Coolangatta Hotel Review

Awesome atmosphere in the heart of coolangatta, I had the seafood basket and enjoyed it, price was right and the service was good.

I got a $19.90 Reef and Beef, and it had a killer view.

Not sure if it is coming from the pub itself or the shopping centre, but the air freshener is very strong and a serious health Hazzard! for people with asthma. I had to leave after 20 minutes because it was getting hard to breathe.

Carpeted floors-unusal for a surf club and makes 4 great sound ambience.
Fantastic views.
Good, fast service, friendly staff.
Standard surf club menu...more sald options would be appreciated.

The Titanix are a great band, plenty of variety in their music.

Very friendly staff, very short wait time for our meal.

After wandering up and down the street looking for coffee with atmosphere we settled on this place. Coffee was great.

Great place ..
Good food

Don't go on the weekend if you want to use the bathrooms

Kilpatrick is bollow average, people were nice and view of beach is great

Went to see The Amity Affliction here last night, great venue with lots of room (unless you re moshing, then look out ) great bar service and friendly security! Good job guys, thanks for a rad night

Good Price, friendly staff, amazing and flavourful food :)

Called up to make sure we could order takeaway only to turn up and be told the chef said no takeaway. Very disappointed.

Offers a great selection of food and beverages. Often showing live music or an option of sports. Friendly atmosphere with a nice view in the outside area.

What a great place. Went there on a Friday night the joint was pumping and staff flat out. But we still had excellent service and the meals came out quick and were fantastic!!!!

Just an average pub on the Coolangatta promenade area.

Great place for a drink and looking straight at the surf beach

Overpriced food and limited beer selection. On top of that ridiculous dress standards for a beach bar. it's a beach bar.

Wish I could give this establishment a zero star for their absolutely appalling, racist behaviour. On the 27 July 2019, we took our Filipino friend for a night out in Coolangatta. We lined up to get our IDs checked and when our friend s Filipino licence was checked, we were told it was legally not a valid form of ID, despite us getting in other clubs and RSLs with the same form of ID.

The blonde security guard kept pointing at the signs on the wall saying it s up there, it s the law. Yet when we asked where it stated that, he said I don t know, I don t have time to read it. Then we were pushed away and refused entry. We googled the law surrounding this, and established that international drivers licences are a valid form of ID and the security guard had just blatantly lied to refuse our entry.

When we returned to tell them that this law was in fact made up, the little blonde kid behind the desk who had witnessed the earlier interaction, told us to go away (in much ruder language) and that they didn t care for our laws. We then spoke to another security guard who said that we could come in, seeing that we were in the right. We obviously did not want to support a business that lets their staff get away with blatant racist behaviour. The little blonde kid behind the desk refused to take any responsibility for what had happened and would not even apologise.

They proceeded to say that they were not a racist establishment, but they don t let Aboriginal people in because they cause trouble. Absolutely disgusting that a place in 2019 can get away with this behaviour with zero consequence.

Had lunch and got the chicken parmi ... hardly any cheese . Chicken was very very oily . Very small amount of chips and salad. I complained and got no resolution to what i said . Not even a sorry . Poor food quality.

Dry off chicken . Add more cheese for $3 amd atleast handful of chips .

Low rating due to bistro. Steak was burnt (they said it was cooked on char grill) tho was easily resurrected by the chef who cooked it again on a pan instead. Waitress seemed annoyed. Bad vibes was uncomfortable

Great food and atmosphere. Good pricing, the only down we noticed is they had trouble finding people to bring out their meals.

Great resto pub by the Coolangatta beach. Freshly made pastas and fries made our day. Sunday night live music sesh was cool too.

Great pub on the beach great food solo singer for entertainment

Last visit was not up to the standard of previous visits. Hopefully this was a one off issue.

down from armidale with my best friend sarah n my little brother danel.. we had a good time.. good music n I met some amazing people... cooly hotel was fantastic thanks 4 giving us a good time :) we will be back..

The coolangatta Hotel provides an unforgettable experience embedded in historical, cultural and business surroundings.Located in spectacular landscape of coolangatta , 5 minutes walking distance to The Main beach , The Coolangatta Hotel combines comfort, luxury and extraordinary service.Cozy and peaceful atmosphere of state-of-art facilities overlooking the amazing main beach.

Great atmosphere for all ages....Always something happening there!! Great night to be had every time

Best fish & chips with amazing views of the ocean and friendly staff!!

Typical pub with great cheap meals opposite the beach

Some friends and i were visiting the hotel for a dinner, and the service was appalling. The staff had zero customer service skills and were beyond rude. They acted like they were doing us a favour by serving us, and were sarcastic and abrupt with us. When asked if we could split payment for an order, I received no recognition or reply and was given a cold stare from the man behind the bar. I definitely will not be returning and would certainly not ever recommend this place to ANY friends. Highly disappointing and food was below mediocre, not to mention cold and bland. The menu did not have enough details, with a dish having tomatoes in it and was not mentioned at all on the menu and our friend is severely allergic to tomatoes.

An awesome view with great food and a laid back atmosphere. I would love to come back

Great pub close to the beach & often hosts top bands.

It s 2019, and is still hard to offer one vegan option in a restaurant menu? Yes, apart from salads. I wasn t able to stay accompanying my fellas, and that could happen to any other people with a plant based diet who might visit the restaurant for any social reason.

good food, excellent service...nice to get out and about again.

Nice big meals at a good price. Chicken Parma was mega.

$11 for a pint of V.B, and its 22.50 for a jug of V.B? Makes no sense. $13 for nachos, with stale chips, pre-grated cheese, gluggy sour cream, canned salsa, and the guacamole? I shutter to think. Can't really blame the establishment, as the workers are going through the motions with no passion for their jobs. Due to the lack of job opportunities. I get it. But this is life, and this is my review. And here's the kicker. Back home in Melbourne, I'm a kitchen hand. And my standards are higher than the establishments Head Chef. Proof of the workers, just going through the motions to get by in life. No drive. No passion. And no professionalism.

Great bar to relax and enjoy a beer and a meal. There is a good variety of live entertainment on here as well. Friendly staff here as well.

Good atmosphere. Crowd can get a little out of control and security treats all patrons the same which in turn makes you want to leave.

POSTING THE SAME AS BELOW AS I WAS THERE AND FELT AS IF THIS WAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD EVER RECIEVED IN MY LIFE, FELT SO DISCRIMINATED OVER MY AGE AND CLEARLY WE ARENT THE ONLY YOUNGGER ADULTS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS IF YOU READ THERE REVIEWS. ABUSIVE STAFF MEMBERS AND A PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A MANAGER WHO STOOD THERE LAUGHING WHEN SHE TOLD US WE WERENT WELCOME TO SIT DOWN AND EAT.

If i could rate this place a 0 i would. Absolutely disgusting customer service. I am an adult, i went in with my friend and my little cousin (16 years old) for a nice lunch near the beach. I walk in to be told i am not allowed to eat here as my cousin is not 18. Then they changed their story to they have a house rule that no one under 18 is allowed to eat in here unless they are with their legal parent/care giver. What a load of rubbish. I seen grandparents with there grandchildren and i doubt any of them were the legal parent/care giver. I bet you now that they didn't ask any adult walking in with a minor if they were the legal guardian. I believe this is age discrimination! We weren't even going to order alcohol if that was the problem we just wanted food. How could they not let us stay there and enjoy a meal if we weren't even wanting to drink. I cannot believe this place is still standing. so willing to throw away paying customers. I doubt they asked anyone else with a minor if they were the parent but because we were young they discriminated against us. They were rude and as i walked out i asked someone outside and she was an aunty not a care giver AN AUNTY to the minor she was eating lunch with. I find it disgusting that they tried to say it was a house rule but if i was 40 years old taking my cousin out i bet you they wouldn't even bat an eyelid. Do not give these rude, snobby and indecent humans a cent of your money. Not only was the place dirty, the food looked disgusting as we walked out and i seen bugs all over the floor. CAN YOU MOP? i have never experienced anything like this and I've been to plenty of taverns, pubs and commercial hotels. ALL I WANTED WAS FOOD? How rude to throw out paying customers who didn't even want to drink. All over a 16 year old being with me. Whats the point of Australia legalising 18 year olds to be classified as adults if we have no privileges in places like this. AGE DISCRIMINATION YOU SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND RETHINK OF BETTER HOUSE RULES BECAUSE THAT IS A JOKE. You will not be getting a cent off me EVER. Q

Love this place good food, cold beer, friendly relaxed atmosphere, weekend live music, sit in the cool inside or see the world go by from the front area. Great.

Gr8 for meeting new friends
Gr8 bands
Gr8 shows
Gr8 staff

The food is good, the bar staff are friendly and the concert hall is small but pretty cool. I love this place that offers a nice view of the sea!

Not bad spot good beer but food is well below par which then makes it overpriced. Average steak sandwich and chicken parmigiana was very poor.

Good music and sports, and lively bar. Eat somewhere else first, as food was stale and tasteless.

Good food, service was quick for meals. Not a bad range of on tap beer, typical of most pubs. Had a good atmosphere on the Saturday night with some live music

Dishonest, tourist trap. The meals are really, really small. The service is exceedingly terrible. They literally just don't care. Tourist trap. Lamb shanks (plural on the menu) means more than one. That is what it means to use the plural. If they are to write it correctly they would write "Lamb Shank" singular. However nobody would buy the meal if they wrote that.

False and misleading advertising

A great spot for a drink, great music and watch the beach life go by.

Food was delish. Great atmosphere. Nice staff. Most definately be back

Nice location

Fast service

Good food at reasonable pricing

Perfect location to sit out the front have a drink and people watch
