General Public Frankston — Restaurant in Melbourne

We have been to GP several times and been satisfied but we went for my son's birthday last week and were disappointed. The Food was quick to arrive and decent enough but our evening was soured by a couple of events: 1: arriving and being ignored by staff members at rhe bar and others who kept decorating a tree nearby for 5 mins while we stood waiting to be seated (at the sign at the entrance where it says to do so.) When we approached them they said we should go to the bar and ask them, i said "maybe you should remove the sign that says wait here to be greeted and seated then?" And the staff member made a face behind my back as i walked away that my family members saw. 2: My Sister in law went down the slide with my son and got a piece of glass in her leg from the pad at the bottom. 3: When claiming prizes from the arcade at the end of the night a staff member took our card and while my kids were deciding on items, mistakingly scanned it and gave away our last 170 points to someone else or discarded it and merely shrugged it off as though we were mistaken. When you spend $100 on an arcade card to win like $5 worth of junk in return the least they could do is let your kids have all of it :( a disappointing night that has put me off returning again, just felt like the staff were bored and didn't...

Had a work function here and we had a brilliant time. Booked a package including bowling, arcade, drinks and food and it was a good per person price. We had a big variety of food (3 different pizzas, Sausage rolls, pies, chippies, burgers) and it was all delicious, especially the sliders were everyone's favourite. All the staff I had encountered was very nice. I got the same cocktail made by 3 different bartenders throughout the night and they all made them taste the exact same level of deliciousness which was great. One of the bartenders said it was the first time he had ever made the Special K, well he certainly did a great job! By the way the Special K is the best cocktail I've ever had anywhere, I love it! I'm deducting one star because of 2 things, 1. around 9pm the kitchen and bar on the bottom floor had closed and staff started to bring in all the tables from the outside/started getting ready to close even though they're open till 11pm and we didn't feel welcome anymore, like they wanted the leftover people to leave so we headed down the road to STRIKE to continue having a good time. Until then we did enjoy ourselves. I like this location better in regards of it having 2 floors and a slide but my 2nd issue is the parking outside the Frankston store is pretty much non existing. Anyway,...

Had an absolute blast celebrating my 20th here last night with friends. Everything was on point! Food ✅ drinks (cocktails included) ✅ fun and games ✅ instagramable ✅ good tunes ✅

We really loved the modern twist to the bowling where you can personalise the lane and screen as well as adding photos 😂 The food was a little pricey but tasted amazing (fantastic chips too!) and the service was always with the smile.

Something to note was that we booked earlier in the week for a group of 6 and when we arrived for our time slot, we were put in a shared booth with a group of teenagers who had already taken up all the space, and had to awkwardly move them onto the other couch to try and squeeze our big group into the other. We couldn’t trust leaving our drinks on the table or bags and were all pretty much forced to stand up in between the other lanes’ couch and lean against our one. We still had a blast tho and didn’t mind all standing up in the end, it was just squishy.

I was also spewin’ that the slide from the top to the bottom level wasn’t in operation 😕 maybe next time us big kids will get a go!

Overall, I highly recommend. Tho brand spanking bee place in Frankston whether you’re on a first date, celebrating a birthday, or just looking for something to do with friends and family in the...
