3 /5 T B: HQ Gastropub has a fantastic location, which initially drew us in. However, the overall experience didnt quite meet our expectations. The food portions were disappointingly small, leaving us feeling like we didnt get our moneys worth. Additionally, the drinks were on the pricey side, making it hard to justify the cost.
The atmosphere was another downside. The music was incredibly loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation without shouting. This took away from the dining experience, as we couldnt fully enjoy the company of our group.
Service was slower than we anticipated. We had to wait longer than expected for our orders to arrive, and it felt like the staff was stretched thin. Despite these drawbacks, the location is undeniably great, and it could have potential with some improvements. For now, its a mixed bag.
