I recently visited the Rydalmere Tavern and unfortunately, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. While the staff were friendly and welcoming, I was disappointed to find that they didn't serve food. This was a bit of a letdown as I had been hoping to enjoy a meal while I was there.
Another thing that stood out to me was the large pokie area. It seemed like a significant portion of the tavern was dedicated to pokie machines, which wasn't really my cup of tea. While I understand that many people enjoy playing the pokies, it didn't make for a particularly inviting atmosphere for those who aren't interested in gambling.
In terms of the drinks, the selection was decent but not outstanding. It didn't seem like a place where people go to enjoy a wide range of craft beers or creative cocktails - rather, it was more of a standard pub-style drinks menu.
Overall, I would say that the Rydalmere Tavern isn't really a destination for people who are looking for a great meal or a wide selection of drinks. If you're into pokie machines, it might be more up your alley, but for those who are looking for a more traditional pub experience, there are likely better options out there. That being said, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable, so if you're in the area and looking for a quick drink, it could be worth stopping in.
