Covent Garden Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

MISSY THE CAT RETURNS!

An excellent place to stop over for a drink while waiting for your Chinatown connection. Strongly recommended for occasions when you're in Haymarket and looking to drink and dash.** Friendly staff, decent beer offering, good location, superior people watching, close to the tram. The main shortcoming (at least IMHO) is that it's not the kind of place (nor is it set up) for a comfy afternoon over several pints. If that's not your concern, bump it up a star or two and get amongst it.

** EDIT: Sorry, blast it, I meant having a quick shandy, not skipping out on the bill.

Absolutely the worst place I've ever been in my life...playing the pokies and when the note acceptor jammed i told the teller. I went to the toilet and when i returned the machine(and my credit) was being played by someone else. I told the teller that i had credit in the machine and she called the manager, when he arrived and inspected he told me there was nothing they could do and that I'd lost my money. After 5 minutes of arguments (respectfully and politely) i was told by the manager that he was close to punching me and he walked away. I followed and carried on my case that his establishment has stolen from me and again he walked away. I offered to wipe the money for a free beer for me and my companion and again he walked away. It's appalling that they steal from you then threaten to assault you and ignore you... i never got my...

Like many people I know, I used to be a regular at Karaoke on Friday nights here. Unfortunately the way that karaoke is now run here is such that unless you are a friend or associate of the host you are unlikely to get your turn, at least not in a timely manner. You can arrive at 8:30pm put a sign No on and wait hours,!while others walk in after you and sing several times while laughing and chatting with the host. In the past when the karaoke event was very successful it was run fairly and respectfully. I urge management to look into this and many of your patrons may return if they are shown some fairness by the host. You only need to look at some of the other reviews to see this is an issue. The bar staff and security are friendly, range of drinks and venue is great. Unfortunate that this issue is...
