Sanctuary Hotel
Reviews
Decent place to chill and relax with a few drinks and some grub. Nothing outstanding about the food, mostly fairly standard choices. Drinks could probably be a bit more competitively priced. Atmosphere is okay generally, though you do occasionally get groups of people who have had a little too much to drink on a Friday night.
Good place to come for a meal before you head to the movies. You can usually find a seat here in the early evenings and come in if you want to have a drink and a chat with friends. Background music isn't too loud until about 9.30/10pm. Food menu has everything you'd expect for a pub, but the pizzas stand out as they're fairly large and served on long plates. Steaks and schnitzels are also well served.
Pretty good pub food similar quality to what's on offer at St James hotel. It's very spacious inside, a good meet up place before a night out or Friday after work drinks.
A popular place to have drinks and food in the city by the looks of it. I usually go here to find my friends and I usually prefer to buy drinks when happy hour starts. I think this place is quite good as it's not so noisy even on Friday or Saturday night. It has both inside and outside seating so if you prefer smoking or sitting outside, this is the place for you. The outside tables don't get packed up until closing time, so if you prefer to seat outside and drink after midnight, this is a good place to go. They have happy hour here after 9:30pm, so if you want to pay less, come later but normally the drinks aren't that expensive. Plus if you want to eat, they have all the usual pub food and it's quite good here for dinner if you are hungry. A great place to hangout with your friends if want to go have some food and something to drink away from the main streets.
A great cheap place to eat with simple menus and quick service. You get what you pay for but if you want a pub lunch in the CBD with a few friends and don't want to battle for a table then the Sanctuary is great for this.
