Qirkz in the Hunter

Live music venue

👍👍 Aren't we so very lucky to live in the Hunter? We are brimming with restaurants, wineries, cafes and entertainment. Sure there are great places to go outside of "The Valley" though I think it is safe to say that here, we have more than our fair share. I make a point of enjoying many of these places...

The Underground

Bar

👍👍 This is my kind of place! Got a warm welcome from the bar lady upstairs, who told me where to go to see the band downstairs. What a cool place. Different areas and types of seating and I sat in my own little hutch in a comfy leather chair listening to groovy music for hours. All staff were helpful a...

Hungerford Hill

Winery

👍👍 Beautiful winery with a lovely outlook and extremely friendly and helpful staff! Had a great tour through HH wines with Liz who gave us a well rounded tasting experience. We were impressed with the number of wines able to be tasted and went home with a full spirit and a car boot full of lovely wines...

Hotel Denman Abermain (please visit Qirkz in the Hunter - this site is now defunct!)

Live music venue

👍👍 We were a group of 20 to 30 people. Everyone enjoyed their meal, much nicer than typical pub grub. Quirky decor, a top spot.

The Orana Hotel

Bistro

👍 Came here twice for lunch and dinner as we were staying nearby for a few days. We had the fisherman’s basket & garlic bread for lunch, the food was ordinary. Then came back for dinner and had the pizza and dessert. The food then was good which is why 4 stars. The service is ok, it was a bit slow. Yo...

The Criterion Hotel

Pub

🫤 What's happened to this place. Probably the worst meal I have had in years. I'm hoping the cook was having an off night, but the Brazilian pork was nothing Brazilian and I'm not sure what was up with it but haven't been feeling great since. Also kids grilled chicken looked poached and was rather tas...

The Boat Shed Bar

Bar

😐 It's a very nice place with a great selection of craft beers but for a club of its size and the amount of poker machines it has it beer is very expensive and the boats he'd var is way to dark they need to knock out a wall facing the lake/carpark

Battlesticks

Bar

😠 My husband and I had heard all of the rage about this place so on several weeks ago on Saturday the 24th March we booked in for an 8pm reservation. Here are the highlights... Strike 1: The table reserved for us and that we were sat at was dirty. Like, spilled water and food crumbs all over it dirt...

😠 Went there for the first time and wont be back, food was pretty basic, not much to choose from on the menu for lunch, i don't know why people rave about the club on how good it is cause its not, the only good thing is the coffee was nice and the only thing the club has got going for it is the view a...

Cardiff RSL Club

Rsl club

😐 I love this club and club staff were friendly but would not recommend the Eastern Tiger Restaurant at all. Food was absolutely foul, staff weren’t very nice and way over priced for the selection. We were shoved out the back in the function room with the big families with lots of kids. Very disappoin...
