Great meal, love the veal parmigiana, beautiful staff food and service, the staff member we got had the best recommendation for the food and combos. This is a classic Aussie pub with a country town vibe. It's honestly the last good pub in Coburg. It still has gambling but it's not really in your face. The decor in the bistro is comfortable with the old walls and feel of the building still present. They have tried to keep the traditional feel without the classic Coburg commercialization feel of the pub which has happened across Australia to my dismay. It gets pretty crowded for food so be prepared to book for larger groups it's popular and for a good reason. They have good food, good beer and great company. Still the best. Thank you.

Was disgusted with the service and the food and will never go there again. Ordered lightly floured calamari but got little pieces (size of 10c coin) of deep fried crunchy calamari that were mostly batter and no calamari . A friend wanted just salad and roast veggies was told she had to pay price of a main which was $26 for salad and veggies. The occasion before this my friend was served FROZEN lamb shanks that were still frozen in the middle that had to be returned twice to be warmed up . Will definitely not be going back there again !!!

Hi my name is Lisa , I was there on Sunday the 14th for Mother’s Day lunch that my son had a booking,the staff were very friendly and welcoming I ordered the Mother’s Day Menü the mushroom soup was delicious and the roasted salmon and veggies was also excellent, the food was fresh and presentation was excellent and prices were very reasonably priced I enjoyed my lunch and I would highly recommend to anyone. I would definitely be going back to the Drums Hotel excellent service

Can't speak for the food, only the care and service from the team. Stopped in to use the amenities during a long dog walk and the staff attended to my dog tied up outside, ensured I wasn't staying to gamble and leave him out there and also provided him with water and treats. If they treat the humans that attend half as well as the hounds then you will be more than looked after. Will be back to have a feed one night based on this small experience. Good job Stu and team!

It's everything you can expect as your local pub. The staff are lovely, friendly and most importantly very helpful. They're up for a chat and will most certainly look after you and your meals very well. They have gluten free gravy and sauces if you're like me with Coeliac Disease. And the chef did a great job at explaining how the meal I wanted was cooked. 4/5 stars, nothing fancy but great staff and great food

Good variety of gaming machines and meals are decent. I usually have at least a little win when I go there, I even won the grand jackpot on one machine there the day before my birthday. But that was just one time...So on that thought don't take my word as far as ur judgement goes, my keen thoughts on this joint maybe for just that reason

Very welcoming staff with great smiles and service! As Queenslanders we knew nothing of this lovely pub until we left the movies over the road. Great menu with good specials and value. The 'Head Accountant' was very friendly and attentive. Meal was huge despite ordering smaller size and delicious. Really clean and comfortable with terrific atmosphere! We'll be back

Drums Hotel is my go to local Pub. Spent today there with a group of friends for lunch, drinks & watch the Anzac match. Really relaxed atmosphere, staff are super friendly & food is always a winner. For anyone looking for a great Pub do yourself a favour & go to Drums.

Chicken parmigiana ordered 2 for me and my partner. And we believe it was Off Low Quality. It Used to be well made but now its Not The Good standard . The sauce was like spaghetti sauce “ not enough sauce too “.

I must thank all your staff today for your fantastic service. We had to cancel last week due to my mother in laws nursing home going into lock down. Your professionalism is second to none. Special thanks to Sam. A true stand out. See you all soon. …

This pub is the worst in the area. The staff are terribly inattentive... This may be standard, but there seems to always be junkies and old scammers trying to steal your pokies money. I wish they would clean it up and retrain their staff. But they wont.

The staff super nice, the machines mostly fair and I rarely leave without a pocket filling jackpot. Thanks drums! Also a shout out to the chef, rarely do u find a steak cooked to perfection the way his steak is! A great value unforgettable

The service is amazing. Staff are very caring, the place is clean and nice to eat at. The food not so much- cheesy garlic bread was good.... but the parma had a weird sauce I have never tasted on a parma before. Our salmon was really dry,.

First time here. Meal portions were really good, as were the meals. We ate buffalo wings, Thai beef salad, burger with the lot and parma chips and salad and no gravy. Asked for the Buffalo wings as an entree but it came out 5 minutes

Caught up with friends and had a lovely meal. Service was great and food was delicious. Would go back again

Happy winning $900. This place has its moments, one thing that needs attention is staff customer service. Never happy with the manner of staff members, favoritizing the locals and neglects everyone else. Could improve …

Fourth visit here. Last 3 times food excellent. Last night very poor, not sure, maybe different chef? Worse was took 4 friends and told them how good it was!

Good Parma, friendly service. Also understanding security when one of your mates has had too much to drink and won a lot on the machines. Will drum again!

Nice local pub. The essentials all done well. Nothing flashy, just good food and a bunch of TVs showing sport. Parma was solid but would have liked a bit more chips.

Bloody good steak. Lack of ambience, and ciders that aren’t lolly water but a bloody good steak.

Friendly and attentive service, tasty meals, and the best vanilla slice.
