The site of one of several work Christmas parties. Pontoon bar is right by the boardwalk on Cockle Bay Wharf, and on any typical weekend, you will find young things partying and drinking ‘til the wee hours.
However, on this occasion, we had the whole bar to ourselves. A work party is usually pretty boring, and this party had no atmosphere as such. Well, I don’t think it’s Pontoon’s fault, as their BBQ is normally quite happening. On this occasion, we had an assortment of finger food, but not that much of it so we had to fight hard to get our hands on the:
- Tortilla Wrap with Smoked Chicken & Avocado, Roast Beef &
Rocket or Roast Vegetable and Pesto - bad, fell apart easily - Spring Rolls- fresh and hot
- Curry Puffs- pastry a bit too thick
- Spinach and Fetta Triangles - yummy
- Mixed Nori Rolls - anything not made by a Japanese restaurant is not a real nori roll
- Honey Mustard, Honey Soy or Spicy Chicken Drummettes - a bit dry but passable
- Sausage Rolls - was disgusting as the sauce had been polluted and it was kinda cold
Unfortunately, the free drinks were only limited to James Squire ale, which I found was at least quite nice.
They have blocked the entrances with a few chairs, but people still kept wondering into the private party. The bar itself looks like all the other bars along the harbour, and by that I mean silver and wood. The bar itself is extra long, so you won’t have much trouble getting a drinks. Not many seats though, mostly standing room with tables. I prefer something a bit more intimate and classy myself.
