The views are brilliant. The food is a great price. Generous servings and tastes delicious! Staff are friendly and welcoming. Service is wonderful. Highly recommend, even with renovations going on!

Was average as checking in was quite poor. To get into the carpark meant waiting in a line of 20 guests trying to checkin or existing guests asking for assistance.
No recognition of hotel loyalty or upgrade but they were busy.
Staff and guests not wearing masks as state government made it mandatory. Social distancing was not thing.
Rooms were dated but nice. Clean and good amenities. No bottled water in room???

Poor service on "Booked" work function. Missing meals, collect meals from bar on some highly disorganised way (based on the number of staff on). Won't be back under these circumstances. Drink service was fine.

A great view of the beach, although main seats with views are inside. Nice inside and friendly staff yet I noticed a few tables wait for their orders (mainly cocktails) longer then 20 minutes before having to go remind them, ourselves then having the same problem. Seemed to all related to ordering off the table order qr codes as they don't check the order print outs often. Late at night turns into a nice nightclub with good drinks specials. Perfect place to spend your time especially if staying at the attached Oaks Hotel

Had food at the beachfront bistro, and it was very average for the price. We waited for an hour for our food. The place wasn't busy, so I don't know why it took so long. They brought wrong drinks to our table. They forgot our entree.

Disappointed with breakfast, not up to price standards, eggs overcooked and order didn't come out to complete had to ask for remaining food. Had to request for cutlery + salt n pepper. Staff not wearing their masks all the time serving

A little out of the way but that's fine. Not too busy during the day, plenty of seating including views of the sea. Good range of beer.
Massive screen playing horse racing if you like that sort of thing.
Not crafty but has some Coopers. Need XPA on tap.

Bar staff were lovely. That’s was all that was. Lots of broken glass under our table, glass bifold doors covered in hand prints. Then the food scallops so small and over cooked. Chips cold, fish just revolting worst entree and seafood platter I have ever had. Would not go back.

Ive eaten at the Pier a few times and the meals have always been good. I had salt and pepper squid last weekend and I thought it had been better on previous visits but it was still pretty good. Everyone else I went with was happy with their meal too. The views are great and I really enjoy the live cover bands on a Friday night.

I didn't realise it when I walked into this bar but it is actually park of the Oaks Apartment Hotel that sits on the Glenelg foreshore. Since all of these apartments have suddenly appeared on the Glenelg foreshore over the years it was a little difficult to work out what it a part of the hotel complex and what wasn't. While I've never been a huge fan of the bars that you find in hotels, this one actually wasn't all that bad. They have a nice balcony (though one of the overlooks a carpark and the hotel opposite, which isn't all that great, but another does overlook the beach

Dinner tonight in the front bar of the pier with a party of 9 people.. Called ahead and pre booked a table which was a good idea as there seemed to be only a small dining section layed out for dinner and we all seemed to be squished into the one area towards the beachfront end.. Everyone at our table had scoopons except for us as we are vego and the scoopon was for platter of meat & seafood.. Ordered two veggie burgers and wow very pleasantly surprised they were actually really really good.. $16.90 and it came with small wire basket of chips on the side.. It was actually better than some of

Today hubby and I wanted to be somewhere coastal so we took ourselves to The Pier at Glenelg for lunch.

It's a very welcoming place with gorgeous views. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
I went up to the bar to place my order and the server was busy with another customer who wasn't quite sure what she wanted however the server still took the time to acknowledge me and said she'd be with me in a moment.
I love that! All businesses should take notice of customers no matter what their trade is.

Hubby and I chose a sharing platter so that we could sample a few different

Massive servings at really reasonable prices, I had salt and pepper squid for 20.90 and my friends has massive schnitzels for 19.90 - I'm talking falling off the already huge plate. Awesome food (best I've had in a while) and awesome service. 11/10!

I've been five or so times, during the day and at night time, and I've always had pleasant experiences here.

The bartenders are really friendly, and it's a good spot to catch up with friends during the day while sitting in front of the windows looking out at the beach.

Good place to go for a drink.. Can get really busy weekends and crammed.
Great to sit outside on a nice day or an evening and look over at the beach and watch the sunset with a few wines/beers.

Ahhhh Sunday arvos, the perfect time to catch up on some book work, do some weeding or clean the bathroom! Pffft, whatever, I'll sink some piss instead!

Once in a while I find myself down at the Pier with mates on a Sunday arvo for some brewskis on the balcony. I have also found myself there on the odd weekend evening also but haven't really felt the same vibe as I have on a Sunday arvo. It probably has more to do with my mood than anything else, but there you have it!

The nights I have been there on the turps it has not been overly crowded, but I gather it does get a bit more packed

There are two sides to the Pier at Glenelg. One of which is good, and one of which is bad. There is the nightclub side where the crowd gets overly rowdy, and a lot of over-age drinking occurs. Yes, I said over-age. I would conclude that this is the bad side. Then there is the day, hotel and function side of The Pier. This side caters for a completely different environment with a much better (in my opinion) ambience.

During the day, The Pier is more than idyllic with large windows overlooking crashing waves, and a balcony situated at the foot of the marina. I have located here for breakfast and
