War Horse Saloon - Port Vila

One of the best bar in the harbour vila. the beam has divided into 2 sections. one is the bar restaurant and the other is a playground for the visitor. guests can play pool and dart here, while enjoying beer. the bar itself brauts her own beer, I personally find the beer was quite delicious. during the whole week there were many functions, a few days of singing karaoke, a certain day there are live band invited to bar to play live music. the menu here offer variety of food and drinks, the prices are also very reasonable.

The bar has specials some days of the week. We happened to be in the area on a Wednesday afternoon and decided to stay for the wings special. Got buffalo wings and was surprised at how great they were. Well cooked and the sauce was a little spicy and very flavorful. Service a bit slow, but you can pass the time by petting the friendly kitty that hangs about in there.

Came here late in the day to make the most of happy hour. Alas, this wasn 't reflected when I paid and despite having quite a 'show down ' with staff, they refused to reduce the bill. I just left without paying the extra making quite a scene. That isn 't normally my style but I travel alot, and it annoys me when people will 'burn ' someone over a few dollars. I will not recommend this place. I will however, tell you a few things about it. I could walk from my hotel to this place, but it 's away from the main part of town. easy to find. Service was pretty good (apart from the above interaction). Note that there are two sections to this place. One is the bar and restaurant. The other is the game place for visitors where you can play billards, darts and sip on your home brewed beers. This is where alot of Aussies hung out. Being an Aussie I wanted to get away from that. I did eat here before the interaction above and found the prices not bad the usual overpriced Vanuatu to be expected. The steak was good and as it was served on a stone plate, which seems to be the way they do it here. I was salivating thinking about a good steak but alas, it was average. Cleanliness was pretty good as I said, this is a little more of an up market restaurant. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly.

I don't ever review but thought I had to for the Warhorse. Ended up ordering food and a bunch of drinks (which should have been happy hour prices as ordered during happy hour and this was confirmed with staff). However when I went to pay they wrote me up a bill with no discounts and ended up saying the bill was after happy hour had ended so we had to pay full price. This included now being charged for mixers which wasn't the case with first round paid upfront. When queried the bar staff seemed to think it was funny and said that it wasn't our fault that bar staff hadn't advised to settle up before end of happy hour but basically too bad. I'm getting a feeling that everywhere you go in Vanuatu that people are willing to rip off tourists for a few extra dollars. Otherwise food and service were fairly good besides the microwaved apple pie. If you do decide to dine here make sure you pay for drinks before the end of happy hour!

Told us happy hour was half price. We ordered 8 drinks. Then got told it wasnt half price only 10% off. Dont try and argue because the staff dont listen or care! Decided there was no way we were staying to order dinner, so went to pay for our drinks and they tried charging us full price and said its because we needed to pay before 7pm.. well NOBODY TOLD US THIS! poor communication and bad service. Vodka was disgusting too!
