Precinct Hotel

This is a bit more of a classier pub that the others around here (which tend to be on the grungy side). Actually, it's on the other side of the railway tracks from most of the other pubs, so I guess that's saying something about the place. I have to say that it is pretty cool, though not as good as some of the other places I've been to. They have an outdoor beer garden out the back, together with its own bar (though it's not always open). Mind you, it does fill up pretty quickly on a Friday night, so you better be quick is you are looking for a spot to sit down with your mates. I've only been here a couple of times, namely because there are much better pubs that I prefer to visit in the area, but it isn't all that bad.

I have been to this place often enough 2 know that it is 1 of the best around.... the food is very good, drinks are up there but they fill the glass up. the out door smoking area is the best ive ever seen and if u dont smoke the indoor bar is the same as outside with tables tv's and so on. if u like music the dance floor goes off with a band and a dj. and if u want to sit and listen theres chairs to do that also. it caters 4 everyone and everything. sure people winge about stuff like everywhere... u cant please everyone... u winge about the line?? well go early. or food? go else where. flat beer? come on.... grow up.. security?? they do there job like all places. act stupid & carry on well what would u expect.... either way u look at it. every week the rooms are full with people eating drinking laughing and dancing. and every week the lines are huge. so it is obviously a good place 2 be or there wouldnt be a line.......

I have to say that this really is a venue that is rich with charm and character, none of this is displayed from the street, but once you enter you are instantly transported away from the hassle and bustle of the Richmond street life.I was lucky enough to have lunch at this great spot and I was delighted with the Hotels signature dish which is a succulent Rib Eye. The menu looked very tempting with a varied array of dishes ranging from Salmon through to a spaghetti that the Italians would be proud of!
This venue would suit a Sunday afternoon leisurely lunch gang or a Friday Party night group of the bold and the beautiful! Whichever way you chose to take it I guarantee that you will have some fun!

The decor is great, a roof that completely retracts made me think it was going to be a great summer venue - unfortunately average food and inflated prices means we won't be going back.

We've just found our new favourite Sunday lunch spot! Great food, friendly service and the courtyard is a fantastic set-up with retractable roof, plasma tvs for watching your favourite sport.
