    It was lovely to get out of the cold to find a fire burning to warm up. I had black pudding croquet plus Colcannon with gravy which I really enjoyed. The only problem for me was the music was too loud but then I am 73.

    Went for dinner with friends on a Thursday. Started out quiet, but soon became quite loud and lively. It was also Steak Night, so my husband and I ordered the Porterhouse and it was cooked to specification. Service was adequately fast even on a busy night and the staff members were great. It was also Pub Quiz Night and that was fun, guessing the answers to the questions. It would be a good place to come back to.

    The steak night is great especially the scotch fillet! Every Thursday night. I come here regularly and have been told about the curry chicken so that’s what I ordered tonight and I wasn’t disappointed, it was delicious and the bloody Mary’s with the oyster were a nice accompaniment, a little spicy and really tasty.

    Unfortunately this pace is in steady decline.. new menu changes (probably to counter higher costs) have taken the away the local atmosphere and its clear to see in the deterioration of customers. Sunday Roast heavily discounted on Mondays to re-serve the slops. Tuesday pie and pint removed for frozen burgers, ect... hope this business survives rising expenses but not looking hopefully as the tactic seems to be to cheat the customer and hope they don't notice.

    Nice pub atmosphere. Food was good, good serving sizes. Meals were all well flavoured. And came out quickly Service was good, staff were friendly and prompt to clear tables. No table service unfortunately. Access is good for mobility impaired with ramp to access. Parking is ample but very busy being on the Scarborough foreshore. But free.

    Good deal for this beef burger on Tuesday, just $15... The Irish scene is very traditional. I'll probably be back for a Guinness next time...

    We were served by Ryan tonight. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer lad. Went out of his way to make hot whiskeys for us, which were incredible and really made our night. Great craic out of him and always ready for when we wanted another drink. Great night and great service. Happy lad and lady.

    Great vibe, great view, great staff and more importantly… great Guinness!! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s by far the best Irish pub I’ve been to since moving to Perth from Ireland! Recently went there and the staff were fantastic! They were flat out and still I always had a beer in my hand! I had an issue with a guy at the pub and went up to one of the bar staff called Riley I’m pretty sure her name was, made me right at ease and dealt with the guy! Mikey and Caoimhe were both so understanding about the situation I was in! Couldn’t fault these guys! 10/10 Make a decent curry chip too

    A special shout-out to Maggie who made me the sickest voddy soda ever. Made me absolutely tingle with passion. Thank you for igniting my inner-self. Keep inspiring Maggie!!!

    Normally I don’t leave reviews but I had a lovely evening here with some friends. I want to give a special shout out to the lovely Mary who was so friendly, welcoming and really helpful, although it was a flying visit we will be back!

    Those Maris Piper roast potatoes were the best ever. I stayed eating them because I couldn't waste them. The staff were lovely. Not pushy, super nice when asked a question or 2. Nice place. 4 people had 4 really nice meals.

    Recently visited with my daughter and we had the nicest pint of Guinness that we’ve had in our time in Australia! Warm, welcoming pub with great staff! Special shout out to the barman Anto who provided the entertainment for us, such a gentleman!

  • 5/5 Olivia S. 4 months ago on Google
    What a fantastic spot! Drinks were flowing with the silly season in full swing, and it was made all the better with Maggie’s service! She was attentive but not over the top and even remembered what everyone was drinking throughout the our evening which was a nice touch! If I could give more than 5 stars for service I would!!

    9.9/10 Guinness. Has me dreaming of my return. Staff are amazing, food was brilliant. Location great, watched the sunset go down. Top top pub! A must visit

  • 5/5 James H. 4 months ago on Google
    It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. However one little angel (maggie) made it an experience i will never forget, the pint of guinness she served me brought me to tears it was that good.

    Visited the establishment over the Christmas period with some mates and really enjoyed the atmosphere here. Anto the barman gave great service and was well able to remember our orders every time we ordered! Great service!

    I am from Spain. I come from tourism. They highly recommended this place to us. The drink is unbeatable. And the views are incredible. Jorge attended us, a very good guy and good professional. I recommend it if you want to eat well.

    Ok so I suffer from anxiety and all that fun stuff. Never felt so comfortable even in noisy busy place. Food was A1 and as we were away for wife's 30th they gave her a gift (money off) and had issues with ordering meal as its done online, manager was more then happy to help us fix it.

    Can be tough to get a good veggie meal at a pub - but this delivered. 👏👏 I had a delicious curry while watching the sunset after a pretty exhausting day. Service was great - and just the right amount of helpful. Lisa gave me all the info I needed with a smile, and made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our evening. Superb.

    Went out here for dinner on a friday night and it was very good, prices were fair and food was exceptional. I had the steak sandwich and it was extremely nice to eat, the steak was very tender

  • 5/5 Samuel M. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here for dinner on a super busy night and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. My steak was amazing - the best I ever remember having. The live music made for a bustling and upbeat atmosphere. There is plenty of nearby free parking only a short walk away and the Scarborough beach foreshore is right out the front, which is a nice view if you’re lucky to get an outdoor seat, or just for going for a stroll after dinner. I’ll be back.

    Delicious Sunday roast and very reasonably priced. Great venue with a view over the ocean. Really friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Louise F. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect! Always amazing Sunday roast, Guiness & entertainment. I'm vaccinated so I can still enjoy all the norms. Great work Galway 🙌

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere for watching a fight or races, service was great. They have out door seating as well as indoor. As for most pubs can get noisy when event is on TV etc which is normal.
