Visited Docklands and found James Squires at the end of the boardwalk. Beautiful outlook back towards the city- indoor and outdoor seating. Simple pub menu. Lamb shank was divine- meat fell off the bone, served with a simple potato mash. My husband had the seafood linguini - lots of calamari, fish and prawns in a creamy sauce. Big meals in... More

Second mortgage to buy a pint. Nice stuff, but too pricey.

Nice pub tucked away in Docklands with a view of the water and great James Squire beers. Perfect before or after a visit to the football or on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Reasonable pub grub such as dips, fries, steak sandwich or fish and chips. Avoid ordering the Spiced Golden Meatballs - $13.50 for two meatballs!

Firstly, we only get an hour for lunch so we rang at 11am to place our order and told them what time we would arrive (1.10pm as we were walking straight from... More

My best advice would be for the... More

Steak was either too cooked or too raw and sauce has absolutely no flavour.

After enduring a horrid experience at Rydges Hotel (don't go there!) we really needed a nice night out and got it at James Squire. We liked the ambience from the second we stepped in and the staff were exceptionally friendly and genuine. The service was speedy and the food excellent. We felt like a plain old fashioned meal - steak... More

Big food.
