by smokers.

I will start by saying that I do still sort of like this pub because it's dog friendly and has a nice friendly local feel amongst the patrons. BUT I will say I used to LOVE this pub WHEN it had music playing (now it's silence), a POOL table (in an apartment dense suburb this was an attraction, now it's gone) and a fabulous Mexican bistro (gone! Now there is just pokies). If I owned this pub I would address these issues as it is driving us locals away in droves.... Also, no eftpos in 2018?

Fall off the train close, this pub has a great atmosphere, a very wide mix of people and a happy vibe that kept our night going strong. One staff member picked up on a person in our group as being drunk, and kept asking if we were buying drinks for him when we came to the bar. They believed he should be cut off. He was tipsy at best, and was simply distracted by a bet he was watching on his phone, however the close observation and concern for our safety was appreciated and after explaining, all went back to normal. This is the first pub I have seen do this, and I greatly appreciate it. Some renovations are underway and I expect the update will be interesting (don't want to give away too much), hopefully this will peak your interest enough to take a look? All the staff, were friendly, happy, communicating well and have made me want to return I will update if I learn about accommodation

Very strange! Not even a bit drunk and they don't serve drinks. Just seeing faces and being racist or what? I do have my RSA as well and I know what reponsible drinking means! Owner can please check the camera and explain me why I'm not allowed to drink. I went to talk with manager as well but he doesn't even wants to listen what customers says. According to RSA, if I'm even drunk, I should be asked if I want to drink water. Very strange place!!!! Manager don't have his RSA RCG I guess. I'm playing slot machine and enjoying but the manager on 27/04/2022 - very strange and not allowing drinks.

Possibly the best pub in all of St. George.

Good friendly local hotel Just like Cheers, but not.

this pub used to be a hell of a lot better. main bar is now just an annex to the pokie room. bored, disinterested service for the drinkers and zero atmosphere. will seek schooners elsewhere.

Guinness beer doesn’t taste like Guinness. Customer service at the bar is so poor. The manager will never reed the situation before giving your money back together with a bad time.

The manager was rude, poor customer service abilities, beer tasted metallic and she just gave us an attitude without even assessing the situation.

Need new staff the one's that work there now are rude . The owner needs to get rid of the staff and get a ppl that are helpful and rude.

Renovations seem to be taking a long time

Only interests is the games room 🎰

Pretty rough and miserable place. Perpetually has drunks hanging around outside yelling at passers by. The new LED billboard they installed outside blazes like the sun in the nighttime, pretty trashy. I think it's bad for the reputation of mortdale. Penshurst hotel has a much better bistro too

I was out looking for a boy day out I called in and had 2 quick schooners off toooheys old it was very enjoyable and will call again 🍻
