I’ve never encountered a worse experience ordering drinks at a bar. We were stone cold sober. Walked to the bar and were met by a mute barman. Said hello and got crickets. Just stared back blankly. I was looking for the hidden camera. The service could not have been worse. It was actually quite comical. We sat back laughing hysterically over a beer at just how bad it was. Then watched other poor customers wander up to the bar to be subjected to the same experience. It was a truly unforgettably bad experience yet hilarious at the same time.

How lovely were these ladies at the Sports Bar? We couldn't find anywhere to watch the netball. Tried Zane Grays, Pizza place - no joy.. Walked in and no problem.. Just changed the channel for us to catch the Ferns walk on for the first centre pass.. We'll be back! Thank you..!!

Been in twice asking if they were playing some sporting events. Guy behind bar was unbelievably rude. No way would I give them business.
