Sarah Sands Hotel

24 May 22. My partner and I dined for dinner on a Tuesday night and there were quite a few people were in the restaurant, but it wasn't noisy and service was really good. Staff were very friendly, especially Charlotte and the girl behind the bar. My partner ordered the chicken parma with chips and salad ($28) and I ordered the porterhouse steak on the rarer side of med-rare, with chips and salad ($43). Our meals were lovely and my steak was cooked to perfection. I asked Charlotte to give my compliments to the chef. We enjoyed a bottle of Edge of the World Shiraz Cabernet ($52), and shared 3 pints of white rabbit dark beers ($14.40 each), so good. I also had the chocolate fondant for dessert ($15). Another great venue that we found through a dining app. We stayed out a bit late on a week night on the other side of town, not getting home till 1145pm, but it was worth it and we'll definitely be visiting again.

Best steak & ale pie I've ever eaten! The service was stellar, and manager Charlotte generously offered to swap my mash with salad, when I said I didn't want my pie with mash. Great bar too, loved the aperol spritz!

This place has come a long way since Bridie O’Riley days.

Venue: so nice! You can tell no expensive was spared on the renovations on this place.
Really cool styling, different areas, with different vibes. Cool for a drink, or dinner, or a night out.

Food/staff: delicious, tasty, full of flavour. Decent menu, lots of options. All good comes out quick and fresh.
Staff are super friendly and attentive!
The barman even made up a drink for me! Was super good too.

Place comes highly recommended.

Great central Brunswick location on Sydney Rd, awesome ambience, busy place on the Saturday night we were there. Can't wait to find here, great stop for a few drinks. Cocktails at reasonable prices, highly recommend the Mojito 🍹

This is the pub to go to when you're on Sydney Rd.
We did not have a booking but staff was great in accommodating us and moving a couple of tables around! Food was excellent too.

This is actually the new Celtic Club and is fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised, as I thought it was going to be traditional Irish pub, but it has been fitted out really well, staff are very nice and food was very good and reasonably priced!

Went to the Sarah Sands Hotel on a Wednesday night, it is a newly open place and it certainly looks nice and new. Nice ambiance inside, dining room area a has the open kitchen. Staff was friendly and doing COVID safe cleaning between service. The bar section looked really nice too and we had a quick look at the upstairs area. I think it's gonna be a great place to hang out in summer. The food was nice, not cheap but averaged price. I'll certainly go back there to try out few other things on their menu.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night, the place was buzzing a little but not a lot. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, this is great for semi casual get togethers, birthdays, etc. The price is a bit on the higher side for pub food (but that is understandable for the vibe they have going). We had only a handful of calamari pieces $17... The flatbread was a great starter! Steak sandwich was okay. Cocktails were so tasty and I INSIST you try their steak and ale pie.Yum!!!! We'll be back again 😋

Excellent cocktails and food paired with beautiful interior design. We attended this venue on a Thursday when they had cocktail special. Both cocktails were delicious, we got flatbread and dips as a snack which didn't disappoint. We will be regulars for sure. Thanks

Recently had dinner at Sarah Sands Hotel on their Monday $18 Parma night. Amazing value and a great meal. The staff were really accommodating with kids, offering $15 meals including a juice and ice cream. They also had happy hour with $8 pints, $6 house wines, and $7 spirits. It's great to see a pub offering such good prices for families, especially with the cost of living going up. Definitely a place worth supporting.

Great Parma promo on a Monday, only $18.
Large portion size and tender chicken.
However you must order through the QR code on table, what happened to table service restaurants?

Oh my gaawwd... Their pumpkin pizza is to DIE for. I managed to grab a photo before it all went haha... Also their Berry Tiki (mocktail) is so good and refreshing!
We also had the flan.. All round amazing. Do yourself a favour 🤤

First time at the Sarah and was very impressed. Staff amazing food good quality size and presentation. Will be back.
Oh happy hour 5 to 7pm

Attractive decor and ambience, better than average selection of food, and our meals were tasty, quite well priced and served quickly (6pm Saturday). Friendly staff with efficient service. Ticks all boxes. A little noisy as there were some large groups in, but it created a lively atmosphere, so not a problem. Nice to see mix of customers, singles, couples, small and larger groups. We ate in the bar area (there's also a dining area) and it was relaxing listening to live music from Joe (great selection of songs). Looking forward to coming back. Can recommend!

Lovely venue, food and atmosphere were great. Market fish and haloumi were delicious. Staff were very attentive and friendly, nothing was too hard. Cocktail tree was highlight for us.

Really good first impression.
The atmosphere was lively, the food from the kitchen was perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend the lavender spritz, yummy!

Went last night and had some confusion with a menu item ordered. They picked it up from just observing us and checked what was up. Remade the food with a minimum of fuss. They couldn’t do enough for us. Brilliant service. Will become a regular on the list of places for us. Thanks guys it was a sensational experience for a local pub.

We celebrated recently our daughters 21st Birthday party amongst close friends and family and we had a fantastic night! Everything from a stunning space upstairs & party atmosphere as we had a DJ. Great food & drinks (everyones needs were catered for). friendly, helpful service, nothing was too much trouble, would highly recommend for your next function. Thank you so much for a fantastic night, your functions manager and team were amazing.

I’ve driven past countless times and never imagined from the outside what it would actually be like on the inside! It’s modern yet has a warm ambience. I had Haloumi which came topped with persimmon and honey and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this genius combination ever since. The cheesecake I ate was also good. Definitely worth checking out this pub.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my birthday function at the Sarah Sands Hotel in Brunswick, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the outstanding service and experience provided by this wonderful establishment!

From the very beginning, I was impressed by their Functions Coordinator, Charlotte. She was an absolute gem to work with! Charlotte's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my birthday event was tailored to my preferences and needs. Her organisational skills and creative flair made the occasion truly memorable.

I also want to give a special shout-out to the talented bartender, Liam, for his amazing work during my birthday function. Liam's skills in mixology are truly impressive, and he crafted some of the most delightful and creative cocktails we've ever tasted. Not only was Liam highly skilled in his craft, but he also had a friendly and engaging personality that made the bar area feel like the heart of the party. He effortlessly catered to everyone's drink preferences, and his recommendations were spot-on. Whether it was a classic cocktail or a custom creation, Liam's attention to detail and passion for his work shone through in every drink he served.

Moreover, the team of chefs at the Sarah Sands Hotel deserves special recognition. The culinary expertise displayed during the event was nothing short of extraordinary. The food was not only presented beautifully but tasted absolutely divine! Our guests were raving about the delectable dishes served, and the chefs accommodated various dietary requirements without any hassle.

The ambiance of the venue was perfect for the occasion. The stylish décor and warm atmosphere added a touch of elegance to the celebration, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.

What sets the Sarah Sands Hotel apart is undoubtedly their commitment to delivering top-notch customer service. Throughout the entire evening, the staff were attentive, courteous, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Their hospitality made us feel like cherished guests, and it truly enhanced the overall experience.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Sarah Sands Hotel for any special event, and especially for functions. If you're seeking a venue that excels in service, has a talented Functions Coordinator like Charlotte, and boasts an incredible team of chefs and bartenders, this is the place to go!

Thank you, Sarah Sands Hotel, for making my birthday function an absolute delight. I look forward to returning in the future for more memorable moments.
