Customer Review

We had such an amazing time at the tavern. Good food, awesome atmosphere with the karaoke DJ (he was awesome!!) and we saw Jason Boon's show. We all had such a fun, happy time with very attentive service by the staff. I can't fault this place. Amenities were clean. It's a gem!!

Absolutely wonderful experience here for lunch. I had booked lunch for my dad's 65th birthday for around 25 guests. Unfortunately only around 15 made it but was nice to have the room. When I arrived I noticed a long row of tables set up so I assumed they were for us. I went to the bathroom and came back and they had put 3 lots of balloons on the tables. I went over and asked if these tables were for my booking and she said yes. I thanked her for doing the balloons. I then said I had a cake and she asked if I wanted her to put it in the fridge and when we were ready they could bring plates and a knife out.. I said yes please. The service throughout the lunch was just outstanding by our waitress Angie who I can not praise enough for being so friendly and thoughtful for my dad's birthday even offering him a free drink. I really hope Angie can get recognition for her fabulous service. She really made our experience great from start to finish and we will definitely book again.

Had a wedding reception in the outside area. Sandy was amazing in setting up the area and attending to all our needs. Fantastic venue and wonderful staff. Beautiful music playing and outside heaters creating the perfect atmosphere for the reception.
Thank you Sandy and staff.

Great food, don't know why there are any bad reviews to be honest. My roast had a lot of peppercorns which was a bit too spicy for myself and my daughter. I let the staff know and they were happy to replace the meal with something else. The roast looked lovely but the peppercorns were an unmentioned surprise. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Everyone else's meals were great.

Have been to see live music here & also have dinner a few times. The food has always been quite good. Service is good & there have been only ever short wait times. There's been some good bands that play here regularly, but quite often playing to a near empty room, unfortunately, because the sound & room are both great. There's so much promise here. Ticketed events generally do really well, however. It's located in a pretty good spot & the amenities & outside areas are really good.

Our first visit to Koala Tavern was to experience the Kids Day Out they held on a recent Sunday. We enjoyed a lovely meal before the activities. Good variety of meals, and lots of gluten free options which was a welcome surprise. All the staff we encountered were absolutely lovely and more than happy to help. The wildlife show, face painting and balloon animals were a huge hit with the kids (as well as many of us adults 😄). The singer outside in the beer garden was great as well. Very impressed with our visit, so much so that we will return despite the tavern not being our local.

Enjoyed our experience so much! Sandy our hostess made sure our every need was met. Lovely spot out in the beer garden. It was my son's first birthday and they even provided balloons! All of our guests enjoyed our time there and the food was delicious also! Great kids play area on the side as well. Highly recommended. Great spot for families and couples alike.

Service and food are pretty solid and priced fairly. I had the Cesar salad and it was by far the best one I've had in a long while. Would have loved the option to add chicken but oh well, it's not a deal breaker. Face painting and and crafts on Sunday for the kids with live music for the adults. Will definitely be back.

Play area was really good and can see play area from the tables but the food unfortunately was appalling. rump was completely inedible and the charring on the eye fillet tasted like fish, like it was cooked on a dirty grill, chips were overcooked, sauces were ordinary at best. Went home and cooked up frozen sausage rolls!

I have held a couple of functions at the Koala Tavern this year, and we are just so happy with the venue, service & atmosphere!
Mel has been so helpful with everything from the lead up to each event, as well as always being present on the night, making sure everything ran smoothly.
We are excited to head back in September for another function.
The Koala Tavern is a great location for us & I couldn't recommend Mel & the team anymore! THANK YOU!

Average pub fare, big serving size. Lovely beer garden and playground. Could do with heaters for colder months. What made the night stand out was the attentiveness - made an online booking for a small birthday dinner and there were balloons on the table on arrival. I requested ice cream for the birthday grandpa and it just appeared. The staff were kind to the young kids, and even offered to cut the balloons off to take home. Small touches that make life easier when out at dinner with young ones. The floor staff are to be commended.

We were at the Koala Hotel for the first time last night to see the Wolfe Brothers, who were great!. We had a meal before the show. It was very busy. The staff told u a the wait would be 1/2 hour. They proactively came and apologized for our wait (which wasn't much more than the 1/2 hour we'd been told. The staff were all lovely and the meals were fantastic.

We've enjoyed our meal today. The staff were friendly and awsome serves. Everytime any of the staffs walked pass they always remove empty plates from out table. Kids meal been serve first and the food were delicious.
Only thing we recommend is a sailor or any sorts of shade over the kids play ground.
We will be back again.??'?

We had a wonderful lunch here.
Travelled down from the Sunshine Coast and took my mum out from her aged care facility. The food was well presented, value for money and tasted great.
The service was impeccable.
Staff were so welcoming.
Will definitely be back.
Thankyou!

Tucked away in the middle of capalaba, quiet and the garden is great for kids and dogs. good food. the chicken meals were huge!

Newly renovated but lacking any character. Quite simply very bland food.
Nachos with no flavour and liquid faux cheese just does not warrant a return visit.

This place is so good now it has been done up, the kids had a ball on the playground and the adults were able to just chill out. The food was done well , can definitely recommend the rotisery chicken and the barramundi. The thing that stood out the most was how happy and friendly all the staff were which you just don't really see anywhere anymore. Will definitely be back on a regular basis.

The Koala Tavern at Capalaba is fantastic. It has been newly renovated and I assume new management. The food is great and the service impeccable. The new play area for kids and a beer garden make it ideal for family dining. Best in the Redland area!

Just had a most wonderful lunch at the Koala Tavern with my family. The food and service were great and the grandchildren wore themselves out in the playground. We have decided that this will be our 'regular' from now on and will be happy to bring friends and visitors for special occasions.

Limited menu, 250g rump wasn't available on the order and pay app. Not many similar choices. Ordered the 1/4 rotisserie chook and a side of vegetables. Menu says "Home of the Roast Chook". Chicken was on par with a supermarket chicken. Very underwhelmed. Ordering app was clunky to use across multiple devices. We were seated close to the bar and all we could smell was the cleaning solution the staff used to wipe the bar and tables. Three wide open doors to the dining room let in flies, which were a constant annoyance. Lastly when I ordered drinks, Ben the barman hardly opened his mouth to speak, so I had to ask him to repeat everything he said. Will not be back

Love this place now that it has been done up. The food here is fantastic. Sensational chicken rolls and rotisserie chickens. Love the whole new layout and everything it has going for it. All the staff are very helpful and happy. It will definitely be my new local.

Nice Tav with cold beer. Huge sports bar with a new TAB. Friendly attentive staff. Had a steak, it was perfect. Would recommend.

Took my family for dinner tonight and I am disgusted.

Firstly we waited 1hr and 20mins for the food to arrive. It wasn't busy, there was hardly anyone in there so can't use the busy excuse.

Then our food was cold. We returned our order to be reheated as we didn't want food poisoning. 25mins later still no food and we went up to the counter to ask about our food, to get a reply saying the kitchen had been closed ages ago and they threw out our food with no mention to us.

The guy behind the bar was very rude and arrogant as well about it all.

If he did his job properly we wouldn't have been upset customers.

fairly ordinary
ordered T bone not available as they run out the night before
took my order for 250 gram rump waitress came out and said they had run out of 250 gram rump i asked if they could cut a 500 gram rump that they had in half and that would satisfy me and someone else could order a 250 gram rump but apparently not ,when the stake came it was over cooked like cardboard and dry with a very small salad with such a large piece of meat ,my wife had Guinness pie which realy consisted of filling with a triangle of pastry on top very ordinary. my Son had the double beef burger which was good but for $78 overall it was ordinary
