Orbost Club Hotel

Dined on Wednesday 15 Oct 2025 Let’s seperate food from service. Service 1/5 - the 4 owners of this pub must understand that pubs are a service industry. Take note. The young guy serving behind the bar in the dining room tonight needs serious customer service training. His attitude is a disgrace, he can’t smile to save himself, both my table and the table next to us complained about the length of time to both receive food, and the taste of one of their beers and he just grunted and shrugged his shoulders like he couldn’t care less, zero personality and zero customer service. You the owners take note, either commit training to these people or get them out of your business as they are the face of your business and it’s currently a terrible look. Food 4/5 After 50 minutes the entree and mains came out together. The food was really good, both of us were really impressed with the quality, size, presentation, was a really good feed, great pub feed and would definitely come back and recommend the food, well done. The flavours were really good. This is a very honest review as you must understand service is just as important if not more important.

Ok. To put it simply, I loved my lunch here. One of the owners took our order, made our drinks, and served our delicious meal. A friendly man, he showed me a picture of Craig's hut on one of their walls and shared info on where to go when I mentioned the movie The Man from Snowy River. The schnitzel and veggies were perfect and the gummy shark was excellent. He made the best Lemon Lime Bitters of trip. The men at the bar were also lovely and friendly to this American. I think one thing I loved was the article about four men having a dream. I highly recommend eating here...it felt a bit like home...

The "Bottom Pub" (aka 'Orbost Club Hotel') has a nice community history as their web says "4 local lads took it over in 2023 working hard to bring life back into the pub"?......it spruiks the dining & wines too, but I think they have a little way to go yet as it was honestly a pretty average evening. Garlic bread, Salmon mains & Pork roast of day were tasty enough. Atmosphere was full - just no real vibe. None of the 'local' Chardonnay wine on their wine list was in stock

Best pub restaurant in Victoria!! We drove around Victoria for 3 weeks staying in hotels and motels. This place didn’t have accommodation but it was the only eatery in town open that night. The standard of food and service in this beautifully clean pub was exceptional and one of the best country pubs we have come across in Qld, NSW and Vic.

We went for drinks and dinner today, well done guys, the atmosphere and friendliness was amazing, and the food was very nice. Such a great place to go , walking distance from the caravan park. 10/10.

Lovely day out with lunch at the Orbost Club Hotel, a hidden gem. Absolutely the the best food and very reasonable prices. I had the melt in your mouth steak sandwich just the best and Michael had crispy fried squid, 9 large pieces that were just so good. Friendly locals as was Craig the publican. Highly recommend
