Description

Element Bar is a popular spot with a great atmosphere, offering a mix of bar food and larger dishes. However, some recent concerns were raised about crowding and poor ventilation during the Omicron outbreak. The menu had mixed reviews, ranging from overpriced and poor quality items to delicious food options like haloumi burgers and calamari. The staff received praise for their cocktails and service, with the bar being a hit for beer lovers. The venue itself was a hit or miss with some mentioning poor service and cleanliness issues, while others found it welcoming and enjoyable. Live music was mentioned as a positive aspect, adding to the overall experience at Element Bar. Overall, it seems like this restaurant/bar has its ups and downs, but with the right choices, it can be a great place to visit in Coffs Harbour.

Warm and friendly a bit dark inside so maybe not too suitable for children excellent food presentation delicious fish and chips! They can only eat a drink or a complete lunch and dinner when they want!

Let's get the bad out the way. Poor service, don't expect the table to be cleaned any time soon, even when you ask. It's a little over priced wouldn't be so bad if the price reflected the quality. We brought a cake, which only half...the table were eating, they charged everyone a cake fee. When we got the cake brought to the table it was a mess and it warm in the middle, so it wasn't refrigerated like the girl told us. They did apologise and refund the cake fee. Burgers where poor and we had three at the table. On the upside, cocktails are good but best to get them at happy hour. Pizza is good enough for one average eater or two small eaters. Pasta was very good. Ribs on the other hand were a bit chewy. Atmosphere is good and they do get entertainment in. Stay away from the table near the bar as the aircon hits it hard. It's also next to the toilet.

Visited recently with my wife. Did not eat but we each had a drink. Received a very warm and friendly welcome. Drinks are ordered at the bar and the excellent gentleman there allowed me to sample a few beers until I decided. My wife chose...a glass of Pinot Gris which was very good......and she knows her Pinots. The ambiance is good, a nice atmosphere but I can imagine it would get really loud with music and happy customers.

Went searching for a decent non pretentious meal and found this gem of a restaurant. Highly recommend the pumpkin salad (I added chicken but it doesn’t need it). The balsamic reduction dressing makes this salad sing. Don’t know how they make it, but if they...bottled it I’d buy several litres of the stuff! Really busy place, but the service is on point, the drinks are cold and the food is fab. Music rounds out the experiences though sadly as I was there on. Monday night there wasn’t live stuff. Not that it mattered the place was buzzing. Great for families, friends or a romantic duo. Whatever the group size, this solo had a banging experience.

Previously loved the atmosphere of this great bar/restaurant but during the recent Omicron outbreak, was a little concerned at the crowding and poor ventilation. Typical bar-type menu as well as some great larger dishes.
