Food and venue was really good atmosphere and ambience fantastic. Thought the size of meals were a little small when paying over $230.00 dollars.

My cousin and I were having a catch up. The venue, the service and the meal were great BUT I hadn’t researched the likelihood of it being live music night. The band was loud. It just didn’t fit our purpose on that occasion.

The food is always good here, and it's a great little pub to dance the night away to live music, too!

First time visiting the venue, great location and set up. Staff were super friendly and attentive, food is mainly bistro style and came out quick, beers on tap and the Acorn draught was delicious. Menu was not overwhelming, ok variety. The food needs a bit more flair and menu upgrade, I am vegetarian and never complain about the veggie options, but dish was lacking a little. Definitely visit again to try out some other dishes. 👍

I love the Acorn , whenever I enter it's like a big hug , the food, service , staff and familiar patrons are all so homey, friendly and a safe place.. Awesome bands too. Maybe one negative, keep the coffee machine on a bit longer many times unable to get a coffee and still early.
