Friday night in the Gong 11.25pm. Not that late for a bar that prides itself on its cheese. We only…read morewanted a whisky and a bit of cheese; not much to ask for really. The young waitress stated in no uncertain terms "kitchen's closed". My friend said "do you need a kitchen for a bit of cheese?" She advised she wanted to get out and go home. Service is not a strong point. Won't be going back.

On a quick getaway to Wollongong from Sydney (decided at 4pm Friday to drive down for the night) we…read morewere stuck for a place to eat. Came across Kneading Ruby (separate review). We had to wait over an hour for a table for 2! So wondered down the lane and came across Humber Bar. What a great find. The multi level bar had a great relaxed vibe. It had a mixed crowd they were mostly young but to be expected on a Friday night. We were shown to the rooftop bar, as they were at capacity downstairs. It's not a tall building and you are dwarfed by other buildings but there are no windows looking down at you and it was a comfortable spot. Ordering is done through your phone at the table. Simply scan the code, pick what you want, paid through Apple pay and drinks arrived in minutes. Since we were hungry and had about 90 minutes to wait (9pm dinner) we ordered some fried cauliflower (good) and hand cut chips (bad/soggy and greasy). The cocktails were average and i would have been better off going for a beer or 3.. Overall a great venue but could use a bit more attention to detail in their food and cocktails. The service was friendly and i could have happily stayed for hours but had to move on to dinner. A summers evening would be brilliant on the rooftop bar.

This experience left me as soggy as the bottom of my villain fries, so excuse the savagery…read more Villian fries were good, the cheeseburger was grainy and flavorless. Bbq sauce was too sweet. Had the coffee smoothie, was also disgusting. On the bright side they play decent music and the atmosphere is nice. So one star for the atmosphere and another for the Villian fries, which could have used more sauce or layer of cheese so you're not left with plain soggy fries at the bottom. Summary: Coffee smoothie a letdown, cheeseburger a grainy, flavorless letdown. Wouldn't come back. Wouldn't recommend it.

3.5/5 stars! Visiting from the states, got a midday brew…read morepost-beach here. Vibes were descent but there was not a lot of seating and many "private" outdoor couch areas that seemed to be barricaded off but not in use (I assume they were rented out to an incoming party.) The beer was well priced for the prime beach location and upbeat and lively interior. Not sure if specific to this bar as I have noticed a trend on my visit to AUS, the draft pour was something to giggle at, lol no complaints here tho.

If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. When we first arrived at Pepe's, the entire…read morerestaurant was empty. That should have been my clue to run!!!! However, my husband was tired and didn't want to spend the time looking for a different option. We order burgers with fries. The server threw our baskets and bolted before we could ask for napkins. I now know why she bolted-keep reading this review. The burgers were okay but nothing special. Next, our subpar experience went bad to worse. We noticed a roach! It was walking toward our table. At that point, I couldn't finish my meal and wanted to run. As we were walking out of restaurant, we noticed more roaches on the floor! Do yourself a favor and stay away from Pepe's!!!!

If you want to collapse onto a bench, out of the sun and eat a smoked hot dog, Dagwood, as the name…read moreimplies, is your place. The house dog is delicious - a bit of mayo, wasabi creme and fried shallots. The buffalo dog is eye-wateringly heavy on the sauce, but that's the Aussie way. The chips - thin, crunchy, and tossed in chilli salt are just as good and the servings are generous. The food is moist and flavoursome enough to not need copious alcohol to cut through the fat, but a cold one goes so well with the food. Good news - they now have an espresso machine!

I heart the Gong! Came here to watch the Tahs final while on vacation. Called ahead to make sure…read morethey were showing it which they were, and glad we chose this place on a whim because there were screens everywhere. They had multiple games on, at least a dozen beers and a few ciders on tap at slightly below average prices. All the standard fare for a hotel, although food came out slowly that's understandable given the place was packed to the rafters. They have deals during the week on food and drinks, but it was still affordable for a weekend night out. After the Tahs won they passed out free chips, which I think were just leftover from the bistro but still a nice gesture. All the staff were really friendly and attentive - they appeared to offer table service for some of the larger group tables, were quick to pick up empties, and made pleasant conversation while filling orders at the bar. It looks like a great place to have group events, and there's a dance floor/dj upstairs if you want to hire it for a private party. One was on the night we were there and it didn't interfere too much with the downstairs shenanigans. Poker room to the back and a beer garden with pool table outside added to the mix of customers. Overall, there's something for everyone here.
