The menu is very limited, service is less than average and the drinks are very overpriced. Try somewhere else, I will never return.
Approximate cost: $20
The makeover of one of the historic Lee Wharf buildings gave the developers of this new watering hole a great canvass from which to do something great. Have they succeeded? Partly. The redevelopment and design as what you might expect for Newcastle... fairly good, contemporary without being architecturally visionary. Anyway it's basically the Brewery for the 2000's - a large booze barn blessed with a harbour location which will be great in Summer. Downsides? Aside from the unique building it's otherwise generic with the usual developer cut corners... sadly there's an enourmous "state of the art" Pub Tab/Pokie/Plasma wall which overwhelmes and dominates the interior in many ways. You can try escaping to the mezzanine level which is a great addition however the noise from the hordes below and the dog races on the wall kill any chance of intimate conversation. Refuge can be sought outside however, if you can get a seat. Unfortunately there is no seperate restaurant so you have to queue up with drunken patrons to order your burger and wedges. If you can tolerate the crowds and a venue squarely aimed at cashed up Gen Yers then it's a pleasant place to be on a summer's day
And the staff and management are extremely rude... Looking forward to when Newcastle moves on to the next flavour of the month. Clearly customer service is not an issue when you are getting the patrons. Will be interesting to see how they address this when the patrons stop flocking.
