The Elephant & Wheelbarrow Reviews

Lively pub showing mega sports. Good selection of pub food and drinks.

Came here for an early dinner on a Sunday and didn't have any problems finding a table. As another reviewer had said the tables are pretty close together on the ground floor so it's a fair bit cosy.

I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce, mash potato and peas. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of peas but the size of the schnitzel was decent size, well cooked and tasty. My wife had the tart that she described as ok but not great.

Overall we had a decent experience.

Nachos are definitely a 2-person affair, great old vibe to the place

Nice meal and very quick service even for a Friday lunchtime.

No ANZAC Special at this dive.

Possibly the worst 'pub' Angus Burger I've ever purchased. Dry, dark, cold.
Told counter staff. "Err... Ok. I'll tell the cook'. Pathetic.

Not recommended.

Magic English type pub, with imported English beers, get there before 9.0pm
for food.

Pretty good pub, fast service & ice cold beer. Really clean amenities too!

The food and service was beyond excellent, however nobody can tell me how I woke up in dumpster with my pants missing

Cool place. Real nice atmosphere. Staff are a good bunch of people!

Doesn't give that authentic feel I think they try to create but still a nice pub. Had the classic roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, very poor, basic pudding to make and should have nailed it. Sorry definitely not recommend.

Really like this place!! Very nice food and drinks!! Some odd food and drink options which is great!

I went there with a party of friends for a birthday get together at their advertised Over 28's "Wham Glam" retro night.

Staff.
Friendly and helpful.

Pub.
A great looking pub with a fantastic layout. exactly like a Traditional British pub.

Event Venue at rear.
Again, a great looking pub with a fantastic layout. a decent sized dance floor, and ample seating for relaxed moments.

Food.
The bar menu is great. Tasty food at a sensible price.

Drinks.
A great choice and respectable prices.

So Overall, for a Pub, it certainly ticks all the boxes so why did I only offer 2 stars?

The Pub, and the function room stank... it was bad, and I can only describe it as a mixture of stale vomit and a disinfected peep show booth. Which, when you are ordering a meal before an evening of dancing, is really off putting!

The advertised over 28's Glam night... I think they need to get a new DJ, With all the latest unknown dance anthems, a glam night this most definitely wasn't, although their resident band done a great job, pity they didn't stay on stage while the DJ was sacked!

What a total let down to the point of leaving less than 1 and 3/4 hours after arriving. to go to a known venue that ticked all the same boxes and more. (Bar94 in Swan Street, Richmond).

If you really are not fussed, then the place has potential for an average night out, but if you want a great memory, I'd steer well clear of this place.

Sizable venue in the heart of the city. Pleasant staff, tasty menu, and competitive prices. Plenty of public transport options. Alternatively there's paid parking available nearby. The pub is generally busy, and can be popular with groups. A good meeting spot but if you're looking for quiet and intimate then this may not be the ideal option.

A very interesting place, great food and reasonable prices. Would recommend.

The new office romance that unfolded in front of us as we consumed our beverages was quite the topic of conversation

Really good service, quick, clean and nice environment. We enjoyed our food and our drinks.

Try the wedges, totally recommend. Fun and tonic was not cheap but was very good. The staff are friendly and the toilets are clean.

All round a good night

I came here for a MICF show, the show was good and the pub itself is okay. It's one of only a few traditional English pubs in the city, but it's a bit more of a townie English pub than a particularly nice one. All the usual English / Irish subjects are here in terms of beer (in an English pub in Australia)... Otherwise, nothing particularly interesting beer wise which is a bit of a shame.

Helpful staff, nice selection of typical pub food. Good atmosphere for this type of place. I'll be back...

Nice enough place for a few beers. Wasnt so keen on the food.

We were having a nice night however after about 3/4 drinks we got told my partner was to intoxicated and was asked to leave, we were given no explanation as to why they had come to this conclusion and we were on and table just myself and him talking between ourselves. It was very rude and abrupt so will not be returning, it compleatly ruined the night and the mood. The manager at the bar was extremely rude and used very foul language towards other customers

Nice beer and decent bangers and mash - a bit expensive for what it offers

Good service and happy hour drinks. Never tried the food to be honest, but they look yum.

Terrible terrible experience. Ordered our food at 6:20pm and by 7pm still no food, when we went to complain they had "lost" our order. We had a show to go to at 7:30pm, so couldn't even wait for our food to be cooked as they said it would take 20mins!. Ended up having to go to a 2 hour show with no dinner. Pathetic!!!!

Love this place - walk in at 10pm with work colleagues and the vibe was fun and happy - also had great live music.

Great burgers, good ambience. The delay can be a bad during peak hours.

They serve Guinness on tap. That's pretty much all it has going for it, but what else do you need?

Decent selection of beers but Lunch took a while to be served

Great place to hide out for a beer on a hot or cold day.

Solid venue for drinks and food. The fish tacos was pretty tasty

Standard english style pub....good drink specials and live music sometimes

Good food, good location and not too noisy when we were there. Also had an interesting selection of beers.

Tasty roast pork and veg, good price, staff friendly

Very busy so hard to find a seat. Service was great. Good range of beer. Food was good first time I went there but for second visit the food was really poor. I like the place so I may try one more time.

Beautiful decor and good crowd. Live band plays on Fridays late night

Great food!

Great Atmosphere!

Great friends!

Wouldve been 5 If they had a pineapple option for pizza and parmas

Nice pub. Busy but really good service. Had a nice meal with a glass of red. Close to tram and train station too

Yeah look, it's OK. Bit pricey for a place without table service.

Wonderful chardy outside talking to travellers from Canada. Perfect end to a week.

Good pub... shame about the constant alarms going off from these food court devices. Just get waiting staff. Ruins the atmosphere.

Pretty typical bar serving tap beers and some live music.

Wasn't impressed too busy and food offering only so so. Guinness was good but with surcharges was actually quite expensive, it's a pub but better food and drink all around.

Lovely afternoon. Food was great except for the hunk of lamb in mint mash... tough as old shoes.

Great English venue with good beer selection and friendly staff!

The go to place for having a drink and something to eat before or after theatre it's good to sit outside and people watch

Good food and good value. Plenty of seating usually available and friendly staff.

Good typical pub atmosphere. Menu on website needed updating to match changes in house.

Lovely pub with generous kind people working there!

Good placw for a catch up and a drink. Meals aren't too bad...

Music is ok but a bit loud. Tvs showing sports. Nothing special except the choice of beers on tap which is pretty ace

Ordinary service and drinks, sometimes the bar staff just stand around talking while people are waiting.

Proper pub atmosphere, friendly service, lots of sports on TV
