About us

Private dining, live music and celebrations in Collingwood

Plan your next private dinner, cocktail gathering or live-entertainment occasion at The Grace Darling Hotel in Collingwood. Our historic pub offers the private Cellar, upstairs Bandroom and semi-private Atrium, alongside restaurant and bar areas. We provide catering and beverage arrangements that can be tailored to your event.

The Cellar creates an intimate setting with a bluestone stairwell and exposed walls. It accommodates 30 seated or 60 standing guests, with a private bar, sound system and AV capabilities. You can connect a music device or discuss a DJ for your gathering.

For a larger occasion, the upstairs Bandroom accommodates 80 seated or 120 standing guests. It has its own bar, private bathrooms, lounge area and stage, making it suitable for live entertainment. The room can be divided for a smaller group. Bands and DJs are welcome by prior arrangement, and you can also use your own music device.

The glass-roofed Atrium provides a bright, leafy semi-private setting beside the main bar. It accommodates 30 seated or 40 standing guests, with a minimum of 20 people for exclusive booking. Our general function information advertises events for up to 150 across the available settings; confirm the specific space and arrangement rather than adding room capacities together.

Choose seasonal canapés, grazing tables or shared banquet dining, with dietary requirements discussed in advance. Drinks can be organised through a package, a bar tab or individual purchases. Decorations and celebration cakes can also be arranged, with the applicable conditions and service charges confirmed when booking.

Please note our event restrictions: we do not accommodate hens or bucks nights, and our current function page excludes 18th to 21st birthday parties. Share your occasion, guest numbers and catering needs with us so we can confirm suitability and availability.

I’ve tried chicken parma at three different places before and honestly never really liked it — until I had it here. This one completely changed my mind. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and really juicy inside. What impressed me most, though, was the tomato sauce. The ones I’d tried before were quite dry, and the sauce tasted more like tomato paste than an actual tomato sauce. Here, it tasted fresh and homemade, more like a proper Italian-style tomato pasta sauce, and I loved that it was served underneath the chicken. My friend, who was having dinner with me, told me this was closer to an old-school style chicken parma. I don’t know enough about chicken parma to judge that myself, but whatever the style is, this is definitely how I like it! 😄 Thank you for finally making me love chicken parma. ❤️

I love this establishment. It has been my go-to in Smith Street for a casual catch up with friends for at least 18 years. Great vibes, good local bands, good drinks including pet nats, and fun upstairs during the week if you like comedy and improv.

# Google Review for a Pub ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of visiting [Pub Name], and it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations! This pub is a perfect blend of a cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and a fantastic selection of drinks. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out with friends or a place to unwind after a long day, [Pub Name] has it all. ### Atmosphere As soon as I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. The rustic decor, complete with wooden beams and vintage memorabilia, creates a charming and relaxed environment. The lighting is just right—not too dim, but cozy enough to feel intimate. There are various seating options, from comfy booths to communal tables, making it easy to find the perfect spot for your group. ### Food Menu Now let’s talk about the food! The menu at [Pub Name] is extensive, featuring a variety of classic pub fare with a modern twist. I decided to try the *beer-battered fish and chips*, and it was absolutely divine. The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky and tender, with a crispy batter that wasn’t greasy at all. The chips were golden and seasoned just right. My friend opted for the *pulled pork sliders*, which were bursting with flavor and served with a side of homemade coleslaw. Each dish is generously portioned, making it great value for money. They also have vegetarian and gluten-free options, catering to various dietary preferences. ### Drink Selection The drink selection at [Pub Name] is impressive! They offer a wide range of local and international beers on tap, as well as an extensive wine list and creative cocktails. I tried their signature cocktail, the *Citrus Spritz*, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced. The bartenders are knowledgeable and happy to recommend drinks based on your preferences, which is a nice touch. ### Customer Service The customer service at [Pub Name] deserves a special mention. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing a great experience. Our server was quick to check in on us, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It’s clear that they value their customers and strive to create a welcoming environment. ### Entertainment and Events One of the highlights of my visit was the live music event happening that night. The pub regularly hosts local bands and trivia nights, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. It’s a great way to enjoy some entertainment while sipping on your favorite drink. The energy in the room was fantastic, and it made for a memorable evening. ### Conclusion In conclusion, I cannot recommend [Pub Name] enough! From the delicious food and extensive drink selection to the warm atmosphere and excellent service, it truly has everything you could want in a pub. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by—you won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu while enjoying another lively night out. Cheers!
