The Lumsden Free House

👍👍 This iconic pub has evolved to be a regular gathering hole for many. We watched the AFL final here cos it had the smarts to provide its venue as one of only a couple in the city. Well done and thank you!

Father Ted's Original Irish Pub

Irish pub

👍 Home away from home in the heart of the city - the staff are SO lovely, the NZ cider is dry and tasty, the Guinness is good, and they have a pool table! The music is perfect. Sure it's a bit pokey but the people make up for it. I'm a big fan of the outdoor bench. Long live Father Ted's and don't for...

The Alex Sports Bar & Eatery

😐 Good place to watch sports and have a few drinks. The platter we got was not that nice but there was good volume. I'm sure other food on the menu are better.

North Park

Restaurant

👍👍 We arrived on a Friday night 8 minutes before the kitchen closed (at 8pm). We ordered the beef nachos (from recommendation in the other Google reviews) and beef burger. The food came really fast and was great. The staff were very friendly. We had a great time, including our dog.

Chancery Bistro

Hookah store

😠 I can't recommend this place at all. Service wasn't terrible, but below average. The food was terrible. Over priced. It's a pub, trying to be a restaurant? There's so many places in the CBD - enjoy your evening somewhere else.
