International Hotel - The Torington

The ol trusty international. It's my local and its a pleasant mix of young professional and older, perhaps more serious, drinkers. Still its charming. The food is good and the beer reasonably priced and its never too loud and super super busy. Can get pretty packed on trivia night, but its usually a good place to have a social drink without the mentalness of the Valley or the city.

Good. The restaurant portion of the International Hotel I've found to be a bit over priced for the food you get. The pub menu is great value however, tasty classics that time never forgot.<br/ <br/ Nice place, good atmosphere, 7/10 would go back

Total surprise. With just an hour to kill at 3.30 on tuesday afternoon my wife and i ventured into the International looking for a quick bite. There were literally only 2 other patrons at the bar. We ordered bruschetta having developed an afinity for it as a quick bite alternative and some wedges. Both were served in good time and i would give a 10/10 for presentation. The brushetta was served on a wood board with the topping in a seperate bowl. The bread was perfectly prepared and the topping a delicious blend of tomato, fetta, salad greens and balsamic. I could easily live on this..by far the best bruschetta either of us have had! Wedges were crispy and seasoned nicely... sour cream and guacamole servings were too small and i think the guac came out of a bottle but adequate in flavour. Value for money and service also 10/10.I had a pint of Belgian Gold ? beer made in house in the micro brewery on site.. Super nice and one of the best beers i've had! As a retal and restuarant designer i am always keen to check out the design of restaurants. The International is perfectly renovated .. a great blend of authentic original features and slick furniture and fittings... We will definitely be venturing back to try more of the menu.

Better than i thought. came in on a Sunday when they are doing 'pizza and beer ' deal love the pizza being baked in the wood fire, is huge to me, and don 't miss ordering the sweet potato fries
