Hardimans Hotel

A brilliant local pub with friendly, efficient service, great ambience with choice of seating (indoor and outdoor fireplaces), wide ranging drinks list and a delicious menu. I would particularly like to shout out to the chef for his scrumptious special - charcoal beef skewer with bulgogi BBQ, kewpie, kimchi and togarashi - it's BRILLIANT and thanks so much for adding it to the main menu!

Atmosphere was great, service was slow even collecting used plates, friend had a Parma which was dry chip seemed undercook the only thing which was nice was there salad

Always fast and efficient service at the bar. Drinks are not overpriced at all. Food is good. Trivia Tuesdays are great fun!

Food was fantastic. Loved the steak specials. Cocktails were well made. Service was great.but the stand up comedy that they had there was brilliant.

Tasty food! Really good atmosphere - outdoor area and upper deck area perfect for when the weather is nice. Good customer service. Will be back for sure!

Hardimans Hotel review

Above standard beers afordably offering one of the widest ranges I've seen

I also saw high class Espresso Martini made before my very eyes.

Immensely swarve embience

Very hip clientele & music

and a beer garden kept clean with no smoke but some very exotic plants make you feel part of selected nature and a member of the best

The food: and I quote the patron sitting next to me and with her I agree "very good, I've never had a bad meal here"

Special note: bottleshop inside also, yes I just wrote this - the wines look in a league of their own with standard priced great beer including avont guard

More than 5 stars well done Hardimans

Great dog friendly beer garden, lovely staff
Great daily specials. Lovely food.a bit on the pricey side so specials nights are the way to go.
Fantastic and ever changing Beer list. Wine list, cocktails and coffee.
Inside dining area that's lovely also. Bright and vibrant front bar.
Well worth a visit for a nice pint and some food.

Lovely pub area and very clean.
We were upstairs for a wedding. Great spot for an event it splits into three areas so people can still chat to each other. You have access to a TV screen. There is a bar as well. Food was delicious. They even catered for non dairy.

Great pub with an awesome range of beers on tap which rotate regularly as well as a good cheap core range. Quality parma and decent other meals including a good range of pizzas.

I really like this pub. Just a really nice atmosphere and great food. Pretty damn good beer selection as well.

Seems like a great pub to have as a local.

Has become a go to for nights where we go to mum's for a family dinner and can't be bothered cooking.

Get the croquettes!

Lovely place Very clean, little disappointed in wine menu very expensive for lunch prices $15 for a basic Chardonnay: (service excellent x

A pub feed doesn’t get any better. Reasonable prices, top quality produce, huge portions. Plus they offer some of the head chef ‘Tommy’s’ classics- kingfish ceviche, spicy calamari to name a couple… oh and supreme wood fired pizza as well! Friendly staff, great vibe in the beer garden. 11/10. Check my photos…

I was a bit cold on this place back when it first opened newly refurbished, but all credit now - it’s come into its own as a great local! Beer list consistently excellent, great dog friendly beer garden.

Great beer selection. Comfortable setting. Comfortable food. A good addition to lil Kenso.

Good pub, lots of different areas to make your catch up with friends more intimate. Food was good.

After a 45-minute wait for our entrees, we went up and asked for an eta. When the entree and mains came out together, my meal was cold and tasteless but the staff were friendly and helpful.

Hardiman’s Hotel is by far the best pub in Kensington. How can you beat the impeccable wine list, the rotating craft beers and great food! Staff are always amazing and make you feel so welcome! I always recommend to everyone!

Solid food, highly professional staff. The standout was the wine list, whoever curated this seriously knows their wine and many reasonably priced.

Clean trendy bar with good food and beers on special. Football on TV without drowning out family and social time (unless you want it to)

First visit (2019?) : Pizza and calamari rings quite passable, lamb ribs best avoided unless you have a craving for vinegar. Good selection of beers and wines. Service and atmosphere is decent.

Second visit (2022) : these guys gave seriously upped their game. Get the gruyere/truffle potato croquettes, you won't be disappointed! Plus yard area allows dogs, has open fire, and live music, what's not to like!
