The Laurel Hotel

Just had my twin and my 50th 70s themed birthday party and it was a fantastic experience and venue. Thanks to Megan we upgraded to the larger bistro area and the food, drinks, atmosphere and amazing staff and service couldn’t be faulted. Thanks Megan and Laurel staff for making our special night memorable and for your support and communication all night to make it smooth and enjoyable 💕💕💕

Lunch today @ The Laurel Hotel was & amazing. Super fresh OYSTERS, natural & Kilpatrick, also garlic bread with cheese was our entree. The absolute highlight for me was the Frutti De Mare Linguini (seafood linguini). Don't go past this dish it is simply to die for. I will be back.

We had such a wonderful time celebrating my 50th birthday Upstairs at the Laurel.
The staff could not have done more to make sure everyone one was well fed, well hydrated and well looked after. The food was beautiful and there was alot of it! Such a wide selection on offer. The function space is so roomy and offers lots of areas to congregate for a chat or a dance.
Thanks Megan, Brooke and Tilly..we will def do it all again !!

Thank to all the staff who did an amazing job for my 70th bday dressup..we all had a ball.. would totally recommend this venue..10/10

The bartender suggested me the wooden stone beer, which was a beautiful suggestion I have ever tasted since I drink beers. Really loved it. So strongly recommend this place.

Our daughter's 21st was a great success (thank you The Laurel). The middle bar was the perfect size for our 70 guests, great ambience and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, and Craig (the owner) was always ready to help out. Many of our guests remarked that this was a great venue.

We had a birthday function at The Laurel last weekend and could not have been happier with them. The information pre-event was clear and easy to understand and the prices very affordable. It's a great little space, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and on the night they were brilliant. The food was tasty and plentiful. We will be back!!

I had my 60th birthday in the Middle Bar of the Laurel last Saturday night and could not have wished for a better experience. The room was perfect as it gave people space between different groups talking and then became a spacious dance floor once the joints were lubricated. The finger food was delicious and served in a timely manner throughout the night. I believe the chicken pieces were the hit of the night and all food was consumed. A big thanks to Megan for steering me in the right direction with the setting up and ably assisted by Tilly and Craig on the night. I would definitely recommend for any future functions.

We hired The Middle Bar for my husband’s 50th & had the best night. The staff were fabulous with no waiting for drinks & so friendly. Communication on where we were up to on our tab couldn’t have been better. Made a few changes to our requirements on the fly but nothing was an issue & the night was totally seamless & went off without a hitch. Had so many comments from people at the party about what a great night it was & how good the venue is. Would totally recommend The Laurel for a stress free function. Will be returning for our next big celebration

Delicious lunch Osso bucco & seafood paella today,friendly staff.

We had my sons 21st birthday and it went so smoothly. Staff were amazing from the very start, friendly, helpful and kind. Will definitely recommend and use them again!!! Thanks to them we had an awesome night!!!

This was a stop in , unplanned but we have stumbled on a gem !! Owners are so friendly and service was amazing and our lunch was stunning , compliments to the chief.
We got chatting to the new owner who purchased just prior to covid hitting , gave us a bit of history on the old pub , was truly a great place to hang for a couple of hours .
We will definitely be back !!

My first time at the Laurel yesterday with the running group, all the food came out bang on the time we ordered it for which is no easy feat for 12 or so people. Very friendly staff, Mexican Parma was delicious and big & filling. Will be back.

Our first visit in the recommendation from a work colleague. Friendly and welcoming, generous and delicious meals.
We had the slightest hiccup with our order.... and we got honesty about the problem, an apology and the quickest possible resolution. You can't ask for more.
A local gem we'll be back to support again. I'll update the review when we get to try out the rooftop!

Stopped into The Laurel while visiting from QLD on a recent Monday night. Hadn't been in the pub for over 30 years since left Victoria. Ambience, cleanliness, service and the meals where the best we had experienced while in Melbourne. suggest the Pork Belly.... best I have had....

Goid place for hang out, good food average presentation, chef took some time to cook

Thank you to the team for your efforts! The rave reviews about the food from all of our guests keep coming. You’ve made a local pub to be proud of! Thank you, Mel and Liam

A large group of us had came for Saturday lunch to celebrate a birthday. From the moment of stepping in we felt welcome, the waitress was so lovely and couldn't do enough to assist us. A few of us requested alterations to menu items, and there was absolutely no fuss. All the meals came out together and we all enjoyed. Thank you for making our lunch party such an enjoyable one!
