I have been here four times in the past year, 3 times to the wine room and once, last night to the Beer Hall. The Wine room at night has a lovely atmosphere, great place to catch up with some girlfriends or someone special over wine and some delicious food. The menu does change, last year I went there for a birthday dinner and my partner had a divine seafood pasta and when we went back there a couple of months ago it was off the menu, the gnocchi beef ragu was full of flavour but not quite what he was expecting, the portion was quite small but filling. I have tried several different kind of pizza's and they have all been good, my favourite is the chorizo with caramelised onion. Generally I have been really happy with the service but last night was a different story and promoted me to write this review. I met some girlfriends in the Beer Hall. Not normally a beer drinker I asked the barman what would be a good beer to start with as the selection was a little overwhelming and nothing looked familiar to me. He was no help at all and said they were all good. I asked about the special light ale and the chalkboard, there was no price next to it, and he said that it wasn't the best beer but ok. Feeling exasperated I ended up just getting two pints of that for my friend and I. We were shocked when he said it was $25 for both!! Later I tried another type of beer and accidently spilt my glass, it was a long one, my friend had chosen not to drink out of her glass but keep hers in the bottle as her glass had lip gloss on it. The bar tender looked quite annoyed when he mopped it up. Sorry, I wasn't drunk, just clumsy. When my friend went to get another drink and said we didn't need any glasses to the girl behind the bar, he pointedly came over and said 'is that so you wont spill your drink' and she said 'no, because my last glass had lip gloss on it' Honestly, it all sounds so petty now but at the time it was just annoying. The Beer Hall is also pretty noisy so you find yourself shouting to be heard. I did have the chorizo pizza again which was really good and at $18 not a bad price considering. My friend ordered the banana split for dessert ($12) and we were disappointed to see it presented in an ice-cream sundae glass so everything was squished together, the raspberry coulis also tasted like raspberry topping. I definitely wont be going back to the Beer Hall. The wine room however will probably see a return visit.

Approximate cost: $9-30

Been here twice, both times food orders were missed and eventually came out when everyone else had finished eating. This probably isn't the norm but it's what happened to me.
Staff are friendly enough but obviously not getting paid enough to care beyond pulling a beer and taking the cash. Beers aren't cheap, $12 for a pint. Nice place, cool interior but expect to pay for it.

Approximate cost: $25

A large group went for dinner in the beer hall here last Thursday night. Most beers are between $$10-15, pizzas are $15-$20. Pizzas were good but two did not come despite repeated requests of lithe wait staff, it looked as though the orders were missed, after an hour and a half they finally came but everyone else had long finished their meals. Overall it was overpriced and the service left a bit to be desired, however it is a cool looking place if you're looking for somewhere to meet your mates, just make sure you have a bit of money on you!

Approximate cost: $18

Since its redevelopment the Junction Hotel is now a very cool place to have a couple of beers or some wine with friends. The wine room looks fantastic! They've done some good work in there, and the beer hall and beer garden flow together seamlessly and works well. The tap beer is all boutique, and they offer a tasting pallet for $12 (I think) where you get to sample small glasses of 4 different beers. Staff are friendly and know their stuff when it comes to the drinks. Every time I go there its getting busier and busier, which is testament to its growing popularity amongst the locals.
