Neil Gehrke
3 months agoGood friendly service. Food was great. Great views.
Andrew Neill
2 years agoWe have stopped here a few times in the few days on the island and everytime the service and quality of food and drink has been exceptional. They have a great selection of drinks and food available and the ability to order from your table makes life so much easier. The fries are exceptional we have been back twice specifically to have them and suspect we will be back again before we leave the Island. Only downside in May is it can be a little chilly sitting outside and the birds are very brazen so be aware you may have to fight them off. Also if it is busy they can runout of seating.

11 months agoGreat food, cold tap beer a big plus. Over friendly wildlife makes for some laughs.
Frank Pineda
5 years agoExcellent food and service. A little bit crowded when we were so food took a little bit to serve. However they informed us beforehand. Wait was worth it. Prices were reasonable considering where you are. We ordered meaty nachos, Chicken parmi, Angus burger and chicken salad and they were all delicious. Regularly those 5 dishes will cost around $120 but we got it included in a voucher from Whitsundays Cruise.

11 months agoWe shared a light lunch consisting of cheesy garlic bread and a delicious and generous Caesar salad. The place was packed but our food arrived about 10 minutes after ordering.

5 months agoGreat pub/tavern setting. Facilities are great, pool tables, gaming if you are into it but the dining areas are huge. Live band, good pub tucker and friendly staff. Spoke to Lilly behind the bar and where we ordered food and she went above and beyond to make us at home. Lovely lass. Food was good.

month agoWe really enjoyed the Tavern! It was loud and boisterous but that was expected. The staff were very friendly and obviously very overworked but made everything seem so easy and fun! We were a group of 6 from ages 5 to 78 and everyone was happy with their food. We are all vegetarians and the veggie wraps were truly WONDERFUL!!!

month agoWe arrived a little late for a meal and to watch origin, so had to line up, but staff were fantastic, trying their best to get us seated asap. The wait for the kitchen was long, but we appreciate they were super busy. When the TV near was not picking up the Origin, we were offered a new table right next to a TV. Food was delicious, and we had a great view to the game. Thank you!

4 months agoA pub on the waterfront overlooking the marina from the deck. Really easy, obviously popular with a relaxed vibe. Staff were really friendly, and capable, for both drinks and food service. Food and drinks can be ordered from the table by scanning the token on the table with your phone or order with the staff circulating around the tables. Pub vibe with the footy and sports on the TV if that appeals, and plenty of different seating zones. See the photos for our choices: linguini pasta with prawns; focaccia, and a wagyu burger. All tasty, solid pub food with a bit more. Good range of cold beer on tap, and cocktails too. This is a great laid back dining option on HI. Highly recommended.
