About

The Gecko Bar is a classic local spot famous for its incredible harbour views and laid-back pub vibe. It is a favorite for watching sports and enjoying live music. While many love the pizza and casual atmosphere, others have complained about cleanliness and inconsistent service. It is a spot-on choice for a casual beer and a bite, but don't expect fine dining.
