This is a nice pub with a nice out door area. The food was ok but nothing special, however we only had a southern fried chicken burger,
They have good amounts of beer on tap! Its a nice pub! Its covid time they dont allow you to play pool, but they allow people to gamble ect. Doesnt make cents. You can have people play pokies touch buttons then tough there face then go grab a drink all whilst money is going through there hands not wash or sanitise, but play pool? NO

We had a family birthday function last Saturday in the covered outdoor area. The food, setup, atmosphere and service were excellent During the party a family member took a turn and had to be taken to hospital (thankfully she is now okay). We want to thank the amazing staff for being so incredibly helpful with their assistance, getting cold cloths, calling the ambulance and making sure we were all okay. Special mention has to go to staff member Nathan he was incredible, thanks for your extra help Nathan

It is October 16th 2021 and we have been staying behind the Dam Hotel since June 21st. What a beautiful staff you have! The Great Moscow Circus has felt nothing but welcomed by each and everyone of you. Thank you all for making lockdown easier for us. And the meal I had on the Wednesday you opened up, was the best pub meal I have had in years. Thank you so much guys x

Excellent selection of craft beers and a truly excellent coffee martini. Good atmosphere inside the bistro, outside on a Saturday seemed like it would be a bit to loud and hectic for me. Dam burger was pretty good, but the steaks were a bit average, particularly for the price, would have liked a hotter sear on the outside.

Nice family pub, the food was very tasty and great size portions, definitely worth the money. Would be preferable to have a lower music volume in the eating area though. Outside and inside play areas for the kids are handy. And great selection of tap beers.
