Great food, fast service, cocktails were fabulous, staff friendly and efficient. But the music is so loud and makes it a tad difficult to carry a conversation. Maybe they could turn the music down to a background level whilst dinner service is happening (or in the dining area) and then turn it up later in the evening ? Just a thought.

Disappointed with our night at General Public. Have visited many times before and been very happy. Whilst it was New Years Eve it wasn't that busy. Ordered platters of food but they ran out of pork for the sliders so was just chicken with a few bits of calamari. Service was slow. They chose to shut down the arcade games at 10pm which was half an hour earlier than expected.

It's a very expensive place with a limited menu, the kids meals are great but they have a pizza oven and don't do garlic and cheese pizza! The menu is so basic and almost boring. The bowling is over priced and bad quality, the lanes are in poor condition and the overall experience is poor compared to a proper bowling alley and I wouldn't mind but you pay so much so it deserves criticism. Overall the atmosphere is great and it's great for families but because of the price you can only once or twice a year.
