Auburn Hotel

Had dinner here with my daughter and grandkids last Sunday . This is one of those beautiful old pubs that it’s a pleasure to be in. Had a little glitch with the cooking of the steak that was well and truly overdone . To their great credit there was no hesitation replacing it. As far as food is concerned unfortunately it’s just a pub meal at a restaurant price . Not sure that I need to go back, but I’m not saying don’t go. Try it for yourself .

Always thought of this place more as a bar than a restaurant. Used to have big Sunday sessions. Nice food, entrees and dessert was the stand out. Dad will enjoy the atmosphere, I certainly did. Could have a discussion without going deaf. The website had a gallery section for all the meals on the menu, excellent work.

I love the setting of the igloos, it’s pretty cool and works well for winter, we were warm eventhough it was cold and windy outside. Very glad staff always close the igloo when they go out. Staff are very friendly. Our entree was really nice, very accommodating for a friend who has dietary restriction. It was a generous entree amount, I was actually getting close to full just eating entree. There was a big time gap between entree and main dish, I don’t know whether staff were just short and we were forgotten. I guess being in the igloo, it’s kinda hard to call staff, except we get out of igloo. Main were rather disappointing to me. Steak was ok, I have had better although I like the sauce. Fish was ok. The side dishes of veggies like the wombok and carrot were very bland, it’s like no seasoning at all. I just feel overall the main isnt as good as entree. Dessert was ok, cake was burned on the side. It was a simple dessert which was ok but maybe could do something else to make it more wow. I wasnt a fan of the campari spritz I had, it was really strong and bitter. So my impression is that this place is great to hang out with friends, because it is kinda private insite igloo to chat, and a different experience great for winter. For the meal and drinks, $69 gave us a lot of foods but main and dessert were nothing special, which can be improved because you have lovely ingredients, just not the right seasoning. So I feel it is more about the experience, good for casual special occasion like hens day but food not good enough for romantic occasion or if you wanna have really good foods.

Apon reading some mixed reviews I really didn’t know what to expect, well all I can say is GO and check it out, because our food and drinks were spectacular! The Parma was amazing!!! Honestly one of the best in Melbourne for sure. Staff are very well equipped even on busy days. Thanks for making our night special

Booked a igloo and got surprised with the quality of food. When I booked it, igloo seating is a set menu option so I thought I probably just paying for the igloo as gimmick didn't have any expectation on food. Turns out it's totally delicious and worth the price! For $69 you get a 3 courses meal + special cocktail. On a rainy winter night, the igloo is surprisingly cozy. It has a heater and Bluetooth speaker inside. It feels very private too as no one else can hear you vice versa. Good experience!

We had a fantastic night dining at Auburn Hotel’s winter igloo experience as a group of 4. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality and volume of food on the 3-course shared menu and the staff went above and beyond to accomodate dietary requirements within our group. The service was very quick and attentive which made the igloo dining feel even more like an occasion. Thank you for such an enjoyable service, we can’t wait to return!

Only came here for a beer so can’t speak for the food, but there’s a decent selection of beers here. It was disappointing to only find 2 or so craft beers here with Balter and Stone & Wood being on offer but those are great choices. Got one of those and a Guinness and those never disappoint. The ambience of the pub is great with many tv screens available to watch some sport and it has a classic pub feel.

We had an extended family lunch there today. Good food and lovely staff but like many at the moment obviously understaffed as food and drinks took longer than ideal. In saying that the staff were lovely. I loved that there was an area for people to bring along their pups. Great to see. Thoroughly entertained watching the puppies through the window. Would definitely recommend.
