Grand Terminus Hotel Bairnsdale, Bairnsdale VIC

Despite not having a booking the team in the bistro were able to fit my husband and I in for a Thursday night dinner.

The venue was busy... a sign of things to come!

Great to see a few interesting vegetarian options on a country pub menu. Enjoyed the Buddha bowl and hubby enjoyed the beef and mushroom pie with mash and peas.

We enjoyed a pre dinner drink each and the whole experience was lovely.

Would recommend this pub for a good meal at
Pub prices.

Oh so disappointing to be leaving this review. We've eaten at the "Term" at least a couple of times a year for the past few years, and have always enjoyed great food and top notch service from well trained staff. Last night (Friday 4 October) we arrived for our 7pm booking and were rushed through our two-course meal in under an hour. We were only halfway through our entrees when our mains arrived. On politely objecting, we were told by the staff member delivering the plates "it's because we're very busy and you ordered simple mains". At which point he left the plates and disappeared. A few minutes later we flagged down another staff member to order another drink, mentioning what had happened - she made the right noises but didn't actually seem to think it was an issue. Apart from delivering our drinks and clearing our plates that was the last we saw of anyone. No water until asked for. No dessert or coffee offered. On paying, no query as to whether we had enjoyed our meal/evening (the food was more than ok). The restaurant was at least 80% full at 7.15pm, but 40 minutes later it was down to about 25% - so the rush can't have been because they needed to turn our table.
Hope it was just an "off" night.

Stayed here for a business trip for 4 days. Rooms are newly renovated and comfortable. Can't hear anything from the pub downstairs.
The food is delicious that we ate dinner there every night we stayed :) eye fillet steak was cooked perfectly with local wine options to drink by the glass.
Highly recommend:)

Steak was exceptionally good, and my wife also thoroughly enjoyed her chorizo carbonara. Staff were really, really friendly as well, which I respect. Prices are also pretty reasonable. Will return, if I get the opportunity.

Very friendly staff, amazing atmosphere and incredible food! 100% recommended, a great place for everything!
