We dropped our bags on a table and the girl taking orders was helpful and patient with us while we made our choices. Turns out it was pizza night, all you can eat for $15. Husband was in heaven! Technically everyone at the table has to order it, but our girl let me order pasta carbonara. We got our beers and a buzzer for food pickup. The room was busy, but a bunch of tables left and staff stayed on it to clear and set the tables for new customers. Pizza was delivered and shortly after the buzzer went off. Everything was delicious! This place is well worth stopping for food and drink. It's noisy, but in a good way!

Although a little pricey we would definitely come back and eat here again. We had the: 1) half pork ribs in the BBQ sauce - a little dry, so ask for extra sauce 2) Mac and cheese - very tasty with bacon bits 3) chicken wings - best we have tasted out of the USA, although the blue cheese mayo dip was not so good, make sure to ask for a side of ranch. Extensive cocktail list and plenty of beer on tap. Make sure to try the Guava-Tini very nice :)

I'm not sure what is more…read moreconfusing: the fact that it is named after an American football term; or the fact that they couldn't make a basic cocktail correctly. (More on that later). The vibe here was laid back sports bar with a focus on beers, wine and simple drinks. Sadly, the beer list was short and standard (Australian macrobrews like VB, Carlton, etc.) The short food list was actually better than I expected, with a selection of apps (wings, meatballs), entrees (burgers, steak, salmon) and desserts. It was certainly enough to suit me, so I ate here for dinner and watched some local sports (continuing my increasing fascination with cricket). My burger and fries were pretty good, and just what I wanted. But after a few mediocre beers I decided to test the bar by ordering something basic. Specifically, I asked for an Old Fashioned (It's a never-ending quest). The young bartender got busy, muddling some fruit, adding sugar and bitters, before finally adding the liquor (which I couldn't see). The result tasted familiar, but strange...REALLY strange. I sipped slowly, but it never got any better. After about 15 minutes, the bartender proudly showed me the single malt scotch he made it with... [Insert Forehead Slap here]. No wonder it tasted strange - This drink is made with Rye or Bourbon only; and what a waste of a single malt! Dear management- you might want to think about training your bartenders to do something more than pour wine and beer.

Nice ocean views in NSW…read more We had half a day to kill before our flight so one of the Bell Men at the Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney suggested we go down to Cronulla and have lunch at the RSL club on the beach since he mentioned it had a great view and was very affordable. We found the Cronulla RSL at the very south end of the beach next to a a very large public parking lot, just as we were leaving our car. Luckily we parked at that end or we would have never have found it! When we came in there was kiosk where we had to register as guests since it is also a club. Then we went to the dining area/restaurant. There was a very large indoor dining area as well as a small covered and uncovered deck. The dining room has large windows so on a colder day you could still get a great view of Cronulla Bay. Surprisingly the restaurant has a quick service setup where you go to a counter and order your food and if you are sitting out on the deck they give you a buzzer. The bar is the same where you have to queue up and order your beer or other cocktails. There was also a water station by the patio. Since we were in Australia we ordered the Barramundi, again, which is meaty whitefish with the consistency of salmon, and the BBQ Shrimp. The "Barra" was served with a corn and veg ragout and baked sweet potato rounds. The ragout seemed fresh but I could not tell if the corn was fresh, frozen, or from a can. The Seet potato rounds were a little over baked/fried. The fish was very tender and moist and seasoned pretty well. The grilled shrimps were done with a garlic marinade and came on a bed of fries and a green salad with a balsamic dressing. The shrimp was butterflied and was not overcooked. The food all comes on ceramic plates and they have large eating utensils and dinner napkins. I would definitely go back for the view as the food was good, but not awesome.

Granted, it was the middle of the afternoon, so I wouldn't have expected the messy drunks to turn up in any case. The bartenders were really friendly and accommodating, flashing smiles all around, which always makes customers feel better. Their cider, by the way, is the most delicious thing I've tasted in a while. It tastes almost like really strong sparkling apple juice, and is no less intoxicating for its deliciousness, not to worry. They have two well-maintained pool tables, the cues are unbroken and unblemished (which is a rarity in pubs, I've noticed), and they don't have any balls missing! Another rarity. The premises is really clean and well-kept, as well as being air-conditioned (though not too cold.. too cold defeats the purpose a bit, doesn't it) to perfection. I like it, I would go here again for a drink if I'm in the area.

The coffee was not out of a machine but made properly - barista style - and it was delicious. Like a high end Sydney city cafe coffee. This same man was super polite and had a kind face. I feel he deserves a special mention as I could see him working hard all night to keep the place clean and make sure people were well hydrated. There are pokies in the main area and a sectioned off smoking area with machines also. Smokers will understand just how amazing this is. Honestly, I'm unsure if this is the norm here as I live in Qld but I was tickled pink. Aside from that the layout is what you would expect from a club of this kind but it was pleasantly clean. If I could give any feedback I would suggest upgrading the hand dryers in the unisex bathroom as it takes a long time to dry your hands. As everything is in the one room - toilet, basin and dryer - it makes me feel as though I'm in the toilet for a suspicious length of time... Don't want people thinking your doing a number two.. *cough, cough* All in all, a great venue. Kudos Steelers. I tip my hat to you.

With such decor one could even mistake themselves for a dapper rifle-toting gentleman. The food however is not free. You are going to wish you used your rifle to kill your own food. I.e. If you want overpriced cuisine don't be afraid to come here. The fish and chip are tasty but not large or in any way special. This is OK really because next time your eyes will be drawn to the corn beef on the menu which is a refreshing sight (and taste, in a burger schnitzel driven pub food scene). You pay for the group-friendly tables. Fit with leather backed benches and a TV to control as your own. American sports are available too - those NBA playoffs won't watch themselves in your work lunch break. When it's not busy the waitstaff are pretty accommodating too. This makes it the sports bar you've been looking for! 4 deer heads out of 5.

I love how this place does drinks - there's four taps of rotating craft beer/cider, and once they're out they tap a new flavour. They ran out of 2 beers while we were there, and a new keg was quickly tapped each time. They have cardboard signs serving as labels - an easy way to keep the signage current - and at $8-9/pint, its a great way to try different beers without damaging your wallet. For wine they only offer 1 red and 1 white each night, and those change daily. The cocktails are made with care, with a good selection of classics (martini, Manhattan) and some fruity modern conceptions as well. Food was quite good, despite some of the portions being small. The cheesesteak for $16 could easily be consumed in a few bites. The pulled pork for $16 was delicious, served between two toasted pieces of delicious bread (not the "hoagie" I was expecting, but some of the best pulled pork I've had in Australia), and a better serve than the cheesesteak. The sliders were, again, on the small side. At $4/each or 4 for $15, you'd need 4 to make a meal. I found the chicken sliders a bit bland, possibly being overpowered by the potatoes in the garlic mash. The beef sliders were much better, with a delicious pickle relish. Of course, I had to grab the wings (6 for $9 or 12 for $16) which were one of the standouts for the night. A bit sweet at first, they pack a bit of a punch with a heat that builds. The three chip options (chilli cheese fries, sweet potato wedges, and steak fries with chipotle mayo) were all pretty good. Rumour (or rather, Facebook) has it that this place does $0.50 wings and $5 hot dogs on Wednesdays - definitely worth checking out. Come early if you want a table - we managed to grab one of the last of them at 6 pm on a Saturday, and didn't see much turnover during our 3 hour stay.
