Overview of Lock 'n' Load Bistro

From food to fashion and community appeal, West End has always done things a little differently. West End is home to a culturally diverse population and the Kurilpa Peninsula creates a melting pot of bohemian style second to none in our wonderful city.

Lock‘n’Load strives to embellish this eclectic culture and create a neighbourhood eatery for our locals and visitors alike. Step through the front doors and into a bustling atmosphere, sit in our dining room and remember yesteryear, or traverse to our courtyard and get lost in the ambience of our tranquil garden.

We aim to offer you and your friends an occasion to remember. Our menus are sourced using fresh seasonal produce and our boutique range of drinks will have you fall off your seat!

    The main menu isnt extensive, but what is available comes out as great food. The back area is a wonderful place for dinner, although the lighting could be a bit brighter. The staff are friendly and helpful, although at times it was very difficult to either find them or get their attention when we wanted something. Still a great place to eat and will definitely be back!

    We went for Sunday breakfast and were very disappointed. My haloumi cheese was rock hard, yet cold, as was the rest of the food. They also forgot our avocado salsa. The venue had a pretty good set up, especially with the outdoor area, but the food was super disappointing.

    Food nice but seriously tiny portions, for $30 or so for a main at a pub I expect a full plate.

    My boyfriend had been there on a saturday night after a few drinks and raved to me about how good it was, so he took me on a Wednesday, bad decision! I would only recommend this restaurant on a weekend. We had to wait ages for our meals even though it wasn't a full house, they were short staffed and quite rude when we asked them about it. When the meals came out they were lukewarm and the meat overcooked. Really average tasting meal for the price. Really disappointing.

    The back garden is a nice place for lunch. Frappe was excellent, as were the collection of tapas-style dishes. Haven't yet had a main meal but I would be keen to return and try in the evening.
