Super cosy place, great vibe and great cocktails. Good for a date :)

I visited Galah with 9 other friends for my 21+1 birthday as I missed my 21st last year due to Covid. As we were the first booking, I assumed we would be served first but as more people walked in our order got pushed further behind. We ended up waiting 45 minutes for our drinks and only had a 2 hour booking so we all had time for only 1 drink each. The lady who served us was quite rude, I understand she was low on staff but I don’t think we were looked after at all and felt quite put out.

Great food, service and music. Lovely little club hidden in Prahan

We did not eat. So can not evaluate that.
The table service was very slow. We had to get up twice to ask for orders. Waitress seemed a little disinterested.
For a chilled Sunday night the music was very loud, especially as the room was far less than half full.

Great atmosphere and space, but I have been twice and both times waited over 40 minutes for a round of cocktails, to be met with justifications from the waitress. They did give us a round of shots to make up for it but it really killed the vibe and in the time they made the shots surely they could just have made our ordered drinks more of a priority.

Had an amazing early dinner here Saturday. Among the best kangaroo we've ever had. Drinks delish, service a tad haphazard but very friendly.

I have never had a man be so straight up rude to my face.
Was really bazar. I really didn’t do anything wrong. Apparently I didn’t say “thank you” “ enthusiastically” enough...
Saying this. It is a loud venue and I have a soft voice, I do always make the effort to at least smile at who ever is waiting on my table.

Great place for socialising love the vibe had my birthday celebrations here the staff were the best love their food and wine

Great food, cocktails and service. Wonderful ambience. However I found the noise level too high

Absolutely loved the vibe and service here. The cocktails are to die for! A great date spot, highly recommend.

The Pav is a must try - the most delicious, refreshing cocktail I’ve ever had. Just yum!

I never usually write reviews and have been a little forgiving about the terrible service here in previous experiences but obviously management don't have any plans to change the poor levels of service any time soon based on other poor reviews i've read. I have never been to this venue without them completely forgetting a drink order which happened on this occasion .. it took over 15 mins to get table service to get a drink (also they took away our menus .. which seemed strange not to leave at least one if we wanted to order more drinks) - we decided to order food at the same time because we didn't like our chances of getting served again. We eventually got our food but still hadn't got drinks took another 10mins to get someone to come over to our table (staff openly avoided eye contact) they had to chase up our order. After our entres we couldn't get any service to order more food or drinks so ended up settling the bill and going to another venue for dinner. Also I don't usually find this an issue and I really liked the dj but it was way too loud - it was impossible to have a conversation, we didn't bother bringing this up with staff at the time because it was hard enough to get them to do the basics.

Didn’t realise Thursday night was Jazz night! I don’t think the set up was appropriate for the venue our table was less then a meter from the band making it incredibly hard to hear anyone at your table. This also made it hard for the team to get to our table, we ordered some starters to share and didn’t have anyone come back to take any further orders at our table for at least an hour after receiving our food.

Normally this is a great venue but I felt that the band completely takes over no matter where you are sitting so unless you just want sit and watch live music, I would avoid Thursdays!

Food, drinks and ambiance were amazing. The service however was pretty poor - one wait staff in particular was not even trying to hide the fact that she was annoyed she had to be serving us. Thankfully her colleague was picking up her slack and mistakes, but the service was pretty average. Come for the food, but keep your expectations on the service experience to a min.

Cocktails are amazing. Food can be a bit hit and miss. Table service is horrendous. Be prepared to wait.

The venue is beautiful and great for drinks with friends or an intimate date.
The service however wasn’t great we had to wait a long time for our order to be taken and this continued throughout the night.
We had a few sharing dishes. The prawns were over cooked and the oysters weren’t very fresh.
Overall slightly disappointing, however I would try again- it could have just been an off night!

Booked at peak time, and to be fair outside so less communication with staff but we waited 20 minutes to order our first round, and *30* minutes after we thought we'd placed a second round, been ignored and got up to leave, said second round hadn't been added to our order at all.

Drinks were great, but I'm never going back unfortunately.

Great live music!

I went with a big group of friends, the service was great. Delicious cocktails, and the venue is gorgeous. Would like a bit more flexibility with the booking so we could’ve stayed longer.

$2 oysters and $15 mussel pot was a great deal, we also ordered calamari which was delicious.

We went for the oysters on a Wednesday and they ran out.

Loved the vibe of the place. Went with girlfriends on a Sunday for $2 oysters and $14 Bloody Mary’s. We ordered two dozen oysters but unfortunately were told that they received a bad batch that day and threw them out. We ordered the prawns, croquettes, chips, mussels, liver pate and cheese platter instead - the prawns and croquettes were a highlight! Will definitely come back for a date night!

Awesome atmosphere, I'll be back but it took about 20 minutes just to get served once we'd sat down and then another 20 for our first drinks to come out.

I never write reviews but feel this one is necessary. The venue itself has a cool, lofty, intimate, vibe. Definitely not what you expect when you first enter the ‘hole in the wall’ bottle shop on the ground level.
However, venue aside, the service was absolutely appalling. Trying to place an order for drinks and dinner was no easy feat. We were a group of 3 and wanted to order a couple of share plates as well. The waiter told us it would be too much food and talked us out of ordering a couple of dishes (needless to say we left feeling hungry). But I must say, the food was delicious.
We also had to handover a driver license and debit card as we were told there had been a lot of walk outs recently. To be honest, I am not at all surprised due to how understaffed they were.
To make things worse, trying to get my driver license and card back took about 20 minutes. Such a shame as this place has everything going for it except the service. Consequently, I wouldn’t be going back any time soon.

Lovely place for a fun night out
With family and or friends.
Drinks are great at wait staff attentive.
Once the light goes down the night really kicks off with music to settle you in for the cocktails to flow.
Yes they have Sloe gin too!!

Amazing food, great vibes and ambience! Well priced for portion sizes, and a special shout out to the two wonderful waitresses on the night, thank you for your amazing service

Lovely cocktails with an Australian theme, beautiful decor and good tunes! Was a little hard to get a waiter’s attention at times but otherwise great

Awesome venue and nice drinks. The wait staff are super friendly and helpful.

We ended up having to leave after being told there was a 20 minute wait for cocktails so to order regular drinks, which we did & then 30 mins later still no drinks! Very poor!!

Get the calamari and sit outside and just relax. Try a couple of different cocktails and enjoy

Great atmosphere and very interesting cocktails - highly recommended

The food was sensational only let down by the service. Drinks arrived after our meals & we got there early (6.30pm) to enjoy a cocktail pre-dining. Our server was almost disdainful at times & we almost felt like a nuisance. We’d return but try a different time of day & see if that improves service. Awesome food !!

This is a really great place and the staff are more than happy to serve well done Galah
Music was fantastic loved the cocktail list and the share food was mouth watering i highly recommend this place

Nice place. Staff were good apart from a gentleman assigning tables and taking orders at the entry.
We had high table booking and he was suggesting the bar table is the same. Even other staff were coming to us at bar saying “you guys are waiting for a table”
Also he was only interested in providing service to a certain tables and people. He really needs to learn how to have equal respect and level of service for all customers.
Other staff were helpful and nice. Food was pricey but delicious.

Came in with a booking, was told it was table service, we were walked past at least 5 times, and 30 mins later we just left.

Funky little set up! Quirky staff made the experience pleasurable. Pricey cocktails but my Ansett Aviation was outstanding! Dj set up was cool! I dont get out much but it was a lovely night out!! Thank you!

Poor service, asked for water multiple times, cocktails not worth price point. Wine and beer selection good, actual venue ambience and atmosphere is nice.

Love galah it’s a perfect vibe for a cosy date. Thanks guys

The service was amazing, we were met by a lovely young guy at the door and got seated right away. He looked after us the whole time and we thoroughly enjoyed the night. The ambiance is perfect for a date - We will certainly be back.

We made an online booking, which showed up on my email. Galah apparently didn’t receive it. We waiting 20 minutes, no one checked on us. Once eventually seated we waited a further 20 minutes to be served by their elitist and rude staff. Lucky the cocktail was so nice. Won’t be going back or recommending to friends.
