This was only my second visit but it was in perfect contrast to the loud, crowded and somewhat…read moredaunting wedding reception I attended years ago. 4pm on a Saturday allowed my group of four freedom of seating amongst the gorgeous (French inspired?) furniture, ease of conversation with minimal noise and nearly the barman to ourselves. There was a large party of 30 arriving at 7:30pm but we had moved on by then. Ramsey behind the bar was awesome and since I find most cocktails too strong he asked what I liked and made me something to match. It was fruity but most importantly sweet which I loved! Food certainly ranks higher than alcohol for me and Bar Petite has this well covered. We ordered arancini balls, sweet potato fries and spring rolls which I can't fault. They were all delicious. I'll definitely be back.

Set right on near newcastle beach it leads up to a delightful after dinner walk, and hidden away it ensues a relaxing and intimate vibe. It isn't ideal for large groups, preferably small groups of friends (3-5) looking for a great selection of wines with a tasty menu. The cheese platter is a delectable selection of seasonal treats, preparing you for a moorish and extravagant main menu. Perfect for an easy and simpler night out. Barramundi is strong recommended.

I would 100% recommend this place to anybody in the area and will be bragging to my friends that I had the best wings in Australia!

The service was very good, there was a great menu to choose from and plenty of excellent local brew. Food wise the pizza and the burgers were delish and nicely done. One of our colleagues had the chicken schnitzel which looked good on arrival and given that his plate was clean at the end, I suspect means it was tasty too. We also liked the suggested parings of food and beer, which turned out to be spot on! The only real complaint was the noise. There was great live music but it was very difficult really appreciate it because there were several large parties there and they were all having fun but we'd loved to hear the music too! We'll be back for sure. Too many beers, too little time!

The roast did not specify Yorkshire pud but I was confident that was what I was seeing passing by, table after table. One pork roast for me and a schnitzel for my husband. He was impressed by his meal; size, sauce and hot but remarked the salad could have used more dressing. My roast, whilst falling short on the potatoes, was just what I needed. Comfort food at its best. Gravy and apple sauce, carrots, peas, cauliflower bake and the most important elements - meat, crackling and the puffiest pud ever. Delicious! Not much to look at outside but inside is cosy and welcoming. Charmingly refurbished; maintaining an old pub feel.

One note; I am curious why the hot fries are still on the menu. A friend ordered them when I was eating with them, and she quite literally couldn't get past a single bite. Multiple of us also tried the fries and ended up having a pretty bad reaction. ITS SO HOT. A bit of a waste of money, and the menu had NO WARNING they were so hot. Our waitress didn't clarify when my friend ordered either. When we explained how hot they were she seemed unamused and said that's often how people react (like they can't eat more than a bite or two)

I was somewhat underwhelmed by my $25 chilli prawn main. One very large plate with some moulded rice and prawns hiding underneath. It was tasty but not particularly hot and the size was the real killer for me. My partners $38 scotch fillet didn't leave a great impression either. He ate about half the steak saying most of it was fat. We need AMAZING places along Honeysuckle but sadly I think this is much like Honeysuckle Hotel; average food, all about drinking.

The breading was just a little bit dry for my tastes, but the chicken was tender & tasty, & the BBQ sauce was plenty to tide me over, but if I find myself back here I'll splurge for the gravy. The chips (fries) were ace. The salad was dressed with a light vinaigrette, a nice accompaniment to the fried food. My partner ordered a pizza: The Hendrix: salsa sauce base, seasoned beef, capsicum, & a mozzarella/cheddar blend & a dash of sour cream. ($14.90) Salsa base obviously makes for a bit of a strange pizza, but it was really good. Quite a large serving of sour cream, which is awesome if you like it; my partner, who doesn't, just pushed it off without any complaints. Their menu advertises mojitos, so I ordered one, but the bartender came & found me at my table a couple minutes later, apologizing profusely that they'd run out of mint. I asked for a schooner of beer instead, which she delivered with the change to make up the difference. Disappointing, but no big deal. Overall, good food for decent prices, especially when you throw in the free live music that accompanies your meal.

It's a pretty big place and every area is also different! Generally the food is good, well priced pub grub. The drink specials are usually good value and there's a good variety on offer. But this place attracts some freaking weirdos. It's close to the train station and is often the sloppy last stop for people before they go home. Dress casual (all looks are welcome here though) come with some friends and sit on the couches and people watch over some drinks. Perhaps on the night you read this it will be totally different to what I've described. But go without expectations and it will be a fun one.
