Down The Hatch

Came here last night to celebrate a birthday, interesting decor it has that rustic feel to it. Very extensive Tapas menu I must say and of what did have it was quite tasty. Being a red wine drinker not a lot of choice however it like your beer this is place for. We will be back to sample the mains. Actually we went back the next day had more tapas absolutely delicious everything we had.

Wonderful evening for 4 of us. We shared tapas and the food was awesome, the hostesses were brilliant, they had lots of suggestions and helped to make it a great experience. The ambience of this place was so lovely. We can't wait to go back very soon and try some more from their menu and enjoy another lovely evening. Could not fault it! Pork belly, pulled pork, scallops and chorizo were a few of our favorites.

Great service! very personable lady looking after things; she was so nice to my kids and even made my daughter chocolate sauce to go with some ice cream. Really nice food; menu has so much choice and proper meal options for the kids. Tapas or main meals your choice, we had a bit of both. Definitely will be back for the next special occasion.

Food is great, good sided portions as I love eating! Service was quick even when they were slammed!!!!!!!! Large range of beers which is important to me! Staff were friendly and warm environment, but cold beers haha! This is a hidden gem as down an alley way, but always lively and fun and highly recommended Shaun

The food has improved immensely. Seems to attract the Brit expat crowd and the beers on tap reflect that. One of the nicest bars in Joondalup. Would be great to see a rotating craft brew or something for those of us that think nail ale is a bit lacking in flavour. All in all it's a recommended venue.

Had a great night,sat outside, cozy inside would go again but the only negative was the bar staff, had a few different ones and found them to be surely not friendly at all, like miserable robots, think owner really should address this issue as a friendly hi and smile would really improve the atmosphere. The other thing I have since found out as there was vomit in men's toilet, which no body cleaned up, now that's disgusting, don't think we will be going back there!

I went here for an early impromptu dinner with a group of friends after running an event at ECU. There were 7 of us who were all very hungry and only one person in the group had been here before. I will firstly say, that this is not a student crowd type of place, which is fine, as we are not really part of the usually student crowd. But I felt like the staff took one look at us and instantly didn't want anything to do with us. We wanted to have food and they suggested we get a table in the crowded/small bar area. We then asked to be seated in the restaurant section. We all ordered of the tapas style menu or from the specials board, and no one was drinking. We were all chatting and debriefing from the event but we felt like they were either prompting us to buy more or leave. We arrived just after 6, and I think we were done eating by 7 ish, and felt so uncomfortable that we left by 7:30. The restaurant was not busy, there were plenty of tables, I just felt like they didn't want to deal with us if we weren't going to keep buying drinks or food. We definitely felt rushed and pushed out the door. On a good note, the food was tasty.
