I love the Acorn , whenever I enter it's like a big hug , the food, service , staff and familiar patrons are all so homey, friendly and a safe place.. Awesome bands too. Maybe one negative, keep the coffee machine on a bit longer many times unable to get a coffee and still early.

The owner/manager delivers exceptional service and could not be more accommodating. Fantastic venue with great live music and atmosphere, a gorgeous open deck and great pub style food. One of my favourite hang outs!

Great staff, good wines and wonderful food. Very quiet but I suppose that is to be expected on a Wednesday.

I requested to be placed at a table where we could see the band because the whole purpose of going to The Acorn was to see Standing Room Only. We were place in the furthest table possible from the band. I was very disappointed

A new place for myself and my friends to dine at. Service from all staff was good and pleasant. Fireplace was lovely to sit near and music was good although loud. Worth a visit.
