$25 steak night can't go wrong. Fantastic staff, delicious food and a great atmosphere. Classic pub! Will return.

This is the 3rd time we have returned to The National for our Christmas function and yet again it was amazing! The organization prior and ability to pre-order our meals made the event so much easier to coordinate on the day and the dining room is the most beautiful space for a private function. Especially with the fireplace and private bar. Food is always 5 stars!
Thanks team!

We booked a last minute birthday party for 42 people and Liz and the team at the National were fantastic. The dining room is a great space and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a private dining option for any event.

I went out for my birthday dinner and drinks, with a small group last night. We were told last drinks “upstairs” was finishing up at 8: 50 and no closing time was specified.then 5-10 minutes after I was told very rudely by a waitress/bartender to finish my drink as they are closing, i asked the closing time and she said they don’t have a set closing time.she made me finish my drink very quickly and was extremely rude as she mimicked my comments and slammed the door behind us. I would strongly recommend to management of the national to re assess their staff as it was unnecessary to speak to customers that way and also very unprofessional and unsafe to force a customer to “skull” the rest of my cocktail then to walk out on the street.

Just decided to have dinner here and I ended up getting the steak and my partner got the chicken and both cooked perfectly. The drinks were wonderful. The girl behind the bar was fantastic, service all in all. It was a great evening I even got a candle on my desert because it was my birthday.

I had my 21st at the National on their rooftop function space and it was an amazing venue with great food and drinks! James and his team were super friendly and helpful and I couldn’t recommend them more!

If you get a chance to visit this venue I guarantee you won't be disappointed in any aspect.
I highly recommend this venue for any future bookings.
You will not walk away hungry.

The food was great, took a while for the food to be cooked and the young female patrons at the table right next to us were so loud and rude which showed the disrespect they have for others it's all about them disgusting it was my first time there and I'll never go there again I pity the owners having to put up with that disrespect

Highly recommend The National Hotel!
I recently had my 30th here and booked the rooftop function room. Everything leading up to the night was easy and efficient, any questions I had were answered within a prompt timeframe and everything was extremely reasonable with multiple options offered for food and the drinks tab! On the night the service of drinks and food were spot on, all my guests were raving about how tasty and generous the canapés were! If you are looking for a function space for your next event, I would recommend checking The National Hotel out!

Lovely dinner at National Hotel. Staff are so friendly, inviting and happy to help. The food was absolutely delicious and so were the cocktails! A huge thankyou to Riley and Santosh for their cocktail expertise and Mel for the warm welcome on arrival. The rooftop bar had a great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back for dinner again!

6 stars if I could give it 6 stars. Had a booking for 20 people on a Saturday, the rooftop is amazing. Bar and wait staff were so nice and friendly, food was fantastic and so was the service. The rooftop is so pretty, will definitely be visiting again.

Amazing service! We held a baby shower at this venue over the weekend. The service from all of the lovely staff was incredible! The staff went above and beyond to give us the best day! Everyone that attended the shower was very impressed with not only the event space, the food was amazing!
If you are thinking of holding an event at the national, do it! You won’t be disappointed, our day was beyond perfect!
