The Auburn Hotel - Wine bar/bistro seating

The Auburn Hotel

(5 reviews)

I would say that this place was a bit of a surprise, but in reality, it really wasn't. I guess I…read morewas expecting just your normal, every day, pub but it turned out that this place was rather different. I guess having a room that happens to be a wine bar would do that to a place. Then again, the mere mention of the word wine bar sort of sends shivers through me, but as a pub, this place was actually not bad at all. Sure, they have a wine bar in it, but they also serve beer, and they also have a rather nice, and quite large, outdoor area. Oh, and the beers they have on offer are also pretty good.

New life has been breathed into what was the former Geebung. New life that really was desperately…read moreneeded. Welcome back the auburn hotel _ established in 1888 - with a little break here and there. As a semi regular - I've watched the slow transformation of the auburn including the menu over the past 12 months to a shorter and sharper offering. Shorter and I think sadly a little too pricey for what it delivers. The real change has been the overhaul of the back room from a grimy pub to a refined dining space. The courtyard area has been doubled and is now a really inviting area with communal benches, mod grass and umbrellas. It's actually s place you want to hang out at now for a sneaky drink. I've been suitably impressed by the impression that the auburn delivers. But... There is still an annoying thing that remain from the Geebung days - e.g. Ordering times - way too long to deliver something like a basic Parma. Previously there used to be "special nights" to entice the locals in - these are all gone with the exception of Tuesday steak night. A little disappointing to be honest as the menu pricing for anything other than a ladies Parma is too rich for most people to go to most nights or on a whim - which is what was great about specials nights. I like what the auburn is trying to achieve. I like the atmosphere they are trying to curate. I (mostly) like the simplified menu but I think they've missed the point of a lovely local when it comes to pricing (9.50 for a side green salad anybody?) and this really needs to be addressed to make it the wonderful local that we will all frequent. 4 for vibe - 2 for menu/pricing. Overall 3 - just. Because I can't do a half star and that pricing is not feeling right to me.

Madeline's at Jells - Chicken Club Sandwich with fries and I added in a BBQ sauce.

Wonderful location, a very nice view of the grasslands of Jells Park…read more A relaxing atmosphere. A beautiful place to be. First time here. The Chicken Club Sandwich had a lot of good things going for it, a nice mixture of ingredients, so it didn't get boring throughout. A top notch sandwich. The quality of the Sandwich saved the day. Because with the drinks there was some room for improvement. My iced coffee was mediocre, dull and lacklustre. I'm going to give them another go, perhaps I ordered the wrong type of drink, next time I'm going to go with my first instinct and get a Blue Heaven Milkshake instead of looking at the iced drinks menu. I would go back, because this place has potential to be very good. Overall it did get the pass from both of us. A good experience, 3 stars this time. There's also a canteen next door to the Cafe for some more easy going desserts. I got my friend a Milo Scoop shake, while I took the dogs for a walk around the footpaths. Enjoy.

Went here for lunch Tuesday. Lovely location and view of the lake as you eat but quite pricy for…read morewhat you get. $20 for their pulled pork sandwich where the meat was cold in it and then an extra $5 for some chips. It was reasonably tasty but was disappointed they had forgot to reheat the pulled pork. The service was a little aloof too-just a little slow and they said they would grab us the bill then started wiping down empty tables. It was pleasant enough but really very pricey for what it was.
