Australian Hotel Ballina

Lovely old pub with a new feel. Staff in all areas were lovely. Good and drinks was also very good.

The best Mexican ever.
It's my weekly must have . Staff in the restaurant are lovely and the food amazing ! Love it

We spontaneously booked a room for one night as we were only passing through. We weren't expecting much as we had already seen our room online. But when we checked in it turned out that it was a completely different room. It was very run down, the furniture was very old and the mirror was half broken. We were visited by two beetles that evening. One came out of my towel. The fan was also so dusty that we could never turn it on. The smell in the room was very disgusting as it was a mixture of smoke, cooking fat and mould. As I said, we weren't expecting much but this was really the worst room we've ever stayed in after a year of travelling around the world. You can get much better guesthouse rooms for the same price. It really isn't recommended! This review only applies to the hotel rooms, not the pub.

We came for the Mexican, upon good recommendation, and we weren't disappointed. The courtyard of the pub has been transformed into a little slice of Mexico. Tacos were excellent, kids tacos (which they assemble themselves, a great touch) were brilliant, and the churros great!
We were served by a lady named Destiny, and she was helpful, attentive and a good asset to the venue. Will definitely return when we visit Ballina next.

Went here for dinner. The Mexican food this pub serves is unbelievable good. Probably close to the best I've ever had. It was a surprise because I thought I was walking in to get a standard Aussie pub meal, but the Mexican and other food options including burgers were exceptional. Has to have a very good chef I'm guessing. Great prices too. Absolutely 5 stars!
