My wife and I visited this rather splendid Aussie-themed establishment pre-Covid. We were quite squiffy after a few drinks; my wife began grinding on me. Fantastic time indeed!

Great service and amazing cheese curds!! Nice, low-key spot to watch the Packers. Will absolutely be coming back!

Server was great but the bald manager was horrible. Very disrespectful will never return. Ive served at multiple restaurants and never seen a manager act this way, straight up embarrassing for everyone involved. Bald manager needs weekly training to learn how to communicate with customers.

Entered near eleven, it wasnt packed. Ive had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. It has a nice interior. Food and atmosphere reminds me of Kansas City.

Really quiet during the week. Weekends it can get so packed you worry you might have gotten pregnant on the dance floor. If you have issues with personal space, its not for you. If youre out for fun, enjoy!

Bondi is great for dancing. Otherwise the drinks are cheap but will definitely give you a hangover. It doesnt start getting busy until after 10pm. Mostly targeted towards college students. Even during the winter there will be a long line of people out the door late at night. If youre not looking to get laid or show off your dance moves, it looks like a lot of work. Best left to the young folks.

Came in from the 98° heat for drink and food. Six waitresses at bar and manager walking around. Only 5 customers seated through out entire bar. Girls kept talking about boyfriends etc. No service for 10 minutes. I was sitting 10 foot from them. No way to miss me. Took my drink order and took another 5 minutes to even give to bar tender just leaning against wall. Had to go up to bar for my own water.

My family went here for lunch, we sat on the patio and had a delightful time. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating to our family with small children! I have a gluten allergy and ordered a burger with a gf bun. It was amazing! In fact everyone in my family got cheese burgers and even our kids ate them (a miracle in itself!) the fries were great too!They had a delicious drink menu and my husband enjoyed his beer!

The staff is amazing, the bartenders and both quick, and accurate with drink orders! Not over priced like other bars near its vicinity such as rec room or yeti. The staff is beyond friendly, and so, so helpful! Thank you for creating such a welcoming atmosphere!

Lots of fun. Totally a college bar, but the music was great and the drink specials were good!

This place did not serve my niece because she had a tattoo on her hand. She is the most wonderful, kind and happy person. The tattoo is non offensive and is beautiful like she is. If you visit please let this establishment know that this type of treatment is unacceptable. Thank you

Inconsistencies with who is allowed in, then letting patrons in and immediately telling them to leave with no reasons given. 10 bouncers assaulting 2 customers while they were waiting to speak to manager to find out what was going on. Peacefully waiting for the manager where they were told to move to. These customers are members of the chamber of commerce and BBB. Bondi, you need to have a serious staff meeting.

This place is in Old Town Square, right next to the stage. We walked past it many times, thinking it was just a hangout for college kids, which I guess it is sort of, but it also happens to have great food. One night we went to the Thursday night concert in the square and wandered into Bondi Beach Bar for some food. The food turned out to be very, very good. Weve since been back numerous times and it has consistently served top notch food. Bondi Beach (pronounced Bond-eye Beach) is a famous beach in Australia, hence the surfboard tables in the Bondi Beach Bar and Grill. If you ever wanted to eat a meal on a surfboard, this is the place to go. For people who dont want to eat on a surfboard, they have regular tables too.

This is probably my favorite bar/club in Fort Collins. The staff is great, good nightly drink specials, and good music. Definitely recommend!

Review №20

Your bouncers need to learn how to control a situation. Bunch of guys who can seriously harm someone because they arent capable to communicate with their patrons. No drink special can bring terrible customer service and assault to an acceptable means.

Unfortunately I was immediately denied entry and was refused service at Bondi Beach Fort Collins due to the color of my skin. Private business owners reserve their right to refuse service at their own discretion AS LONG AS IT IS NOT BASED ON RACE, COLOR, GENDER, RELIGION, or SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

The music is good on the weekends. It is one of the only good places in town to go dancing. I always end up with a drink spilled all over me by the end of the night though.

The drink selection is pretty good, but not over the top. They do more mixes than beer. The bar food is really good though. The ranch dressing is one of the only ranches my boyfriend will eat.

My card accidentally got over charged (they must of hit the wrong button when typing in the tip) and the owner of the bar contacted me very fast after writting my concern and fixed the problem right away! He was very sweet, quick and professional about the situation. At first I was a little upset because it was a 45 dollar difference of what it should have been, again easy mistake to hit an extra zero, but after talking to him I will be returning. Thank you for your great customer service. I cant wait to go back.

If you like drinking to get drunk and dancing, the Bondi is for you. Definitely one of those bars where you have to be drunk to enjoy. I was sober as the DD and couldnt hear my party over the dance music. Also the cleanliness was sub-par...everything, every surface was sticky.The bouncers seemed to be doing a really good job.

Racist bouncer said I punched a bouncer a month ago all because this MF to dumb to tell 2 people of Oriental decent apart or he just doesnt like me cuz Im yellow 2nd time this exact same dude made up some straight BS just so he could not let me in. Screw that dude he can suck a fart out his mommas ass hole.Also the drinks are trash...

Review №46

The best thing about this place is the location. Its right on the square. When there are things going on downtown and there is a Beer Garden in the Square, the beer is normally cheaper and drinks are available at this bar. It does seem like a bit of a college dive but the prices are reasonable.

Sticky, dark, cramped, loud and expensive for the lack of service. If you like Rec room it might be just your vibe!

Review №48

I bit too crowded for my taste. It is definitely a college bar with load music and some dancing. If you are looking for decent tasting, cheap drinks, then this is the place to go. Overall, not a terrible place for a good time.

Got kicked out for bringing in a flask (rightfully so)Good security. However, they should walk you to the exit not put their hands on your neck and drag you all the way out like you’re a puppy.

Pretty cool place with a good vibe and good music. However, people of Ft Collins seem to not socialize much with people outside of their cliques. The guys dont really approach women I guess.

Great place of youre looking to dance and drink. The dance platform is small, so expect to dance on the open floor. Drinks are moderately priced and Discover is accepted as a card payment method (most bars dont).

Bartenders are nice to you when you come back the morning after, looking for everything you lost the night before.

Review №55

They had a decent dance floor that was sticky. The bartenders either dont know their drink prices or lie then charge you more. The mens bathroom door is also prompted open so that anyone thats outside the building can see you using the urinal through the exit door easily.

Review №56

Okay during the day, food was decent and turns into a very busy college aged bar/ dance place at night. House music was lively but not particularly interesting. Drinks were cheap but you get what you pay for, so buyer beware....sweet drinks + cheap liquor is nearly always a bad combination. One employee came over and took away a drink from our table and kept walking after told him we werent finished, and still had the last quarter of drink in the cup....classy! Overall an uninspired college bar where youre likely to wait to use the restroom behind the kids already puking in the stall. Ick.

Ive been here around a dozen times over the later part of the summer and fall and have really enjoyed it on every occasion. The staff has been great, I really like their burgers and fish tacos, though I will say that the fish tacos get kind of messy. A friend of mine loved the salmon BLT, I didnt but Im also not *REALLY* a fish guy. Ive only been in the afternoon though, so I cant comment on what its like at night when its busy with the serious drinking crowd.

I waited in line Thursday April 6th (from 10:40p.m. to 11:30)for approximately 40 minutes just to be refused entrance by some bouncer (he had a beard) because I told him I dont drink alcohol, he said only people that drink were allowed because it would hurt their sales! I was going to buy soda and tip the bartenders generously, I wasnt planning on hanging out for free, I am so upset over this... Wow, all because I dont drink alcohol? Been sober for two years now, and I have to drink to be allowed in? What are designated drivers supposed to do? Just wait outside? That kind of promotes drinking and driving in a way, but, I guess its all about money for this place! Thats messed up! I was warmly welcomed and greeted at: Tonys, Drunken Monkey and Rec Room following this upsetting experience, I even told me about what had happened and they were just as shocked and appalled as I was and thought that was absurd just as I did! I just wanted to go out and have fun and celebrate my two year mark of sobriety (this month marks two years since I last had a drink), but, ya... I suppose this is how they run their business, good for them.

Can be fun, drinks are reasonably priced. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and the stalls dont lock, so dont be surprised if someone walks in on you. The lines are also pretty bad sometimes but thats not really their fault. If youve gotta pick between rec room, yeti or Bondi, go with Bondi. Theyre cheaper and more fun than the other two.

Cheap drinks and great atmosphere! Had an incident recently where an older man was groping and slapping girls on the ass. Some of my friends were subjected to that but bondi was quick to spread the word, take action and kick him out which I respect so much. This is a bar who cares! Recommend to everyone

Review №67

Bondi has the best location in Old Town Square! They have a casual atmosphere, offer a great beer and booze selection and their burgers and beach tacos are yummy! This is the best spot to hang out at in the summer to be close to the stage and the fountain feature in the square. If you party late night, Bondi has the best sound system, lights and djs for dancing all night long!

Review №78

This bar is a waste of time. The staff is terribly rude and the bouncer (short, bald and suffering with a serious case of small mans complex) was awful to my entire party (as if he had dreams of becoming a police officer but clearly fell short as he landed his bouncer gig). If you want to go out and have a fun, laid back night...walk straight past Bondi Beach Bar and Grill, this is the last place you want to be.

Horrible bar. Place was filled with frat chads.Washington Apple shots tasted like cough syrup. Was told to leave by two bouncers bc the manager, who wouldnt show their face or have the balls to talk to me, said I was too drunk to be there.FYI. I had two drinks and did absolutely nothing to show any sign of being drunk.I am not some dumb kid, 33 year old man. I would never set foot in this place again or give them a dime for a terrible drink and experience.

I am never going back. A bartender yelled at one of my girlfriends calling her a b*. I asked what the problem was, then a bouncer grabbed me and physically pushed me out calling me the C word (Im all but 110lbs; theres not much of a fight between me and a guy double my size!). My boyfriend saw this and asked what the problem was, then the same male bouncer ripped his shirt and threw him out too. We talked to a manager, but I dont know if anything was solved. Under no conditions should a costumer be called such names or be physically touched. I refuse to be treated that way or called the names I was called. I am never going back.
