Great old fashioned pub. Great atmoshphere. Good location. Had a great night there with friends. Food was awesome. Great spot to watch sports. Only downside was the quality of the mundine and horn fight. Will definitely return next time i am in melbourne.
Very nice eye fillet cooked to perfection. Lovely Greek salad that was magically low-FODMAP upon request. Chips were weirdly big but nice. Loved the late 90s live music (guy with a guitar). Nice way to spend an evening between Harry Potter theatre sessions on a Sunday.
It's ok.. I wouldn't take someone I was trying to impress there.
It is what it is.. an old pub. The beers are beers, the food underwhelming. I went there with a couple of family friends for a quick feed and some drinks. I ordered a beef burger with the lowest expectations. Meat was over cooked and dry, chips were under cooked and over salted.
This place is meh, that's all I can really say. I wont go back, plenty of better places in the city.
A wannabe English tavern,
If you can't pour a Guinness then you can't put yourself into the classification of an English Tavern.
It's poorly lite, terrible customer service and over priced food.
Looking forward to my first roast in a while and it was luke warm with stone cold vegetables. Disappointing
Good old English pint of beer hard to find in Australia
Had a nice meal here recently and washed it down with my favorite beer straight from the tap. Staff were pretty friendly
Nice pub. Usually good beer but was a bit flat on this occasion
Dinner was delicious, decore and atmosphere all good.
English beer by the pint! But chilled... Good pub food menu and lively atmosphere.
Every time I go to Melbourne I stop in for there steak sangas
Make sure you are cashed up. Drinks are above average in price
Pretty standard inner city pub. Great selection of beers, but lacking somewhat in atmosphere.
Weekend back in Melbourne, had lunch here. Lovely old pub atmosphere, lots seats/tables inside and outside. Good location. Staff friendly. Ordered fish and chips, had to return our meals as only just warm. Were served fresh hotter meals, fish was delicious however the chips not so. Wine expensive. If in area, would probably pay a return visit but not for food.
Nice old pub, with good atmosphere. Reasonable quality of meals at fair price. Average selection of beers.
nice meal staff friendly ..maybe clear the tables more often
Lots of backpackers upstairs chilled out pub downstairs.
Service for drinks a bit slow but very busy. Nice pub. Great atmosphere.
Couldn't organize a screwdriver in a hardware store the lot of them. Such a well-known name in Melbourne such a massive disappointment. Won't be coming back.
Great location close to theatre district; ideal for pre theatre meals.
Can be somewhat noisy at lunchtime.
Competitive prices for food & drinks.
Fabulous post theatre meal, with.a great atmosphere
Will be back
For a night out this is your venue, great cover bands and averaged priced drinks however if you were after a venue for dinner I would venture past the Elephant and Wheelbarrow.
Good selection of drinks, plenty of space spread across several floors. Good spot for a quick one before leaving the CBD.
Swift, friendly service and a delicious lamb ragu with spaghetti. Hands down favourite after a long day. The gin may have helped
Returned to this pub after 3 years and found it to be absolutely lousy! Almost no table service, had to lay our own table, order food from the bar counter, collect it ourselves, and the food was extremely average! Must say, shame to see this lovely pub fall to bits. McDonald's would have been a better option were it not for the selection of beers....
Very aggressive security with no people skills. Overcooked food and overpriced drinks and too loud to hold a conversation. Do not recommend.
Place smells like lingering flatulence. Bad, rowdy live acoustic music on the ground floor forces you up a level. Space up here is cramped and even more stuffy. Another level reveals an attempt to draw in a younger? upper middle bogan crowd.. It's like another planet compared w the other levels with its stark white, overly bright lighting. Just awful. Wall photography where we were sitting on level 2 was photos The Beatles would have destroyed if they knew existed as they were clearly rejects. Staff were nice. Food was below average and way too salty.
Really nice homecooked food. Location good & live music Friday & Saturday nights
Pretty standard fare for a British themed pub in a city outside Britain. While you probably won't be disappointed, it's unlikely to become your new all-time favourite place. They've a reasonable selection of beer, and the food is pretty good.
Very good pub food.
Fairly good value for money. Bar tenders can sometimes be a bit clueless.
Really nice old world pub ! The food and service is good
Great Pub, Wonderful Atmosphere. Food and Guineas wonderful
Menu caters for everypne
Would recommend
Chilled venue. Pub food. Plenty of beer and ciders tap. Friendly staff. Totally worth a visit.
Five stars because they serve London Pride. Nice staff and a decent older vibe.
Had a most disgusting tasteless food ever in my life. Totally rude managers and filthy dirty Venue. I can see the cockroaches running around and have no idea why the place is not been shut down by council yet. Lucky that there was no cockroaches in my food nevertheless the roast was overcooked to a point where it's good for bin, the Yorkshire pipudding was a joke. The gravy was full of powder and have no taste at all. The floor staff takes no interest in their work and customer service is something not to expect from this place. For the amount they charge for their food it's better to dine at McDonald's at least you will get a clean place to sit. Totally waste of time and money. Never be back again.
A good (faux) traditional pub. Good, solid plain food & cold beer.
Always has a strange smell to it. Place is jumping when there's a band on upstairs, but is a bit dark and depressing for mine when there's not.
Really great ambience. Has a really nice British pub feel.
Had the chicken Caesar salad...came up out and 2 of the tenderloins were raw.
Great Atmosphere to have party up stairs function room with delicious food by head Chef Sam
Good basic pub with a good vibe, as with the whole of Australia drinks and food can be expensive compared to the UK and a surcharge is added to all purchases for opening on public holidays but it's nice to sit, have a drink and watch the world go by.
Classic bar with classic atmosphere. Good for young and old drinkers and pub enthusiasts.
Nice old school style pub, with some flair! Great drink and meal options
Typical pub. It has live music, food and beer on tap.
Would have gotten 5 stars but the upstairs bar wasn't open even though the pub was busy.
This place was a welcome respite from the hustle of the CBD. Delicious food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere.
Very friendly staff, cold and fresh tap beer that is exactly I needed for the Tuesday afternoon. Plenty of outdoor sitting area. Great place will come again for sure!
Really nice pub! Good meal. Lovely setting and friendly staff. A bit disappointed their 'clean' bread and butter dishes weren't clean, but the rest was very good.
Terrific pub, had a lovely prawn and boiled egg baguette for only $10. Typical English pub type decor and a range of comfort food available for reasonable prices. Would recommend for a casual meal. Also has a disabled toilet on the ground floor.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and lots of choice in beers, food is good but has gone down hill a little bit from a couple of years ago. A good night out
Friendly service on a weekday afternoon! Great way to lead into the long weekend!
Great location, and possibly a great selection of beer too, only thing they lack is the vibe that puts them in the okay category.
What a dive..
No service at all.
Made my elderly parents carry their plates of food upstairs.. who doesnt have have table service in 2017..
Stalls we sat in were filthy and dated back to the 70s.
Was so loud that with drunks that we couldnt even hear ourselves talk..
Girls woudlnt take orders upstairs insisted we go downstairs then dosnstairs said go back up..
Fix this dingy old pub up and earn that respect back
Their food was excellent. I just enjoy a nice comfortable place to hang out that isn't a tourist trap.
Brilliant 2 storey bar, they let anyone in.
a must stop in, 5m off the tram stop.
Good atmosphere, I like their Angus beef burger , the beef is juicy. They have big screen for you sports fans.
Has an old fashioned pub feel to it. If that is what you're looking for. A reasonable amount of different beers on tap ranging from your standards to Guinness and some names I haven't heard of before.
