I have stayed here twice for work & both times have been as expected. The accommodation is pub style, with some rooms having an ensuite & others a shared bathroom. The ensuite rooms are larger & have a QS bed, while the shared bathrooms have a large single bed. Both were clean & comfortable.

The shared bathrooms are unexpectedly beautiful. In a gorgeous art deco style, they have a level of charm you would not expect in a pub. The supplied soaps are also lovely (Antipode) & I have since tracked them down so I can have them in my own bathroom at home!!

Parking is in a secure lot out the back but is a bit limited. I parked out the front for both stays with no issues at all. Very well it so I wasn't concerned.

The complimentary continental breakfast was unexpected & adequate for a quick bite before heading to site pre dawn - cereal, toast, tea, coffee. If you don't like UHT milk, grab some fresh milk from Coles next door & leave it in the fridge (no one used my milk the whole time I was there). There are basic amenities for getting a meal for yourself if you are not wanting to buy food & plenty of cutlery, plates, etc.

The bistro downstairs was excellent. Every meal I had there was tasty & the portion sizes are good after a long day. Being able to book meals to my room was handy as my company has an account so everything was taken care of for me.

Central location if you do decide to eat elsewhere. Pretty easy walk to other pubs, clubs, & restaurants in town.

10/10 would stay again.

I had my 50th Birthday party using both function rooms. The food was amazing, the staff were amazing. Exceptional service. Will be definitely recommending the Tourist for functions to other people.

Ordered 2 pizzas take away. The pizzas were almost cold, the dough was not cooked and one pizza did not have cheese as was listed in the menu. They were inedible and both ended up in the bin. Rang them to inform, they offered a refund but we could not be bothered going back. Buyer beware.

We had an absolutely wonderful time throwing a surprise 50th birthday celebration in the ladies lounge. The staff were on-hand and very accommodating to all our needs and made the whole day a wonderful success. We can't thank them enough for helping us to have such a wonderful time.

Great pub. The inside is very stylish, so perfect to take visitors to or a date night. Outside seating area has both covered and open to the sky options. Food was quick to arrive and very delicious. The entres were especially good. Staff polite and helpful. Lemon Lime & Bitters were top notch. Lots on tap as well. Plenty of nearby parking in both a lot and on the street. Limited mobility access at front, and plenty of space to manouver inside.

I've driven past this place for over 10 years and never tried it until tonight, i was pleasantly surprised how clean and well presented the place is. The food was really nice and worth the cost. I hope it continues to be decent as it almost has the perfect city in the country vibe.

6 of us went out for dinner all up about $250 of food. 3x $50ea scotch steaks medium comes out rare.

Back to the kitchen, came back out after placing back on the grill, 2 of the 3 had the wrong steak and the other just put up with it.

All they got offered was a free beer that cost $7.30. Apparently it was the head chef that was cooking this Monday night. The restaurant supervisor was rude about the whole ordeal and very short.

The curry duck was OK, the duck fat wasn't rendered or crispy.

I would be extremely ashamed to work in that kitchen and calling myself and the staff restaurant quality.

Nightmare kitchens eat your heart out

Stopped into Narrabri on the way to Brissy. Popped into here for a meal and it was amazing. One of the best pub meals I've ever had.
Important to note staff were helpful, facilities were clean and the pub in general was appealing. 5 out of 5.

Very nicely renovated and friendly staff. They were very busy both nights of our trip which especially on the first night led to some order confusion. My one disappointment were the limited vegetarian options as the menu changed the day we arrived

Looks are deceiving...

Place looks great, the interior is lovely, food and service however was pretty terrible. The girl on the bar had attitude and the food was over an hour wait, then to be served completely over cooked. Overpriced for what you get. Plenty of cheaper places in this town to get a beer too, $7 on tap for a schooner.

Nice looking pub, basic tap beer $7 but I went to order. What I wanted was unavailable on the menu. I suggested they cross it out and was told there are 50 menus would I like to do it.....
Anyway ordered the seafood linguine and it had a real microwave feel, hot as in some parts nearly cold in others. Very dangerous for seafood or so I'm l lead to believe - buyer beware.

The most sensational art deco restoration job. It was very expensive for pub grub (see $22 for a chicken burger with not much else on it). That said everything we ordered was superb. My entree size sichuan squid was huge and scrumptious. Didnt get out of it for under $200 for a quick lunch for 4. But worth it as a treat.

Feel dissapointed with the security guard. I had my birthday dinner here with my friends, but a friend of mine was denied to entry because she looks young even she showed her chinese id card that has birthdate and face picture. What a racist place!

I knew this this place renovated a little while back but I had always gone to the Crossroads as my standard drink and meal stop but since covid changed the way they currently trade I found myself going here instead.

Super impressed as they've got Stone & Wood AND Balter on tap and which is perfect BUT!!! The meal!!!!!

I grabbed the rump steak with pepper corn sauce with veg and mash.

It was one of the best pub meals I've had with flavour and steak cooking level all on point!!

You now have me as a regular when I'm on my regional work trips and will even look into accommodation to make it more convenient.

Very nice pub, rooms are newly renovated with modern amenities, food is good and beer is cold, while all reasonably priced.

An example of sympathetic modernization of an iconic art deco building. Professionally run and an example to others who set the bar a little lower.

Very Enjoyable Meal, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Just wanted something light while travelling and in Narrabri for the night. The chicken tacos were just right followed up with a tasty desert.

Very disappointing meal. Paid $48 for the "300g" Riverine Scotch Fillet special. I requested it without the caramelised onion. The piece of steak was barely 1cm thick and literally came with a small basket of McDonald's style fries and half a very small cos lettuce. For $50 (with Dianne sauce) it wasn't a $10 lunch special at any other pub.

Total 83/100

Atmosphere 18/20:
• In the bar area it is very classy. White with green and brown accents along with some bare brick walls pulls it up above the average pub. Music isn't too loud and has a variety of music which is great for a fun time.

Service 16/20:
• Order at the counter. Staff clear tables often and are polite. Super friendly and able to have a joke.

Food 49/60:
•  Salt & Pepper Squid: it is super tender, not chewy at all. It has a nice heat to it while being flavoured well and not oily from cooking. Really solid squid.
• Garlic pizza: the base of this pizza is thicker than most but it's fine there. The cheese has a really nice pull and stretch to it with a strong garlic flavour which is what you want. It also has a little bit of tomato base which adds a nice contrast in flavour.
• Chicken Schnitzel: Chips are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside while being well seasoned with a touch of herb. Real good chips. The 'salad' is half a baby iceberg simply cut in half with the butt still on. I'm always hesitant when that's the case however it looked clean so I can't really say more. It also had pickled onions which were the highlight and a nice light dressing that complimented the onions. The schnitzel was mostly moist. Although somehow parts of the schnitzel were dry and others weren't. Just a bit inconsistent and independent of the thickness so I'm not sure what caused it. The crumb was crispy and well seasoned with a herby undertone that lifted it. They aren't innovating here but a solid classic.
• Beer Battered Fish: Chips and salad are as above but there was an actual salad with rocket. Fish is amazing. Batter is nice and thin which I love, seasoning is on point and the fish itself couldn't be cooked better. All the praises here. Tartar sauce is solid. Nice strong flavour that compliments the fish well.

Beautifully renovated Hotel. Rooms clean, tidy and well appointed. Hosts were fantastic. I was part of a large group of motorbike riders and we were so well looked after. Hosts secured our bikes in locked gated rear parking and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend this pub especially for motorcyclists.

My parents, husband, daughter and I went for dinner. When we arrived we had absolutely no idea where to go or where our reserved table was. We were placed in the lounge area even though we had clearly stated before hand that we would have a 7 month old baby with us. Service was very slow if not non existent. One meal was served 45 minutes before the other meals even though it was requested that all meals be served at once. We did not even receive two of the side meals however the meals that we were served were quite nice. Not great value for money overall.
