It looks as if the further out from the city you go the better the pub accomodation becomes. Well,…read moreI can only describe it based upon this one particular pub, but I have to say that I was really impressed. The rooms were comfortable, and I got a really good nights sleep. Okay, checkin was a bit annoying, but that was because I ended up here pretty early, and they don't do check-in until the afternoon. Still, the pub was pretty nice, the service excellent, and the rooms really comfortable.

It is always a good thing to stumble upon one of these types of bars, especially when you happen to…read morebe wandering around a place like Hamilton (which is basically a suburb of Newcastle). Actually, it turned out that this was a pretty cool bar. In fact I'd suggest it goes beyond that to actually be a pretty awesome bar. Maybe it had something to do with the collection of craft beers on tap, or maybe it was just that the place really had that type of atmosphere that I simply love. Anyway, this certainly a great place for a drink.

Online it looks a lot nicer and more elegant. In reality it is somewhat dodgy. I wouldn't suggest it for a birthday or Christmas party unless you can decorate the hell out of it and have decent lighting. Also had other people walking through our group to get to the toilet which was annoying and probably so for them too. The pizza platters were disappointing but the other food I could see being served looked and smelled great.

In a city full of soulless TAB-illuminated meat markets, Terrace Bar is a breath of fresh air…read more A social experiment of sorts, Terrace Bar is the debut product of Newcastle's "small bar movement" and boy have they shown us what we've been missing. Set up in a faux-derelict manner (behind the bar is the only modern aspect to the place), it owes a lot to Melbourne's hipster-chic scene, from the boutique beer selection to the fantastic DJ sets and impromptu dance floor. The atmosphere is great, friends and completely without any of the confrontational attitudes that plague... well.. just a bout every other bar in Newcastle. Only minus is that the license is only til midnight. The host live gigs and other performances in the small venue upstairs and also have a rooftop beer garden (as I said: "Melbourne") which is now open from lunchtimes at the weekends throughout the Summer. Only open Thursday-Sunday, this is a fantastic addition to the city and hopefully it will thrive.

A hidden hot spot in the heart of Newcastle. I've never been before and walked right passed it. A…read moretruly deceptive entrance. I'm not a fan of dark places which seems to be a trend with drinking venues. However, taking the stairs to the top completely changes the atmosphere. Downstairs you'd think they would go out of business but upstairs is where the people are. Back down by the bar was a dj playing great music with enough space for an impromptu dance. Not my type of place but I can appreciate what they are trying to achieve here.

He's been drinking there for years with a group of mates so there is a strong sense of nostalgia here - I totally get that, and have my own pubs that do the same for me. But without the nostalgia, I'm not sure why you'd venture to New Lambton to visit the Blackbutt - except that you get to say "Blackbutt" as many times as you like. And the nearby Blackbutt Reserve (which is free) is totally AWESOME and has wombats, so combining the two would make for a great afternoon!! It's really only a normal Aussie pub, with semi-decent pub grub, a kids playroom, pokies and a front bar. The food is ok - we had pizzas last night and the toppings were good although every one of them came out a bit burnt on the edges. But don't expect anything fancy here - stick with a Parma or a pizza and you'll be fine. Coopers is on tap here and it's cheap so that is pretty great! Staff are friendly and fine. I can't stretch to give it four stars, as its really pretty ordinary, but if you paired a visit here with the local Blackbutt reserve that would be a four star outing... Wombats!!!!
