First visit here and was suitably impressed.
Went for lunch, with a group of work colleagues for a pre Christmas get together.
Service was friendly and speedy and the steak sandwich I ordered was divine! Very tender steak, with bacon, fried onion, relish, lettuce and served on a long bun that had been toasted. Yummy seasoned fries on the side, presented on a wooden bread board. If you wanted an egg as well, it was an extra $1.50.
There is also a nice outdoor area to sit in (walk through the restaurant to get there) plus table and chairs on the front footpath. Perfect for a warm day.
The only drawback was the parking. Metered parking that requires you keep an eye on the time or there is a Wilson car park almost next door but that is only open weekdays til 7pm.
A great spot. Be happy to go back.

Approximate cost: $19

Absolutely adore this place have been going here since in late 20s now in 40s still go here, the staff are nice and friendly, reasonably priced beverages, good atmosphere what more can people ask for for friday after work drinks, saturday arvo drinks and lunch, the food is luvly and reasonably priced

The Wakefield Hotel is a great city pub with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. There is a vast selection of meals on offer, with great daily specials. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Very accommodating when organising a large work function also.

We went to a wedding reception here. The food was absolutely wonderful. Really tasty and generous portions too. Unfortunately they only had the one staff member on. She was fantastic, and did a great job, but she really needed some help. It made it slow to get a drink.

Good place in the city to go for after-work drinks, comfortable couches, reasonable service. Prices are fairly standard. Needs some more night life.
