Mullaloo Beach Hotel

Lunch today on a glorious sunny winter’s day. Whilst this is our local we don’t come here often as we never seem to have a very positive or memorable experience. Today we found things had changed yet again. Take a menu, seat yourself and order/​pay at bar. Food is delivered to your table. Lunch menu special was a bit confusing but good value at $ 29 with drink, entre & main but no explaination of the «house» wine & beer choice or entre choice listed as «chefs daily special» with no one around to help & no chalkboard listing the daily special — this needs to be sorted out. Drinks menu lacks enough local options especially no Aussie champagne. With that said I chose the fish tacos which I loved for $ 16. Fresh & light. The lunch special Mumm french champagne for $ 12 instead of $ 15 as listed on the main drinks menu came in a suspiciously petite glass. For dessert I chose an espresso martini which was nicely presented but the 4 coffee beans at the bottom were soggy.

Not sure if this has changed recently as the décor is quite different — had breakfast here for Mother’s Day, not great. Servings were a little small and options pretty basic. Have had great dinners here in the past so maybe it was an off day.

After checking out the reviews before our girls lunch I wasn’t too excited about returning to this venue after a few years. Interesting new décor with the view of course bring the winning focal point. Not too sure about the sacks on the ceiling though. Nervous about my food choice after the many negative reviews I went for the steak sandwich which after an hour wait was pretty tasty– and by then I was certainly hungry. The other girls were also pretty happy with their meals but all agreed the service was pretty poor with the time delay and no staff on the floor to clear dishes etc. On a positive note, it was a better experience than I was expecting and perhaps after reading some of the reviews the venue might make a few changes to make this a great venue.

Great quality food, size for price is excellent. Friendly service and great location across from the beach. Pretty small inside for a rainy day but in summer the balcony is really nice

Restaurant is pricey but good
Bar is pricey and terrible. Overcrowded by bogans, particularly on the balcony in the arvo where all the rats tail having douchebags seem to conglomerate to smoke, give strangers the stink eye and show off their new shit tattoos.
The staff are your perth standard: no personality, no style and no ability to remember more than one drink at a time. What happened to the SERVICE industry in this town?
Oh and this place is cash only… For any larger business, particularly a bar, to be cash only in this day an age 1) shows a complete tightass mentality from the owners 2) severely degrades efficiency of service when busy and 3) shows disregard for consumer habits. The fact that the ATM at the MBH is the only one for miles and is regularly, if not always broken shows this place just doesn’t care about serving you at all.
Avoid the bar here, particularly at the busier times and definitely on Sunday’s if you are older than 18

What a disappointment.
I had been craving a seafood platter lately and wanted to not venture out too far so I invited my dad to Mullaloo Beach Hotel for their platter.
In the chef’s defense — everything on our platter was cooked well and the quality of the produce was pleasing. But other than that I wasn’t too impressed.
Service was lacking in the restaurant. When we barely sat down to look at the menu we had two waitresses ask us what we would like to order when we had not looked at the drinks menu yet. They also didn’t bring us any water/​offer to bring any water. Then we waited so long it was a bit ridiculous because we had to try and grab the attention of them despite the place not being busy.
Ask us what we want before we see the menu then not talk to us again for ages? that seems a bit annoying.
The offerings on the seafood platter at $ 120 a pop were not interesting at all. It was actually very boring. We had salmon, barramundi cooked nicely but with no kind of seasoning or sauce. Some average calamari and chips. 6 oysters (half kilpatrick, half natural) and some juicy big prawns but once again nothing was interesting about them.
There was no scallops, mussels or crab. It would have been nice if maybe they cooked the prawns in some butter and garlic but no. Nothing exciting, nothing special just a big waste of money.
I think Mullaloo Beach Hotel relies way too much on the location (as you look over the sea near the beach). But I was pretty disappointed because I rarely splurge on a nice feast for myself and a family member and I was expecting something much better.

Unfortunately I have to give it three stars due to the poor service. Chef is outstanding and you must try the mushroom bruschetta– soooooooo delish. Food is awesome, view is amazing, now if they could just figure out how to provide a decent service experience.

I like to try the steak sandwich atleast once at each pub I’ve visited. Had the open beef sandwich here and was alright but for $ 18.90 for a pub lunch bit steep as I’ve enjoyed cheaper and better from a lot of others around this area. No bacon but the chili chutney was different. Would rather bacon. I’m reviewing the steak sandwich not the place. The place is fine.

When I first met my wife 22 years ago we lived next to the OLD Mullaloo pub. It was great. Bar fights, cold beer, bikies, steak sangers, police — the lot!
So now it’s all of the above with a few more frocks around and TVs with the footy on.
We live around the corner, so it’s the go to. Food’s pretty good, beers are cold still, steak sangers are a bit more fancy and exxy. But we like it and we keep coming. Mullaloo is not overly blessed with joints to eat out at…
Come and have a look, just don’t stare too long at the locals across the bar. They’re still feisty and memories of the downstairs pool bar brawls in the old joint still resonate…

Mullaloo Beach Hotel is located on Oceanside Promenade, looking out to the over the picturesque coastline. The Décor on the inside and outside in gentle on the eyes unfortunately I can’t say that about the patrons. For such a beautiful location and nice looking Hotel/​Bar/​Restaurant it sure does attract a number of Bogans.
Unfortunately this does actually ruin the place for me. The Service is decent, the tunes are average if you like 92.9’s top 20 then you would love it and the food and drinks are decent at average prices.
The Sunday Sesh is very popular, always overcrowded so don’t bother if you’re looking for a chilled out mellow Sunday Afternoon/​Evening.
Such a shame that such a spectacular spot is wasted on a terrible crowd.

Let’s be honest. Sunday session is never usually what we make it out to be in our heads. We imagine cool beers on a hot Sunday sitting at a table with your friends overlooking the ocean. If that’s everything you want in a Sunday sesh, DON’T GO TO MBH. Repeat, DO NOT GO TO MBH. It’s hot, cramped, full to the brim with yobbos and there is never usually a table free.
The best experience I have ever had in the bar section is winning a free midori key chain that lights up. End of cool stories about MBH.
Directly next door, however, is the adjoining restaurant wherein my friend and I found solace when dragged out to another suck sesh. The hot chips and aioli actually make it worthwhile going to Mullaloo. If I am ever going to go back to MBH it will be for those chips. Now, I don’t know if I’m bigging them up in my head in relation to the relative shitness of the bar but all I know is that day they were absolutley fabulous.

This place could be amazing, in the perfect location opposite one of Perth’s nicest beaches, newly decorated and open everyday. So why have I given MBH a 1 star rating? I understand there is no way I can hear your response and to be honest its me asking a question to myself. Either way, here is the answer.
The crowd, the bar staff and the music (if we can call it that) is the basic answer. I know others will say differently, in fact judging by the cramped in friday nights and the packed out sunday sessions, I’d say a few people disagree with me.
Durning the day and some week nights the bar can be nice, watch the sunset on the balcony and enjoy the quiet. Its a whole different place on the weekend, a place that I would avoid. Unless you like poor music, mixed by a poor DJ, a rowdy crowd with fights out the front and full of ‘slutty’ girls. If that sounds like your idea of a party then MBH is perfect for you!
The other side of MBH is a restaurant and it is just lovely! It is a real shame that the bar side and restaurant side are part of the same place.
MBH also holds events such as ‘Miss Mullaloo’ and ‘Who looks best in a cocktail dress’. showing girls parading down a run-​way in front of a crowd of mainly middle aged men dressed in their fluro work tops, and shouting things at the ‘girls’ and wolf whistling. Another classy aspect to this bar.
Honestly if I was you, I would stay away from that place.
