    It's been the third time we've been coming here.. never disappointed so far! The greetings is friendly, the place is gorgeous and relaxed, the service is fun and quick, the food is always beautiful presented, well portion and good price! Highly recommend it! Ps. The Neptune Salad is my favourite 😋😋😋

    Views were amazing as seaside dining mostly is. Customer service was a lot to be desired! A group of 5 of us they stuffed one of the orders and left my mate waiting until we all finished our meals before his came out with no apology from the wait staff. The manager was apologetic and gave us a free round how ever I get the feeling customer focus isn't their strong point. Meals are very overpriced for what you receive two hours after we had to find something out to eat.

    Our initial visit to Harrigan’s began in confusion. The girls at the entry had no idea what we meant by accompanying support of the vocalist/entertainer. We ended up at a table for four when there was ready a table booked for 10. Nevertheless, the place itself is a great landmark with picturesque water views and bustling weekend atmosphere. The food was good, presented quite well on plates and our drinks were at the right temperatures. Overall, staff were friendly and service wasn’t slow. There’s a boat ramp available for boaters. Also, It has a good patch of grass big enough for a helipad / landing area. Could comfortably land an R22 or R44 safely. This would create an invitation to new clientele and a bit of excitement for seated customers. Maybe something the owner might want to consider. After all, it’s in a lovely spot.

    The beautiful landscape around the building adds to the charm. We only had a quick drink but will return for lunch..

    Had an Xmas work function there recently with a set menu, the table set up was really nice and definitely better than the internal decor. Food was better than expected and the service was great. I have been here before for a lunch and that was pretty decent too from memory. One thing which almost lost a star - no one asked how we liked the steak done. For me it was medium and I prefer medium rare, but it was excellent for medium so I left it five stars.🙂

    Nothing spectacular here. Being Fathers Day I expected it to be busier. There was no staff on entry to guide us to our table so we had to wonder around looking for our family. Not knowing there was a marquee outside it took us 10 mins to find our table. The marquee had a fridge with drinks to purchase but that was locked and there was no attending staff. The majority of tables were empty but they were riddled with dirty dishes and there was food scraps and rubbish all over the floor. Being an extremely windy day I believe that some of the paper rubbish and mentos wrappers would make its way into the canal! The marquee felt claustrophobic so I recommend consideration of changing the canal side of the marquee lining to a clear lining so customers can look out enjoy the view of the water. Our lunch arrived quickly after ordering but had to wait for staff to return with cutlery. Meals were average. I ordered meatlovers pizza but very little meat was in the topping of the pizza as it was mostly dough bread base and my husband disliked the very crunchy vegetables with his chicken schnitzel.

    The food was outstanding for a pub restaurant. It was reasonably priced , tasty and well presented. We came on a calm warm Winter's day by boat. Very busy jetty but managed to get a spot. We reserved a table for 10 outside. Great decision as they had a 2 piece band playing covers from the 70s 80s and 90s.

    My fiance and I came to celebrate our anniversary. This is our second time coming. I was hoping to get the salad I had the first time we came. However, felt a little disappointed as I didn't get the same salad I got last time. Not only it didn't look the same but was also missing avocado and there was less chicken as well.

    This is a great place to spend with family and friends. The food was fantastic, good quality and didn't take long to arrive. Chips were delicious!! Beer selection is also quit good. Prices are very reasonable and affordable. The staff was friendly and bathroom was cleaned. After lunch we were for a walk along the river and it was absolutely beautiful, with the yatchs completing the picture. Highly recommended.

    I have been looking forward to an ice cold creamy Guinness for a long time, and was not disappointed! Harrigan's was quiet on the day of our visit. The food was almost perfect (not as hot as it could have been, so that's the only reason for 1 star off) The location was great and had a good variety of indoor and outdoor seating. We had the Beef and Guinness with mash and veges, the Wagyu Burger with maple bacon and caramelised onions and chips, and the pork belly with mash and veges. $108 including 2 pints of Guinness and one pint of Shandy. I thought this was very good value and will return again for sure. See photos for food, beer, menus and seating. Thanks to the staff for making our experience one to remember. Added a couple of new photos from our last visit. BBQ meat platter ($50, but serves 2) and beef and Guinness pot pie again! We also had the cheesy garlic bread which was EPIC (sorry, no photo as we were keen to dig in!) We also had a pasta salad which was unfortunately served tepid (sent back to be reheated). Then on tasting it, the roast pumpkin had cinnamon on which we felt unnecessary and not mentioned on the menu. It ended up being returned for a refund. Don't let this put you off. Harrigans is still a great place for a leisurely lunch. Off peak during the week is definitely the way to go!

    Enjoyed our lunch there yesterday (09/09/21). We ordered the Creamy Garlic Prawns, Salt & Pepper Calami and Sirloin Steak with chips, salad and pepper sauce. The entrées, salad and chips were surprisingly good and well presented. For the price, it's good value, but if you're a rare steak eater, I would recommend ordering blue, as ours were both medium rare. It was a very tasty steak all the same.

  • 1/5 Aidan V. 2 years ago on Google
    Really disappointed with the food, ordered the Ribs and wings meal, wings were nice, ribs average flavour and very chewy, wife ordered the Crispy Skin Pork Belly, skin was soft, asked for a new one, second one looked a little burnt.. but still soft, had a side salad but couldn’t eat that because it was drenched in a sour Vinaigrette, and trying to eat all this on a wobbly table. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, live band was good.

    Went to Red Hot Summer Tour with Icehouse. Situated right by the water, Harrigans Pub had a nice cosy vintage feeling. Marina next door so you could arrive by boat also. Will be back to check out their pub meals.

  • 2/5 Meowjestix 1 year ago on Google
    It was OK, wouldn’t return though. The environment is nice, had live music. Had to wait a while to get drinks. I ordered chicken parmigiana and it was really dry/overcooked, the cheese and sauce was very weird, did not taste like a typical parmigiana and was very disappointing overall. The chips weren't fresh at all and had no seasoning and the gravy was really gross too

    Awesome place to come dine after fishing around Jacobs Well, Cabage Tree Point, and Lake Royal Palms Park (see pic). Pretty standard pub feed but a great Irish venue

  • 2/5 Yvette B. 10 months ago on Google
    I see my niece hasn’t left a review. I think it needs to be said, dined there last month & ordered chicken schnitzel burgers, whilst 2 servings were acceptable, 1 had raw chicken in the centre. Waitress was very apologetic, manager could barely manage a “sorry about that”!!! Although they did offer to cook another meal or issue a refund, she chose the refund, there was no real apology! Definitely won’t be returning.

    Really busy place. Took nearly two hours for the food but really enjoyed it. Great band, relaxing atmosphere

  • 4/5 Tricia (. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent lunchtime and evening week days specials menu. Nice selection of menu items and very fair portions. Lovely outdoor setting in sun overlooking waterway and marina. Highly recommend if visiting the area!

    We found the food absolutely delicious, with good size portions and reasonable prices. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although it was very busy, service was prompt.

    Stopped by Harrigans on Calypso Bay for a quiet sit on the bank. Had a lovely cider,and listened to the and play. There was a long line for lunch, so we opted to just have a beverage and relax.seemed tobe. Lot of happy patron's.

  • 5/5 Colin P. 8 months ago on Google
    Old Irish pub vibes. Very wood fire and thick carpets type feel. This venue lends itself to cold winter days and hot summer cocktail drinks. Situated in the marina surrounded by boats is the perfect setting for drinks and dinner. There are the usual pokies and gaming. The open lawns can be hired for functions. Nice oasis out of town.

  • 2/5 Hayley J. 5 months ago on Google
    Loud music, sticky tables, very bright carpet and furnishings. The special pasta of the day has sweet, cinnamon tasting pumpkin in it and was served cold. Tasted pretty terrible, so was sent back and given a refund. I wouldn't recommend this dish. The cheesy garlic bread is great though, and the bench seats are nice and comfy.

  • 4/5 Joseph L. 5 months ago on Google
    The place feels pretty roomy, well placed tables inside and outside. The food is OK, seafood and chicken dishes are better choices than beef. The salad mix is need improvement.
