I was with a group of friends who had just finished a meal in Fremantle and thought we would have a quick drink before heading home. We were with a friend who couldn’t walk far due to a recent operation so stopped at the Ball and Chain which was the closest to the restaurant we had just come from. We were in good spirits until our group were refused entry and told the bar was closed despite other patrons being served and the website stating otherwise. No reason was given. Had the security guard bothered to have a conversation with us he would have been able to discern that we were just happily bantering with each other and in no way intoxicated. Very poor form Ball and Chain. Won’t be back. Service: 1

A group of us went to get a drink at 1030pm on Saturday night. The security person inside told me that the pub was closing and refused to serve our group. Their website states they are open to midnight and they were serving other patrons inside. No reason as to why we were refused service. Disappointing to be treated in this manner. Service: 1

Probably the best bar location in Fremantle.Great, as a meeting place & for people watching - IF the bloody place is open! A BIG IF. Any published times on The Esplanade Hotel website are there to show ... well, uselessness. It's a bar that should, for the sake of not being buggered, be sold out of the Rydge's big-place empire. And, please don't hit us with the "COVID staff shortage" manure. It's a one - two staffing requirement. OPEN THE BALL & CHAIN.
