“Lovely to have a choice of craft beer”

Reviewed February 7, 2025

We are currently on a cruise with bottled Lagunitas the closest to craft beer so it was nice to come here and have a flight of 4 craft ales. A decent selection with good food as well. Service wasn’t the quickest and our person was new so wan’t able to tell us about the guest beer mentioned on the menu. But other than that we were pleasantly surprised by this bar. Great ocean views as well and decent value. The glasses in the flights were bigger than the we are used, which was nice!

The Seafood Bisque was amazingly delicious! It came with garlic bread and a finger bowl. The noise from the helicopter next door taking off and landing was annoying however. There is a good view of the harbour and boats .

Only in town for a few hours and we had 30mins to kill before our tour so popped in to order a round of beers. Tried to order beer at the bar but was told to go to our table (seemed good). Order taken and no sign of beers after 25mins. So with 5 mins to go before our tour, we went up to cancel our order …. But our order had been lost ….. any how…. We did try our best to give them our $$$$$

Sadly this is not up to the standard of what it was a year ago. The service was average but the meals weren't good. Three of the four meals we ordered were not warm enough (in fact 2 of them were barely warm). We asked the waitress to take them back and warm them further and she returned a short time later. They had obviously been microwaved and the chicken was tough and the poached egg was like cardboard. We will not be returning there unless the food improves.
