Seagulls Nest Club - Newport

My companions and I, along with other customers, had an incredibly negative experience at this restaurant, to the point where we have no intention of returning. While chatting with some patrons at the bar, we were informed that our laughter was too disruptive for the pokie players in the establishment. We were then advised to move to the non-smoking area to continue our conversation. However, we were subsequently denied service altogether because our volume was deemed inappropriate for the quiet atmosphere preferred by pokie players. This establishment heavily focuses on pokies, and I intend to report their discriminatory behavior to the OLGR, as it clearly promotes gambling above all else. When I mentioned to the bar staff that my husband has ADHD and tends to be loud as a result, the shift manager, Mitchell, disclosed that he too has ADHD and takes medication for it. I am concerned about the venue's stance on mental health issues and will be pursuing this matter further.

I had a great time dining at this restaurant. The staff is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and you can even play the pokies if you're interested.

This restaurant is essentially a bar located within a football club, situated in a corner of a gaming venue with seats and tables. The menu offers cheap pub food of average quality, amidst the noise of patrons, gaming machines, and TVs broadcasting horse racing and sports. During my visit, I ordered a Felafel Burger but was informed that they were out of falafel and asked if chicken would suffice instead. The chicken burger I received consisted of a chicken schnitzel cut in half, sandwiched between a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. The accompanying straw chips were overly salted.

I have enjoyed eating here the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is great and you have the pokies if you want play.

This is really just a football club's bar, with some seats and tables in the corner of a pokies venue. It has cheap pub food of not great quality and is surrounded by the noise of patrons, pokie machines, and TVs tuned to horse racing and sport. I ordered a Felafel Burger and was surprised when I was not offered the menu choice of salad OR chips. They then came back and told me there were no felafels and would chicken do. My chicken burger was chicken schnitzel cut into two, between a toasted bun with some lettuce, tomato and purple onion. It came with over-salted straw chips.
