We went on a Tuesday night. The steak offer is amazing value and the steak was one of the best pub steaks I've had. The staffwas super friendly, too. Recommended. Price per person: A$20–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Thursday night and they had no redbull or energy drink available to mix with vodka, fine. Vodka lime soda- single shot served in a very tall glass, essentially just straight soda water. Second vodka lime soda ordered specifically in a short glass, was served vodka and lime Cordial with soda, still couldn't taste any vodka. Service seemed unenthusiastic and un interested. Price per person: A$1–20 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

We tried multiple beers and all tasted dreadful. The Furphys tasted soapy and the grifter just tasted off. The Byron Bay one tasted odd as well. They will need to do a good clean out of the pipes before I return. Price per person: A$1–20 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

Okay, it's back! The B&B! Universal have taken over management, thank the heavens it has because the beloved pre-sports venue is back and building! Still has a bit to work on, but the menu, the staff and the sports are 5 stars. Still some restoration to go and upgrades where needed but otherwise a great local pub once again.
