What User doesn't like about Hard Rubbish:
This restaurant has transformed from a once-favorite spot into one I would never recommend again. The atmosphere has become unwelcoming since the new management took over. The bar, which used to be lively and social, now feels uncomfortable, with patrons who clearly hadn’t cleaned up in over a week. The previous friendly staff is no longer present, and service has noticeably declined. I truly hope the new management... View all feedback. What User likes about Hard Rubbish:
The restaurant features an impressive variety of beers and excellent cocktails, but what really stands out is the warm and friendly atmosphere created by both the staff and the patrons. View all feedback.

This charming little pub is located in the interesting area between Preston and Reservoir. It's a great example of how the vibe of the inner north is spreading...
