Customers often mention the pool tables, pool tournaments and the meat platters, and several say the event space suits private functions. The website describes a modern bar, a la carte food and sharing platters, and a function hall for up to 300 guests. One reviewer found the bar and the private room cramped, so check the space for your group.
Pubs with pool tables and function rooms are busiest on weekends and at events, so booking ahead for a larger group is sensible. Sharing platters suit a function, since a few plates spread across the table keep everyone fed. Bars in busy rooms can get crowded at the counter, so ordering a round at a time helps. Asking how the room is set up before you book avoids surprises on the night.
It is a lively spot for a pool night or a group function in Royal Oak, close to Mount Albert Road.
