*I’m just updating this from 3 stars to 2 stars after we had a confirmed booking last night and they were not open. We missed the first quarter of the game finding a new venue.

I went to Turf Bar to watch the Dees and Cats game on Thursday night and it was a lot quieter than expected! The venue was actually really noisy given there weren’t a lot of people in there and it was difficult to hear the TV even though it was on at a good volume.

We found the crowd was quite aggressive (my friend included after a bad day) and one of the drunk/drugged up girls hit him across the back of the head to try and stir something up. She spent most of the rest of the game asleep straddling her boyfriend. There wasn’t one security guard that night, so that might be my improvement call out there.

The food tasted delicious, especially the chicken burger! A $20 special for a burger and chips doesn’t seem like a special to me, but I wouldn’t have paid the original $28ish for it. I added an $8 side bowl of vegetables which had about 5 vegetables in the bowl. It was almost half the price of the meal and I was very disappointed with it.

Beers were at a standard $14-$15 for a pint, but it was good of them to put a $10 special pint up there if you wanted to go cheaper.

Was a lovely Irish bar. Had little booths which were great. Unfortunately had a couple of digital card issues (isn't a fault on their end). After checking a different machine, trying closer to the terminal, using my partners digital card and testing a barmans physical card (it worked) we ended up paying in cash. The barmaid who served us was great and patient. One barman said that the issue was insufficient funds, which felt a little rude to say as prior to that we tried multiple times with the barmaid ie: (checking the accounts prior to that interaction as well as my partners) but other than that nice delicious Guinness and table service.

Response to owner: Not an issue at all. Still like the atmosphere, the tables and the sports on tv. Will definitely be coming back. I've seen plenty of eftpos machines not work. The cards we were trying to pay with were Digital and the one the barman used was physical, so definitely not your issue at all. I assumed digital was the issue. Just felt weird being told I didn't have enough money in my account 😅 Thanks for the experience...
