Garden State Hotel

Outdid my expectations so much! An amazing dinner and drinks from Garden State Hotel in the CBD. 
✨broccoli Cesar salad - $21
✨salami pizza - $24 
✨fries - $10
The indoor outdoor feel of this spacious and beautiful pub in the city is incredible. It’s spread across 2 levels and a mezzanine level, with multiple bars throughout. Although the ambience of a CBD pub with density restrictions and no office workers is not the best, it was a still a great vibe - and I actually visited this place once a few years back and can fully attest to the incredible packed vibes on a Friday night they usually have. 
Their food is a par above any other pub I’ve ever been to. The menu itself has a great selection, and the Caesar salad I got was extremely generous and one of the best salads I’ve ever had for sure. I would come back here again and again for that food.
The drinks are good, pretty standard and pretty usual pricing $20 for an espresso martini, etc. 
Definitely an incredible place to go for casual, but fun, and delicious. Honestly such a rare and incredible mix of everything you want for a dining out / drinking out experience. Would highly recommend.
