  • 5/5 Warren Tate Speaker C. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 423 reviews
    Great place for an affordable and quick business lunch. $22 for Steak or Parma with a beer or house wine. G was fabulous with his prompt and friendly service. I have been wanting to take a look for some time at this bar / pub and I was not disappointed. I love the decor, the various options for seating and the size. Unfortunately I did not get to see the roof top bar. Certainly worth a visit.

    I'm so happy that this is a great pub because it's nice and close to us! We had a family dinner on a Wednesday night. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted warmly by staff. We found a really comfy booth table in the bar area to eat at. We ordered a porterhouse steak, the burger and a Parma, all were lovely quality (better than usual pub quality) meals and reasonably priced. Very friendly service. Our search for a good local is over! Edited: went back again and it was just as good. We went for a drink on the rooftop and then sat in the dining room to eat. Still great service and good quality meals.

    There is a good beer selection here. The food is good and the service is excellent. It gets busy here on Friday's so I'd recommend booking, particularly for the roof top.

    Very good steak and fish... only thing the vegan pasta lacked salt. Vegan polenta was awesome!!

  • 4/5 Dazzler M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great value for money for drinks and food, older style pub which is nice and does have great character, but could do with an update with some of the furnishings.

  • 4/5 Vivienne B. 4 years ago on Google

    The deck is quite nice, but the downstairs bar smells like a toilet

  • 4/5 Lenny B. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a weird funky smell - not sure if its just the old age of the building but the food was pretty good. Their garlic bread is pretty ace

  • 4/5 Stella Y. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 11 reviews
    We had a group of 13 people. The booking was super easy and we got a pretty big table. Went there during lunch time and lunch special are very reasonable priced. Note that there is no table service so you do need to service yourself but the food is good and comes to a house drink (beer, wine or softies).

  • 5/5 John S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great night

  • 3/5 Stuart B. 4 years ago on Google
    Not a bad place though there were too few seats and tables for NYE, I know why , but still more could have been had. the BBQ they had was ok, expected to be better for the price we payed for the event. Ended up leaving early.

  • 5/5 DORA C. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Daryl K. 4 years ago on Google
    Good old pub in Melbourne. Nice and affordable lunches. Didn't have to wait too long to get our meals as well. Service was good.

  • 3/5 Pankaj P. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite Old not well maintained

  • 5/5 Josh W. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff and such a nice little spot. A bit hidden away and not very crowded once you get up to the rooftop bar. Great priced drinks and an awesome atmosphere

  • 3/5 stephen w. 4 years ago on Google
    It's not exactly like the pic but the drinks are a lot cheaper than the crown

  • 4/5 Petes S. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place for a fast lunch. Good value.

  • 3/5 Anthony Di R. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a typical pub in the city. Its good for a casual bite to eat and a couple of drinks after work.

  • 2/5 TK 4 years ago on Google
    Ok beer but nothing special. Bought a bowl of chips ($9), which weren't particularly hot & the serving was tiny. Pretty poor overall

  • 5/5 Nicolas H. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice pub, good rooftop and great location

  • 5/5 Jaya K. 6 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to relax and have a pint of beer. They have a good collection of bottled and tap beers. When asked for a strong beer the bartender suggested IPA and it was a good suggestion. Really liked the place and the beer they served. Definitely worth going here if you are a group and want to enjoy your time!..
