The Golden Nugget Hotel

Everytime I head to Melbourne this place is my go too. Relatively cheap beers, beautiful snacks. Huge tab facility. We stayed at the Chifley just near it. Then headed to China town for a feed. We'll be back again tonight for round 2.

I plan on going here tonight after reading some of the reviews I'm worried I won't even get in the door let alone get to play any machines fairly most peoples complaints seem to be centered around management unsure how many managers there are but if I owned the place id be straight onto the management team and sort out the power hungry guy/ girl when people complain about management its more than likely the same person everyone complains about I'll update my review after tonight edit the staff where friendly and didn't bother me altho i did notice that when ever someone won over 1000$ either a staff member or security would rush to them i witnessed one of them begin pressing buttons for the winner i assumed in an attempt to hit the gamble button mabey?

Worst pokies ever 3 machines at $1000 limit for over 2 days you don’t mind loosing but that is a joke

TAB, pokies and all the gambling related pub. Is pretty good pub in the city centre. Nice and clean, but look a bit old. Overall, is good.

Bald bloke actin’ like he runs the joint couldn’t handle how CHARGED we were and kicked us out.worry about yourself before us fam jesusssss

Nice venue to have a quiet beer and a punt. The only drawback with this venue is that there is no Bistro, they should serve light Asian dishes such as Dim Sims and other Asian cuisine because of the other restaurants nearby.

Told to one of female staff, to change the paper for machine and she never changed and instant of doing her job, she send me on another machine.
Seriously, if you can't do your job, plz stay home or find another job.

Typical CBD pub with TAB, the ubiquitous slots and live sports. The beers are cold and nice ambience.

Great pokie Icon of Melbourne.love it, often have a win on one of my favourite machines in the world that they have there.and is one of the latest closing pokie venues other than the crown.security Re usually pretty chilled and funny guys as well as really great bar staff.

Great venue big variety of machines friendly service and a nice smoking area that's partially covered. # Great Wins

Hotel & Gaming Venue in Melbourne.
Visted the gaming room and bar, clean venue with friendly staff.

Only decent TAB bar in Melbourne I went to like 4 different venues before this one. But no food menu only frozen pizzas to eat.

Another incident bad treatment.

Please this is not a joke anymore! Even this customer who they give my machine wants to fight with me. I was setting on that machine since 12;30 pm till 12: 47 am. I lost almost 2k
I went to get more money at home, I left my bags. This is not fair.

Yohan and the staffs at welcome stranger look after me. For 18 years
But Golden nugget, this need to be addressed. This not a joke anymore!

U CAN'T PLAY TWO MACHINE ONLY ONE MACHINE PER PERSON! Hello, the place is not crowded. Many people put so many reserved SIGNs but they never got told off.
I only put reserve on my favorite machine. I was NOT the one who took someone's reserved MACHINE. Why I'm the THE GOT told OFF?

Why this person who took my reserve sign and the supervisor and security DIDN'T tell him OFF. Just stood there and waited till this person got the free games which that would have been MINE. So he WON, then all I get is, oh you can go an play YOUR MACHINE now.
Are you SERIOUS? AFTER I lost because I couldn't get a free games then the man WON.what an insult.

Ok, I was advised to call the management, I spoke to the management and the old staff members, they feel sorry for me and understand why I'm not happy.
Until now I'm still waiting for the outcome. The management said that they will get back to me but I have been coming there at least 4Times since and last night. But nothing. After 18 years NEVER won a grand jackpot or even a cheque. I even made a joke the least you guys can do for me as a good customer is to give me half of that MAN's WINNING which is $300 not much to compensate. Maybe this will make feel happy for my birthday in a week.

Thanks

If your looking for a great TAB venue then this is it, numerous tv's including a massive hd screen, at least 6 or 7 ebt's, friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks. What more would a punter want.

I love this place. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. They seem to enjoy their jobs which is a pleasant thing to see

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much air freshener being pumped into this joint. Obviously there are some customers who haven't seen the wet end of a bar of soap in a while, but why use a sledgehammer to crack a peanut shell?

Perhaps the worst Gaming Venue in the State. These people will wait until you have spent your money, then victimise you and accuse you of anything and everything.
Not only is it dark, windowless and everything a gaming venue should not be, it’s no doubt run by a bunch of thieves who have no interest in the customer.
Do yourself a favour and visit one of the many other venues in the CBD other than this.
If you do intending visiting enjoy the privilege of being abused and robbed at the same time.
I’d be more than happy to speak with anyone who has had the same experience and perhaps take this to the next level.

Awesome pub for watching live Cricket & cold beer, the TV is massive!
The 2 chicks behind the TAB have the best service, they definitely made it a special day since I wasn’t able to attend the G.

A nice hidden spot for daytime punters. I was in today & had the chicken fillets snack size for $5.50. Plenty of screens, EBT’s, & friendly staff.

Unfortunately my visit was marred by a patron who looked homeless & affected by drugs following me around mumbling threats under his breath. Eventually i just left. There were a few patrons lingering in the TAB who fit that same description. Has an element of unsafeness.

It's in the c.b. D.lonsdale street, pints of beer are well priced, watch the footy all that. Its basically near everything, restaurants, bars etc, nice place to go after a nice meal before. Chris.k
