Hotel Bargo — Restaurant in Bargo

The food here is terrible. Small meals, low quality meat. I can’t stand thin steaks. The head chef is rude, and insults and intimidates other staff. No one should support a pub with an employment policy that doesn’t address work place bullying. They always get the order wrong, and are reluctant to correct it.

To top that off the owner is incredibly rude.

Very limited beers on tap. It gives that real seedy back water pub vibe. It often smells bad to top it off.

Accusing people of things doesn’t make your hotel seem better. That wasn’t the case on the evening.

We were regulars until we saw the behaviour from your patrons and security. If you wish to go down that path however the public can read the truth.

We were inside eating food after having it remade, third time that week. We can go into the churros served with salt instead of sugar? As we were eating a patron kept grabbing my partner to dance. She asked them to leave her alone. We went to the car park. She was followed out. None of your staff did anything. She left in a friends car I was sitting in my Ute. I got out and the door touched the car next me, which was apologised for immediately. The two males inside decided to get out and push me. Your guards came out pushing the other two blokes from that car bailing him up in a small garage.

Note the carpark was unmanaged and traffic controls were not implemented.

I complained to your staff, and Andrew Ingram became rude and abusive instantly. No aggression was displayed to him or the guards. Andrew attempted to stop me from getting back into the drivers side of the vehicle to get home to my partner who was having a panic attack after this incident. Police attended our house to report the assault inside Bargo hotel. Which is being investigated by narellan police. Alledgely there is no camera footage. So continue to deny responsibility and duty of care. I will continue to report this and take it to whatever level is required to garner and apology.

We consistently witnessed drug use on the premises as well. We generally attended the pub twice a week with zero incidents,...

The only issue with the interaction was that Sam had addressed the child in a very abrupt intimidating manner. While of course animals have rights, this child has special needs, instead of addressing him Sam should have come to the parents to request he "leave the chickens alone". It could have then respectfully been discussed that the child isn't able to comprehend that. So we did end up asking Sam if the chickens could please be locked away so they are ok, and the little boy could continue happily playing in the play area and jumping castle. While I have never had an issue at this establishment (aside from the veggie nachos being removed from the menu :,( ). I think if your establishment is inclusive of all humans from all walks of life, perhaps just a little more education towards the stuff and how they approach children. Best bet would be to always approach the parent first, as no one should be taking it into their own hands to approach someone else's child. I hope that this establishment will continue to be not only family friendly, but also inclusive of people who may need a little extra help, patience, understanding and kindness. I hope you have a great day and continue helping...

I eat here regularly. Food is generally very good. I believe the best in Bargo and Tahmoor, but can be inconsistent at times. Only had one time where the food was no good and I was actually sick. I was given a refund. Have had a few burnt dishes served up more than once. Service has been better lately at the bistro and very good at the bar. I'm not a fan of the recent changes to the pub it was a step backwards. Can be very noisy and busy at times. Foul language and inconsiderate people a plenty. Lots and lots and lots of smokers! Both in and out of the smokers areas with smoke blowing back into all areas of the pub and bistro and outdoor areas. Ash and ashtrays in food areas. "Massive detraction". Hygiene seems to have improved a little since my last review with exception to the pokie room which is feral and unhygienic. While not restricted to here alone I've never seen any of the men here wash their hands after using the bathroom! Not once in more than 5 yrs. The best bit is the next cigarette you light you're putting all the dirty germs from the guy before you all over your lips...
