Good casual pub. I do find it a bit noisy, but I could be showing my age. Not sure what they are thinking with the piano man on Saturday nights; from what I can see people are more likely to leave than come for that. More

$8 pint of guinnes happy hour. Otherwise, $11. The food is great. I had an Irish beef stew, and it was better than expected. Chips are good too. It is not the most Irish vibe pub I have gone to in Sydney, but it is OK, especially during the happy hour for an early drink. It's one of the best places around, anyway.

The meals at the Coach and Horses Hotel are great value. The portions are substantial and most of our food was extremely tasty. The mash was the only thing that could have been better as it was bland. A highlight was the Irish cheesy chips, curry sauce and chicken which was delicious.

Pork ribs were fantastic. Curry sauce on chips was overly sweet and tasted like it came from a jar of pataks. I was the only person in there eating and the food buzzer didn't work. 3 guys standing around behind counter ended up yelling over to me to come and collect my food, so who knows how long it had been sitting on the pass. Why one of them couldn't' have run it out to me, shows a severe lack of customer service.

From my first contact with Marty, every step forward was seamless. Nothing was too much trouble. We held our end of year Pickleball prizegiving night here. The food was exceptional. The service absolutely amazing. Richard the onsite manager, was so helpful and obliging. The girls behind the bar were friendly and welcoming. Chef Golam and his helper did an incredible job with the food and were also warm and friendly. We couldnt believe it! And to top it off, the other manager on duty (Kurt?), carried my goods to my car at the end of the evening. I highly recommend the staff and establishment. Service like this is rare these days. Well done team. And thankyou very, very much. On behalf of Bondi Pickleball Club

The good old classic pub. Got myself a rump steak that was cooked perfectly. The chef did a great job. Coming to eat here is just so easy and simple no hassle reasonably priced. If you want to just sit down with your mates have a beer watch some sport or bring your family. Great place to do it. Yeah this place doesn’t have the fancy bells and whistles but it’s just homely simple and a great environment to have a meal have a drink. Hang out with your friends. we will keep coming back.
