Hotel Allen - NORTH WARD

The Allen is a great place to go for genuine Aussie Pub Food. Staff are friendly and helpful, the prices reasonable, and the meals hearty. Lovely casual atmosphere, easy walk from the strand. Good for families, too. Try the pig on spit on sunday night, like an outdoor BBQ, with local live music.

Food was good. Barman was great. Waitress was rude, abrupt and in the wrong industry. If you dont like people, dont work in a people job. Made the whole night tense and unenjoyable. Never again to the Allen.

Had an evening meal here. Food was good staff are very accommodating. Unfortunately some of the blackboard specials were sold out which was a little disappointing but still had plenty to select from. Cherry ripe cheesecake was superb.

Swung by the bistro for a quick dinner as The Allen was around the corner from our accom. Great staff with usual bistro fare on the menu; we chose the miso kingfish special with rice, teriyaki sauce & gingered greens. Fish was cooked well but still had a big bloodline on it & teriyaki sauce was cold from the fridge, otherwise a tasty pub meal that came out quickly, was hot & served with aplomb

We walked away from the main waterfront to find a very good pub/restaurant we had people in our group who had different eating problems we spoke to the staff who were very helpful and provided us with very good food
