Their beds and carpet could use with an upgrade. The actual pub attached is fantastic though. The beer is cold and service is friendly. It has a small bistro that serves great food at a reasonable price. The chicken schnitzel with chips and gravy is probably the best value. It's enormous!

This pub was actually pretty cool, especially considering some of the other pubs that I have…read morevisited earlier in the day in this so called tourist spot known as the Blue Mountains. The first thing that stood out was the beautiful old building that the pub happens to be located in, but then again, I suspect that this old building has always been a pub. The thing that really grabbed me though, other than the beer garden of course, was the selection of beers on tap, something that I hadn't seen much of earlier in the day. As such, I pretty much fell in love with this place.

This is concerning the restaurant. Additionally, this review is all about the service…read more We went here as part of a tour group of 20. Our orders were taken ahead of time and called ahead by our tour guide. First, let me say, we found the food quite tasty. I had the vegetarian burger with eggplant and chipotle sauce. It was flavorful, well seasoned, and accompanied by perfect hot chips. My husband also enjoyed his grilled fish and chips with tartare sauce. Despite being in a remote mountain town, it was as food or better than anything we had eaten in Sydney. The restaurant itself was quaint and cozy and had beautiful views of the Blue Mountains. But then there was the service. And that's where the three stars come in. It would have been five stars otherwise. One member of our tour group changed their order. Then there was a simple to fix mix up between my order and the order of another group member. The staff member (unsure if he was a server or kitchen manager or what) LOUDLY proclaimed what a pain tour groups are and how ridiculous we all were. He then stomped off. And when he returned, he was extremely RUDE to the group leader. These tour groups must bring hundreds of dollars to this small town restaurant. They bring multiple tours of 20+ people each week. If they don't care about them, I can't imagine this establishment cares about anyone. I don't care how good the food is, I would never return after being treated like trash.

Good food. Poor service. Messed up our drink order (ordered…read more2, poured 3). Food order was lost or forgotten.

It didn't disappoint. Old weather-eaten tradies in hi-vis propped up the bar talking about their missing teeth, the matronly woman behind the taps was almost certainly called Beryl, and Tooheys New was like $4.50 a jar or something similarly great. It's old, it's careworn, it's dripping with history and the blue mountains and everything great about this great land. Not a lot of women in here though.

Any Hotel that had a pool table these days gets my vote .... so the fact this one has two .... gets two stars just for that. After spending the night before at Leura ..... at the Alexandria Hotel ..... it's kind of hard to believe that they are both owned by the same family. One the crown in the area ..... the other the poor alternative. On a positive note .... not everything has to be brand new, up to date ...... it just has to work, serve cold beer and ok meals ..... which it does. Give it a go ..... nothing to loose except maybe a few hours on the pool table.

They do food that won't disappoint. A good special on Monday's is ribs and a pint for $25 (can substitute the pint). The service is there when you need it but not annoying.

The steaks are great, I can highly recommend the Beef Parmigana & they are very good with the doggie bags if you cannot finish your meals. The family enjoys coming here, kids are welcome.

First and foremost its a friendly pub on the corner of William and Russell Streets. That puts it in the middle of town within walking distance of a heap of cafes and eateries. You don't need to go far to find good food though as the bistro at the back of the pub does great meals - most of which are under 20 bucks. There is guest parking out the back but its a bit disjointed to get from the carpark to the hotel. Doesn't matter though as there is heaps of on street parking out the front. From the front of the hotel there is a separate after hours entry for guests staying at the hotel and lift if you can't be bothered with stairs (there's only two levels) The rooms are plenty big enough and have been refurbished so they're a lot more modern than your typical room above a pub. The room I stayed in had a queen bed, all new furniture, bar fridge, kettle and coffee condiments, flat screen tv on the wall, and a good sized bathroom with a shower. It was also really warm and quiet which surprised me considering its a pub in the middle of town! The TV reception was a bit hit and miss but with free wi-fi and Netflix it didn't bother me in the slightest. At night you fill in a breakfast order and tick off what you want and at what time. Then you head to the bistro in the morning at that time and your hot breakfast awaits. The servings sizes are huge too. I don't think I saw anyone actually finish their whole breakfast. They also have tea, coffee, toast, cereal etc available.
