Beautiful food, very popular for the locals
& right near the beach. A loud, large dining area in need of some soft music for ambience.

Excellent service and cuisine and we got in 1 week before it closes down for 2 years. A skyrise is going up where the pub is now but Kirra Beach Hotel will be back bigger and better as the bottom couple of floors of the of the new building (skyrise) which will begin construction from Monday March 1st, 2021. Iconic location.

Service was poor, garlic bread not cooked. Kids beef burger should be renamed slider. Big bowl chips $7.00 a big bowl less chips. No jugs of soft drink served was told because covid 19, the only pub i know to do this. Not worth your effort or money. Empty restaurant says it all.

Good was nice..... bit barn like but great place for groups. Some music would have helped the atmosphere. Meals were fast and decent size portions. We were satisfied with good pub food.
