Wow! Went to Fabulous Bangor Tavern today. Absolutely fabulous management. Great atmosphere, dog friendly, and toilets are spotless And smell great. And caught female management Amander cleaning around the pub herself on a Monday morning. Absolute credit to her she runs a tight ship. Whole pub is Spotless. Well Done ??'???'? We'll be back for sure.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday at Bangor Tav. The catering food was delicious and the staff were really helpful. The manager on duty, Shane, made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day and made the whole event seamless. Many thanks!!

Went for an early Saturday dinner. Atmosphere was good. Lots of families and live music. The play area is not fit for a toddler (only one way in and its narrow and no access for you to keep visuals on them). More appropriate for older kids. Our mains were nice but don't bother with the $15 sticky date pudding which came out cupcake size and not very tasty at all.

Since the refurbishment, it is a lot more pleasant with a bright modern interior. The staff were very friendly and the food has certainly improved heaps! Really nice place to hang out now, doesn't have that cheap brown pub vibe it used to have :-)

The consistency of quality food and warm, comfortable atmosphere aside, the service from the staff at Bangor Taven surpass none. They are accommodating, attentive and down right good people.

This is certainly a venue you can ensure a good time every time you come.

Tripping over children and dogs to get to the kitchento pick up a very nice meal. Music is way too loud to talk over, and you can just walk up anywhere to the bar to be served, therefore people jump ahead. This is no place for children in my opinion. The parents get sloshed and the kids are forgotten about. Shame, it used to be good

Not a bad place and lots of investment to make it nice inside and out.
Main issue is a little expensive (cost the same as a "posh" restaurant we'd been to the day before), and the food was nice but any salad is absolutely dominated by onion. Just huge amounts so you can't taste anything else for a couple of days. If you order just ask them for less onion, I guess.

First time I had been back here for a long time but the menu was really basic and not much to choose from. Ended up with the steak sandwich which was ok but not great. Outdoor heaters would have been nice.

Not impressed. Ordered from the table but did not get notification that food was ready, despite having notifications enabled. Salt and pepper calamari was cool, over cooked and tough. Thai chicken salad was very nice though.

It's a tavern, which normally are a bit stale, lifeless and have no character. This one, however, is not that bad at all really. Decent outside area at the back. Large screens for sports. Ample parking.

One thing that did make me laugh though, I asked for a beer and a coke. The young lady behind the bar poured half the coke into the glass and then started to fill the rest of the glass with my beer. I had to stop her and say 'Separately'. Never known anything like that before. I found it hilarious, bless her.

I just hosted my second function at Bangor Tavern and it was great. The food platters are delicious and a great price. The staff were great in making the day flow easily. Huge thanks to Nat who was super helpful and aided in making the day special. Thanks again.

Pretty good! Food is usually pretty good, especially with the daily deals. The bar line moves fast.
Nice environment.

We held our son's 3rd birthday party at Bangor Tavern from 10am-12pm on a recent Sunday. It was a perfect venue to have a kid's party. There was heaps of space, and the enclosed back area with the playground made it very easy to keep the kids having fun in one area.

Amanda and the Bangor Tavern team were extremely helpful in making it a stress-free occasion for us. They provided delicious platters of food for the kids & adults, and coffees/drinks were readily available. They also allowed us to bring in a small jumping castle and face painter for the kids.

I highly recommend the Bangor Tavern if you are looking to host any event, and particularly if there are families & kids attending. It has everything you need and is hassle-free.

Have been coming to Bangor a tavern for a few years for a pub meal but never again food has become so small and terrible quality. This salmon which was 1cm thick, as it was just the end of a salmon tail, obviously cut in half from a normal size and was so dry and over cooked, it was served with a few grains of rice. This cost $33. I put the fork next to the salmon to show how small it is.

Overpriced for food which is substandard and unfriendly bar staff. Been there 3 times and our group has been disappointed each time. Go to the club at Menai for decent food

Absolute perfect food. Best steak I've had in a while.. would highly recommend to anyone looking for a really really good feed.

Hats off to the chef in the kitchen with the Mohawk, ?????????? he was absolutely pumping out the food with awesome quality to follow

Edit:
At 9:30pm, we spoke to the bar manager who advised that if we would like to cancel our meals we could do so which is what we did. They were apologetic about the issue stating they had a 21st they were catering for. The issue we had was that every time we went and spoke to the kitchen (about 4/5 times) they stated our meals were 5 minutes away. If they were honest from the beginning, we could have made the decision to leave at a reasonable time and eat elsewhere.

Original:
Ordered 7 meals at 7:30pm on a Saturday night for dinner and it's taken over 2 hours for meals to be cooked- still waiting. Absolutely pathetic service and if the total order wasn't so expensive, I'd have walked.
Don't waste your time ordering at this pub if you want your meal before Christmas.

Went there last night with the family and my daughters friends. Found all the staff were friendly and happy in their work. Food was good and reasonably priced.
Had a DJ there and felt like I was back in my youth - awesome night. ??'?

Had our dinner here to try it out for the first time. I had the Nachos with pulled beef and it was pretty disappointing. Had very little pulled beef. Like hardly any. I was picking on it to try find some. Hello beef? You there? Nope. All I kept getting was cheese, sour cream and guacamole. It had nice heat with jalopenos whatever two forkfull I ate. Here's a picture of the Nachos. The Padstow Park Hotel has way better pulled beef Nachos and they're not stingy of the beef either. Needless to say, I was disappointed with the Nachos with pulled beef here. I hope they read this and make a bit of an effort and care with each meal. Hubby had the $40 steak and said it was okay. It was very thin, like as thin as a McDonald's burger patty or a 2min steak and his chips were cold. I do like the ambiance and decor. A lovely local pub for the area for a few drinks and cocktails.

Thank you Amanda, Adam and all the team at Bangor Tavern. It was my dads birthday today and you all were so thoughtful and he had a fabulous time. You all made him feel so welcomed and at 82 years old he was so thrilled. Thank you all so much !!!!

I have lived in the Menai area for 37 years now and I have experienced and dealt with many Licensees at The Bangor Tavern, in actual fact we have developed strong relationships over the years and become friends.
Incidentally I was in the hospitality industry for 30 years selling wine, so I do qualify to have an opinion about hotel/restaurants with my experience.
I would just like to post a review to say the current owners of the hotel are second to none however they have been in the hospitality industry for a very long time over 40 years.
The Micola family are the real deal and their son Adam, heading up the business with Mum Amanda have really taken our local hotel to another level.
The food, the beverage variety, the service, the new facilities and the aesthetic updates are just wonderful.
Anyone that is not happy with the enormous progress of this licensed establishment must have either, lost in the TAB by backing a very slow horse and done their cash on the ponies or maybe wasn't intelligent enough to enter the correct answers on trivia night and lost.

The Tav is extremely user friendly and a great place to spend time with friends.

Go and enjoy, my recommendation.

The customer service was professional polite and friendly environment. The Bangor Tavern was very neat and tidy even the restrooms were always clean. The food was sizzling hot & fresh and most importantly delicious. They respected the covid rules and applied the restrictions and even kindly reminded customers when needed.
Thank you for helping our family celebrate our sons birthday celebration.

Menu is good but the kids are loud. Melbourne cup night may be the reason. Will give it another shot soon.

The decor and open space definitely makes this place more appealing than your average local pub. Outside area is really nice. Staff are friendly and love that the boss brings his dog in with him! They lose me at their way overpriced menu and very standard food. Wouldn't be my first place for a feed i had options. Could pay half the price to eat at multiple places within a 5 min drive for a better quality meal.
