Golden Gate Hotel

Dinner 23/06/22 Food was pretty good pub food, the salad dressing worked really well but during winter would be good if they offered a vegetable only option. The pepper sauce with the schnitzel was basically brown water no flavour and far too thin consistency. The staff were so lovely one of the guys behind the bar that served us was incredibly polite and worked his arse off. Only thing I would say they had a live band on which was great but the bloke on the saxophone needs to learn how to regulate his volume, we were as far away as you could be and be inside and it was deafening and 3 times the volume of the rest of the band!

We had my husband‘s 50th birthday here. They have a fabulous room upstairs which is for hire and the prices were really excellent the room has a vibe cool feel to it and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening. This is one of our local pub so we often go here for a beer, the food is good pub fare so pleased that it’s reopened it’s got a good street vibe it’s just a lovely building it’s always fun.

Hubby wanted pub meal after eating almost three weeks of Chinese food in Brisbane, so we decided to venture out to a nearby pub for a feed. Maybe I am scarred by all the cheap pub food I have when I was younger, but while @goldengatehotel wasn’t out of this world, the food was actually quite good. We started with a light and crispy calamari with a beautiful yuzu and chilli mayo (when I get my @mountainyuzu I am totes gonna make some mayo!), then I chose a healthier option of Apple, smoked almond and grain salad. The salad is very fresh, although I couldn’t really taste the smokiness in the almond. Hubby had a burger - a dirty burger (that’s the official name!). He loved it. I think he was really craving for some greasy fattiness of bacon 🥓 beef patty bacon 🥓 and beef patty and melted cheese with the onion rings on top. I had to force him to order the side salad otherwise this might be a heart attack waiting to happen. Hubby wasn’t overly impressed by the fries though, some were overcooked so it was on the too crispy side. Hangry Piglet wanted to try the kids meal gnocchi and both of us hesitated… gnocchi can be very stodgey if not cooked well, but he was sure he wanted it. Turns out, that’s probably the best dish, we all loved the flavour and texture! Hangry Dumpling’s kids chicken and chips meal was sadly the most disappointing. The chicken was very dry and the fries, like hubby’s one is on the overcooked side. He is usually a big eater and he only ate half of it. Overall we do like the food and will be back as our neighbourhood go to, but either way after trying this pub I am more open to going to other pubs

Waitress is lovely! Food is perfect and delicious. Unfortunately I had to give 3 stars instead of a 5 due to the pasta. A screenshot has been provided as to what we ordered & then received. As you can see it’s completely different from the one we ordered. We asked about it only to find out the chef stopped making the one we ordered weeks ago. Ok? So why is it still on the menu? And why did nobody mention when we ordered that the meal no longer exists? Instead of saying anything, the chef continues to make his own meal up without warning. I’m 100% certain it’s a breach of contract to substitute food that’s advertised differently, it’s false advertisement actually. This isn’t on especially with allergies. Either update the menu or say the pasta is sold out. The poor waitress said we aren’t the first to have complained / brought it up so surely the owner/ chef could sort this out. Besides that everything else was fine.

Celebrated here with my friends for my birthday, The staff were very accommodating and we had a lovely table for the night perfectly suited to our booking 💫 Food is generous, and the blue haired waitress deserves a raise! Had one friend in literal tears over the parma being the best one he's ever eaten. I think he has not recovered from parma withdrawal Anywho, definitely a good place for a feed 👍

This pub was fantastic. Went here on a quiet Tuesday night, and everything was perfect. The staff were lovely. The drinks were good. The food was so much better than standard pub fare. Had one of the best steaks of my life, served with a very generous portion of chips and a tasty side lettuce thing. The halloumi starter was also delicious!

My Friend and I had a joint 21st party here recently and were shocked at how easy it was to organise events with! We had never done anything like this before and the management staff were super helpful with their suggestions and running of the night. We were able to just get drunk and enjoy the night while letting them run it which was just great. Would highly recommend to people looking for a venue for an event in this great location.
