Hotel Bruny

I can only comment on the food. Kids menu was fine. However, market fish of the day was not tasty at all today. It stunk really bad upon arrival to the table, yet extremely bland, the sauce was overloaded with vinegar, the broccoli was charcoal burnt, I was unable to eat it. The pumpkin was good and tasty. Then it took them over 20 minutes to bring an icecream dessert to my 6 yr old kid.. he was already in tears and asking us to forget about it and just leave, when they finally brought it!! The wine was decent and the atmosphere was pleasant. The worst was having a table right in front /outside of the WC. It’s not hygienic, smells, and is not what one is expecting when trying to eat.. to smell other people’s poops.. It’s a massive never again! Thank you but no thanks..

Went for dinner. Menu spoke of showcasing the local produce with an unusual sincerity, prices were average for a modern pub in a semi-touristy area, so my expectation was an okay meal and moderate contentment. Portion size was great, and the quality was fantastic. Staff were lovely too. Would definitely come again if I'm in the area

My partner and I were celebrating our special day in Bruny, and looking for a place to have dinner. I’m very glad that we chose Hotel Bruny!! The food’s soo good, we had the special menu which is Vandaloo Chicken (tastyyy!!!), lamb linguini and seafood chowder (we rate it 10/10 !!!!!). The staff is very nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very cosy (it’s warm inside). And it’s a nice spot to watch a sunset. Will come back for sure !!!

I didn't stay so can only comment on the service food Nd drinks. Market fish was under cooked. I do not think they understand what a deconstructed souvlaki is, but the souvlaki had the strongest taste of Vegemite it was rank. When approached this to a staff member they said you can either eat it or leave it, what other options do you have. I tried to explain the rank taste but gave up and left. As for the drinks I am fairly certain that they are still being made. Asked for a lemonade and a coke and they weren't delivered by the time we left. Very rude staff. I know it's the only pub but go to the Penticost Wilderness restaurant if it is open

The food here was absolutely amazing! My husband and I almost cried at how good the food was here. It was so good we came back for lunch and dinner the next day. We will absolutely be travelling back to bruny island just to come here again!

Lovely, vintage casual vibe where you can try local ciders and have some of the freshest seafood available. The seafood chowder speaks for itself. But it’s the atmosphere, combined with the food, that makes for a comfortable dining experience that feels like you’re home. Great spot to relax and enjoy all that Bruny Island has to offer on your way to seeing the coastline and the wildlife in this beautiful, rustic atmosphere.

Great service front The bar staff! Meals are very good value! Are really nice! Incredible tasting squid rings!! And great view

We had a lovely meal here when staying on Bruny Island. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The fish and chips were the best meal we had on our holiday, and the negroni was perfect. Thanks!

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.
