What Phil N likes about O'Connell Hotel:
Enjoyed a family dinner at the O 'Connell Hotel when in Bathurst recently. We did have a seperate room to all sit together inn in this Covid Era. Meals were adequate but only fair quality pub food . I can believe the place would be great for weekend lunches sitting outdoors as the locals told us. The location just out of Bathurst is also great. View all feedback. What Kym M doesn't like about O'Connell Hotel:
NOT RECOMMENDED. Recently I stopped and had a meal at this establishment. I was with 2 other colleagues and we were scouting for stops for their upcoming motorcycle tours. When we ordered our meals we were not told how long they would take to prepare. We assumed that it would be a reasonable amount of time. After an hour I asked a young male server how much longer we would have to wait and his reply was ‘I don’ know’... View all feedback.

Great country pub for dinner. A bit quiet and ripe for improvement, but great for original and a true country pub experience. Try the loaded fries. They are the...

The O'Connell Hotel offers a mix of experiences, from delightful meals enjoyed by a warm fire in winter to gathering with friends in a lively atmosphere during the summer. While some patrons were pleased with the reasonable prices and generous portions, others felt the management let the historic venue fall into disrepair. One unfortunate visitor even reported encountering dirty facilities and unprofessional behavior from staff. However, for those seeking a charming pub meal in a picturesque setting off the beaten track, the newly renovated O'Connell Hotel may still hold its appeal with quality food, quick service, and ample outdoor seating.

Forgot to bring my order with tables other meals. Hastily reheated a meal which was terrible with cold and lumpy watered down mashed potato. Will never return
