A solid 4. Is it a great bar? Absolutely! Was it some nice pizzas? Yep! So why wasn't it 5 stars? Ok this comes down to personal preference. All in all the pizzas were great, I enjoyed our couple of pizzas and definitely wish I had ordered more! But! Both pizzas were very 'wet' in the middle with practically no crust. Soggy didn't quite explain it. Just so wet I figured it has gotta be the style and to that I did not enjoy at all. U can't even fold a u shape triangle to feed yourself cause it's just so saggy from the moisture. That said, flavour was there and I did wish I ordered an extra one. The menu was interesting for me, overall I felt like half the menu were very similar with just 1 or 2 ingredients different. We ordered the Kelso and the Brewongle and if it wasn't for the olives and mushroom you might think they are practically the same. I guess that was the point? Anyway, I'm not complaining. I enjoyed my lunch and I recommend this place! Come with some friends and you'd have a great afternoon! Even the LLB was above average read more

My wife and I shared the Hereford Pizza (slowed cooked pork belly, w caramelized granny smith apples), which came out very soon after we ordered. The pizza was very good, with a very crispy crust, minimal cheese and sauce. The serving size is decent; a full meal for one person or can be shared. The list of pizzas and ingredients are unlike other places I've tried (e.g. crocodile, pork belly). We will definitely stop back again to try some of there other creations. The service is decent, with patrons placing their orders at the bar, and them bringing the food out to you. The bartender who took our order was very nice. The decor is very hip, using a church building and keeping that theme going with low lighting, candles and minimal alterations to the original interior. As one review noted, it gets pretty loud in here when it's busy. There's also a patio, which would have been nice on a warmer day. There's a good selection of wines and cocktails. My only gripe about this place is that besides pizza and drinks, there's nothing in terms of appetizers. So you're either having a full pizza, or sharing, but there's no other in between options. However, as the pizzas are done so well here, this is a minor compliant. read more

Church Bar is pretty great anytime for delicious woodfired gourmet pizzas or just for drinks. It's housed in an old church school house and makes for a lovely setting both indoors with its low lighting and original features, or outdoors in the courtyard. There are local wines and beers plus a cocktail list. The pizza menu includes more than twenty mouthwatering combos and are named after the main streets in the town. There's also a dessert pizza if you somehow still have room left at the end of your meal! On my first visit I was here for dinner with family and had the 'Russell' pizza - sautéed mushrooms, grilled asparagus, mozzarella, topped with a poached egg and drizzled with truffle oil - very moreish! Another night we'd already had dinner earlier that evening but popped in to join family and friends for drinks and a snack of garlic pizza bread to share. It's a popular place and does get noisy inside when it's busy but outside is quieter if you need a little less volume. read more

Church Bar & Woodfired Pizza - The Bar @ Church Bar - Pizza Near Me - Bathurst, NSW

Amazing venue: live music, outdoor seating, converted church with soaring ceilings. Food was top notch: gourmet pizza toppings on thin crispy crust from wood fired oven Service: friendly but typically overwhelmed on a lovely summer night We will definitely be back read more

Excellent pizza. Delicious cocktails (on the expensive side though, $13-16 for the signature ones) and drinks. A good place to have a large group dinner out but make sure you book a table, especially on the weekend. The outside area is really nice and bit quieter choice when the weather is good. read more

Their Sunday special for uni students and cheap cocktails are a must to chill on a lazy Sunday night.

Came in for Sunday Mass and was sorely disappointed. Beer and pizzas we're great but no eternal salvation.
