College Lawn Hotel

First time here and really impressed. Plenty of different seating areas with different vibes. Bar and floor staff were polite and friendly. Ruby specifically was brilliant and the tall blonde bar guy. Def coming back!

Five stars — and actually for a more interesting reason than everything simply being perfect from the outset. A couple of issues arose. Handled differently they could easily have turned the night into a disappointing experience. Instead, TABS (waitress) ended up demonstrating exactly what good hospitality should be. They were human mistakes; we mentioned them, it was friendly and warm at all times, and the staff immediately took ownership and turned things around. By the time we left, we were talking about how much we wanted to come back. Sarah at the bar was terrific from the start — fun, understanding and genuinely thorough in taking our order. Then Tabs was about as good a hostess/waitress as you could ask for. She made absolutely sure we got what we'd ordered and the way she dealt with it clearly reversed the earlier hiccup - it left us feeling genuinely looked after, when it could have gone a different way. TABS made our night, just by being a super person to talk to. And at the end of the day the steaks we ate were perfectly cooked. I can cook a good steak at home, so for me there has to be something more to make going out for steak worthwhile. This had it: great service, good banter, staff who were fun to deal with, and an evening that was just easy and really enjoyable. The two of us left having eaten excellent steaks, had a great time and feeling better about the place because of how the small problems were handled. That's hospitality done properly. I'll be back as often as I can.

Stopped by for a beer and had the best experience! Amazing pub, great atmosphere and the service was brilliant. Big shoutout to Maresa — she was so friendly and welcoming and made the visit even better. Will definitely be back! 🍻

Really good atmosphere on a weekend day, plenty of TV’s for when the footy is on. The beer garden and pub area is really spacious so it’s good to go with a team of people - overall really enjoyed this place and would definitely visit again - absolutely ideal for summer.
