the post office hotel

the post office is a nice chill pub in the heart of coburg. love to go there every now and then for a few drinks with mates.. the place has its own pretty little beer garden too and if you are hungry the bar food doesn’t disappoint either.

fabulous service and food!. just ate here for mother's day lunch and the place was heaving with adults and lots of boisterous little kids the staff were unflappable, friendly and efficient the food was delicious we had pizza, parmas, the coburger and a kids chicken and chips can highly recommend this place to anyone especially if you have kids!

it was busy night for them, however we were 6 people at the table. i ordered my food first and i said orders can come in order, not at a same time. i ordered parma with no chips. all my friends ordered after me and they all received their food in 20 minutes. i asked where my food is 3 times. it finally came after 1 hour. the salad with my parma, 10cm long and wide lettuce with no tomato and cucumber and no taste dressing, large onion rings which culd not fit on my fork or mouth. i am aso a chef i make chicken dish with avocado dip, pita bread, chips and perfectly made salad and im charging it $19 and i paid $26 for my disgusting meal and wating for 1 hour.

pfft.. pompus bar tenders that treat you as though you are wasting their time? since when was it exclusive to go to a venue for a bar meal and a drink? the thing that i moved to coburg for was the unpretensious attitude by the locals. now these douchebags open up a 'trendy' pub with eating facilities and then feel the need to treat you like a cow getting herded into a cattle truck? lift ya game ya dogs!

expensive for a pub in this area. the food is generally very tasty focusing more on the quality than quantity. can try too hard to be fancy. cous cous salad with a parma just isn't right! very poor cut of beef on mothers day and was left quite disappointed.

great venue but way overpriced. had the banquet at $45 for shared entree and main with shared sides. we had to order extra sides to feed every one as we were given cereal bowls of a salad and potatoes. the meat was cooked well but it didn't seem to be 300g.. one of the waitresses was extremely rude.. to a point where we asked for more water.. she had to check the jug herself before taking it from the table.

i won't be eating in the dining ever again, maybe the pub is a better option.

bit pricey and over the top. being a local i'd heard a fair bit about it so took the girlf for a nice dinner. there was a big party in so food took a while and 3 mains were off as a result. we both went for the steak, nicely cooked and tasty with lovely accompaniments. it did take an hour to arrive. with regards to wine, for a bottle be prepared to fork out a minimum of $40 for a bottle & $50+ for anything half decent. for me this is too much for a gastro pub and i was disappointed to have a bill of $100 for two mains and a bottle of red....

we were a group of four on a friday evening, seven pm. when we arrived the staff were really nice and attentive. we were served well for drinks and our food orders. the food was pretty disappointing. the club sandwich (what do you think of when you hear club sandwich) was a few ingredients between two slices of toast. no layers, not even cut in half. just a square, falling apart, toast with layers. the daily special was trout, no flavour at all. we had to ask 4 times for our plates to be cleared. by 8 pm they were severely understaffed. there were people all over the room trying to get a waiter for service. the staff weren’t bad, there just weren’t enough of them. in that huge room on a friday night i think there were four or five staff. we went out the back to get an after dinner drink. we couldn’t get anyone to serve us at the bar. they have a bar out the back that’s not open at all, even though there’s a full beer garden. i went to the toilet, and there was no toilet paper in any of the toilets. it was only 9pm on a friday night and they were out paper! there wasn’t even a stash you could get for yourself. we used to go regularly to the post office years ago when it first opened. i don’t know how they’ve let it go like this, but we’ll never be back. it’s just not good enough, and there’s so many better options. it’s not hard people! service and toilet paper!

rude service. we live around the neighborhood, and just came here for a quick coffee today. did not feel welcoming and the staff that served us has an attitude. not leaving here happy. it is such a pity to see this happen in a nice place like this, because we don't feel like coming back anymore...

the post office is our local and we get here when we can. the bistro is large, modern and a great spot to have dinner - a good selection of steaks, and other plates covering some of europe and the middle east among other flavours. definitely at restaurant level, not the grubby pub stuff (although you can get a fish and chips or a parma in the front bar and they're both good). regular live music and the venue has a good muso-centric vibe but with polish. highly recommended if this sounds like your thing.

boo. the service here was great but unfortunately the food was actually quite disappointing.. i had the lamb shoulder which i really didn't like.. i could tell the ingredients were of good quality but the dish wasn't nice.. i'll probably try again at some stage and maybe try a different dish..

disappointing to be told your meals are 8 minutes away and then wait another twenty. this came after a thirty plus minute wait. simply not good enough.

i'll be back..... we had a booking for 10 of us. what a great night!  we had the banquet pre-ordered which included the goat. food, food and more food!!! it was scrumptious. the staff were on-the-ball. the drinks flowed (including table water) where some places you need to keep asking for.   i've since returned with my boys for a quiet night and once again excellent food and service.

pretty cool little pub the beef cheek was amazing will def have to go back

we will be returning!. just visited the the post office hotel (the new part next door) with my husband and 2 yr old. the food was top notch, service fantastic and the ambience - awesome.

we split a pulled pork sandwich and a wagyu burger followed by some very creative desserts (and coffee).

absolutely superb/ reasonable prices.

full of middle age parents with very young kids and toddlers. high chair was supplied and nothing was too much to accommodate our miss.

highly recommend. an excellent addition to coburg.
