Hotel Bruny

Booked in for Australia day and what a great time we had. Staff were friendly, attentive and just awesome. Ate lunch it was yummy. I had the chicken schnitzel and the little lady had fish and chips. Both were fantastic. Couldn't fault our time there at all. Well done guys and gal's. We will be back.

Incredible bubbling atmosphere as it’s like the only place open for dinner on the whole island. Phenomenal staff able to manage all the hustle and bustle! Book a table! We got the seafood platter and it was average (except for the shot of seafood chowder!) but the chicken schnitzel that they are famous for looked divine.

I read the reviews and was a bit hesitant to go for dinner at this pub. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent. The dinner, one board special (beef), and one parmigiana definitely passed the pub test. It arrived at the table fairly quickly despite the fact that the place was packed. Summary: Smartly organised, great staff, good food and great service. Well done staff, that's how you run a successful business.

We stayed in one of the king lodges. The room was sleek, modern and clean with an exceptional view. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the food was excellent. Our hosts were young, energetic, friendly and responsive. We would have liked to stay longer. Highly recommend!!

We stayed in one of the villas and it was superb. Bed was so comfy, clean room and local cider as a gift. There was a great view from the bed! ||The pub that is onsite served excellent food and the staff were very knowledgeable on food allergies which was great

Great old fashioned coastal pub with helpful staff and quality food. Serves local produce across a varied menu. With very limited dining choices available on Bruny I'd highly recommend booking a day ahead - whether for lunch or dinner. Range of local spirits, beer, wine & cider. Small bottle shop attached. Family friendly too.

We had the most awesome waiter he was a young boy and was so good!! So lovely to us and had such nice presentation when giving our food. He kept working so hard the whole time making sure everyone’s happy at all tables and kept the restraint clean picking up everything left right and center!!!

We visited Hotel Bruny mid-week for dinner. I had a seafood Thai curry - hands down best pub curry I've ever had. S+P calamari, chicken parmi and kids pizzas were all top notch. Super friendly staff and quick service even though it was busy! Highly recommend!!

We decided to check out Hotel Bruny as our third pit stop as we had read that they did cider tastings. Spoiler alert: they don't! Lame. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 4:30pm). There's a restaurant and bar area. The latter has a pool table. Service was brisk and unhelpful. There's a couple specials up on a chalkboard ($28.00 to 32.00 AUD). Not cheap. The regular menu is just as pricey with oysters ($4.00 to 5.00 AUD each), starters and mains. Lots of drinks to choose from (wines, beer, cider and milkshakes). - Pagan Cider pear ($9.50 AUD) - this was our favourite of the three bottled ciders that we tried. Most flavourful and actually could taste the pear. - Pagan Cider apple & cherry ($10.50 AUD) - this one had a good finish. Cherry was subtle even though the cherry to apple ratio is 40/60. Just okay. - Mohawk apple + ginger ($9.50 AUD) - this had a good initial taste but unpleasant finish. We weren't big fans. It's a bar more for the locals. 2.5 stars.

Ok but not great. Came here for lunch and it was rather dead. I was stunned that there was no table service. I had to place my order at the bar and pay before it was delivered to my table. I felt that not having service was odd for this type of establishment. The food portions were large but the quality was so so. My wife and I had the seafood platter for two. The white fish was good the fries were awesome the best I've had in a while. But the oysters were poor and very salty and the salmon was ok nothing great. My daughter has a vegetable pot pie and it was excellent. I loved the flavor and the pie crust was flaky. They had a large variety of wine by the glass but the pour were super small.

We dropped in for lunch on our whirlwind day trip to Bruny Island and we were so glad that we did!! We ordered a seafood platter for 2 and it was amazing. There were 2 of everything - scallops, pink ling, squid, natural oysters, oysters kilpatrick, grilled salmon and hot smoked salmon with salad and chips. All the seafood was grilled and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was such a pleasure to taste the seafood properly - instead of the flavour being masked by batter or breadcrumbs. It was the highlight of our day and good value at $60.

The wife and I decided to drop in because we were staying in the cool Hotel Bruny pods you on the hill. The wife had the Tasmanian scotch fillet steak and I had the Hotel Bruny chicken parmigiana. Both were amazing. Great price for huge portions and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Great food, great accommodation, great service and ambience. Thanks! We'll be back!

update: a year later and a fresh set of smiling faces behind the bar. the food is still miraculous and the bruny island cider on tap is absolutely awesome. probably my favorite place to eat in the world! We stopped in here for an early bite with kids and were greeted with smiles and lovely conversation from Dave and Adam behind the bar. Dave spent several minutes explaining the kids menu to our little ones and they really enjoyed his light hearted banter. We enjoyed a delicious spread of fresh Tassie seafood that far surpassed our expectations. The meal was reasonably priced, and a chilled Tassie Sauv Blanc went down a treat. All in all, the meal was made even more enjoyable by the warm and personable service from all the staff. We will be back next time we are on Bruny

We went here on a tour and it was huge portions and totally delicious and the cider tasting on top of everything was fabulous!

Good modern pub menu, our dishes were both interesting and excellent, and the drinks list had some interest as well. Our top for next time - one dish and share. The menu might be hipster but the serve size is country pub - huge. If you're staying on Bruny, it's well worth the slow, looking-out-for-wildlife drive to Alonnah for dinner at the Bruny Hotel.

Came for dinner, a booking almost essential. Meals are huge. And delicious. Had the wallaby spring rolls which were strangely delicious. Great service. A little on the pricey side but with options limited, worth it.
