Reviews of Huapai Tavern

K. R.

We had a very nice lunch and drinks. Kid's menu for grandson. Garden bar was clean and tidy lots of flowers in the well kept garden.

O. B.

We decided to stop off at Huapai Tavern for lunch on our way home from a night away, as it being Our 3 year wedding anniversary. THE STAFF: A+++ Friendly welcome at entry, Awesome Service, comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Big ups to the Chef & helping hands Seafood Chowder/Garlic bread & Crumbed Scallop meal was absolutely filling and so tasty, loved it! Quick to remedy our unfortunate mishap, as another patron stole our $20 from our machine in the gaming room, even though they didnt have too, much appreciated their hospitality and generous act. Thank you for a memorable time that's for sure! We will be back!

M. C.

Nice beer garden. But the food was awesome. It was cheap tasty and very filling. Highly recommend. We will be back.

M. L. R.

The food here is next level. Totally surprised and will definitely be back. Good value for money and friendly staff.

i. d.

A great place to go to for meals & a social drink. The staff are very friendly & helpful particularly during this Covid time made us feel quite at home. Pricing is realistic & well worth a visit.

M. M.

Bright, cheery, well managed bar. Plenty of food choices. Outdoor area. Great Guinness.

J. O.

Excellent food friendly staff highly recommend to all

t. r.

We were all welcomed when walked in, the service was great and so was the food

L. F.

Good cheap pub grub, great breakfasts available on Sundays from just $12. Staff always friendly. Nice outdoor seating area.

K.

Always a good place to have good food, a beer, fun, and bands come often to play.

K. C.

Always lovely meals and great atmosphere at this pub. They also have some fabulous bands playing on Sundays. This time , however, we were purely there for a drink and a meal . As usual high standard of meal and very tasty. Will be back.

L. M.

Lovely friendly staff and service. Great beer garden out the back.

E. C.

The staff were fabulous, the drinks ok, prices were what you would expect. If you are intending having a meal be selective. Had a shrimp cocktail, sauce a bit much, had seafood chowder which was gloop. Flavour ok but it stuck to the spoon. The prices for a pub kitchen were a bit much. When I took my mostly uneaten chowder back and said it wasn't chowder but gloop, there was no apology or offer of anything to replace it. Not likely to return.

M. P.

Friendly staff Great food Clean toilets Smoking areas Perfect 👍🏼

c. g.

Just went there on a Sunday for a change of scenery. Place was packed with a great band, The Sons, playing. Had some wedges, dont normally, and they were very nice. Great atmosphere. Will go again, probably next week.

Great staff great food good times cheers

P. M.

I got the fettuccine and shrimp cocktail to take away. The pasta was tasty but really little considering it was $21. I would try something else but was disappointed with what I got

T.

Our favourite local spot

R. C.

If you want to go to a true pub then this is it. Massive feeds, you won't go hungry, I've gone thru the menu and haven't had a bad experience yet. More beers than you can choose. Great out door area.Live music and Live sport. Tvs, tap-taps and pints, what more do you want?

G.

B.

Lovely meal, excellent staff.

T. P.

Only have 3 things to say about Monday & Tuesday night dinner specials DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS!!! Only $25 for my sirloin steak chips and salad with a complimentary drink. Best mushroom sauce this side of the southern hemisphere. Highly Recommend AAA+

N. M.

Great place right on the main road with plenty of parking. Full of character, friendly staff,relaxed atmosphere, big open fireplace, a menu with wide variety and the food was awsome highly recommend the seafood chowder and nachos. The prices were more than reasonable. Definitely recommend a visit if you are out that way.

D. T. “. R.

Absolutely perfect. Please focus on catering for the stressed out smokers and vapers. More plants needed. Get rid of the high stools and high tables. I work hard during the day. Get rid of the plastic chairs. Yuk. Strong metal chairs needed in the garden bar please. No babies in the 18 plus garden bar area. Chur to the Chur.

D.

Love the down to earth experience, and the local folk. Great Food/Bar The cost was as expected 👍

J. H.

Went here on a whim on sunday and they had a great atmosphere cold reasonable priced beers and wine and to top it off a great live band playing all round great experience

K. D.

Awesome local pub. Good beer, great service, exactly what you want from a pub meal.

J. F.

Foods great people friendly and a typical bar. Music was Father and Sons that day, they are incredible. Love going there when they are playing. Plenty of choices for food seafood chowder, we'll they know what they are doing beautiful, yummy and filling.

C. G.

What lovely staff, and the chips were so delicious - even when cold. I got caught up doing stuff which took my attention off my chips - they were delish hot, but also amazing cold. Hoping that the lady who fell off her chair and ended up going to hospital is okay.

R. H.

Always a great place for a beer and a snack/meal, great host, friendly staff.

C. F. S.

Issa pub Reminds me of my childhood pubs when Dad would take me to the bars and give me Shandy while he played the slots all night I remember one time when I was like 6 and he gave me $2 for a gumball but I went and played the pokie and won $20, but then he made me let my brother play with my winnings and he lost it all Food was real good value and tasty, and they know how to pour a Guinness

A. T.

Atmosphere is so nice and lively! Everyone in the community gathers here and you can definitely see why. Food is awesome just like the staff and service. Plenty of room inside and outside. There's also a window to take orders from the people who choose to sit in the outdoor area which I found so clever. Decent portions for the price you pay, well worth it!

K. S.

Really enjoyed the meals. Good kiwi pub food. Fish was very fresh and the batter was nice and light. And chips just how I like them. Will definitely go back there again. Very quick service and friendly staff

J. W.

Noisy but nice. Food ok but heavy on carbs. Too many screens showing racing and rugby. Outside area much nicer in good weather.

N. N.

Good place,for live music, beer,and laughter 👍

L. L.

We went for Sunday brunch. Beautiful. I had an omelette, it was devine. The best I've ever had. My partner had the big breakfast and said it was perfect. Service was great and friendly staff.👍 We will be back.

E.

We had a good get together with friends on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good, beer tasted good (Speights Dark) and our meals were very nice. A great pub with many memories.

B. M.

Beautiful food try the lambs fry &bacon,O to die for ,absolutely a must to visit on your travel.🍺🍷

K. C.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, we came here for a quiz night and it was good pub grub served, not overpriced and not bland. Just as you’d expect but a little nicer! All 5 of us enjoyed our meals and desserts - well the dessert selection was YUM!!

T. M.

Great old school no fuss country pub. Guinness and Panhead Supercharger on Tap

V. B.

Great food, great atmosphere, awesome staff.

I. G.

Popped in to watch a sports event on the big screen Pup built in 1883, so has a long local history. Typical Country pup now being swallowed up by suburbia. Still has loads of character. I had lambs fry and bacon and my wife had Salt and Pepper Squid. Both Yummy and for $38 bucks for both meals how can you go wrong.

T. H. P.

This is always a fav for me even if I did loose on the pokies. My steak sammie was great.

E. J.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch. Bar staff not very friendly, pretty aloof.

C. O.

Love this place! Always a great vibe and atmosphere, music is awesome, food and drinks very fair and affordable. Food is tasty, staff are super warm and friendly. Great place to just stop for a quick drink or meal and just as great for a night out.

S. “. C.

I am an old Rock 'n Roller at heart and I happened to go pay my respects and see an old friend and his band play there recently. Great Sunday arvo gig and plenty of food and beverages available to suit all tastes. Dress warmly for the garden though cause thats where the band plays.

A. T.

Great local pub friendly punters and great bar staff. A really good menu as well affordable and delicious. 1 pool table, pokies, and a TAB are someone the features inside this hidden gem. Along with neat little signs and a lovley outdoor area.

M. C.

J. H.

They have excellent service wow food. They have a outdoor area which covers designated areas. And our door stage.loved it and it and it had a vibrant atmosphere.

V. H.

Was nice to see a pub that hadn't been over run by modernism and felt true and original. Beer in and pint and and basket of fries was a good finish to the day.

D. M.

First time to this Tavern - It wont be the last - Great food well presented - My wife and I were both fed for $45.00 - Very good friendly atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff - With all this positive feedback why only 4/5 stars, I rarely give the 5/5 - After a couple of more visits who knows it might get the 5/5 - Personaly I am looking forward to our next visit

C. M.
