The Elephant & Wheelbarrow Review

Not bad, decent pub food and a reasonable analogue of a British pub. A bit expensive but nice staff.

Great atmosphere, amazing happy hour on Friday's, very friendly staff,
but the food is nothing special to sub standard even.

Great atmosphere and yummy food. Great place to chill with a good vibe

Zero stars. Over priced, rip off, bad. 15% surcharge for service personnel on Anzac day. Smoke a turd in hell.

Great Kilkenneys, best in Melbourne without a doubt.

This is a nice little english-style Pub. Authentic, has an upstairs and downstairs decent food, able to eat outside with some air on the inside.
Good place if you want some nice English atmosphere

Lazy bar staff, more interested in nattering to each other

Quaint old pub feel, just near the theatre and great for a traditional pub meal. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Friendly staff but the parmie I got wasent up to scratch, suffice to say it put me off for a while

We just stopped for a beer so I couldn't say anything about the food, but they have a good selection of beer and the staff was very nice.

Loved the ambience. The open space just outside just added to the oomph of this place. Beer was good, did not have food to comment

One of the better pubs in Melbourne. With a good choice of beers as well as British and Australian ciders. Staff are usually quite friendly, perhaps one of the friendliest staff in a Melbourne pub. Food is quite good depending on what you buy. The ambience is fantastic. It doesn't look and feel like a hospital like many renovated pubs in Melbourne.

Absolutely fuming at the experience we received tonight! Ordered 14 meals plus drinks and only received 12! Had the duty manager, Liam come over and yell at a member of the party! Very unprofessional, disgusting customer service and people skills. NOT HAPPY at all and would not recommend coming here with a manger who runs a shift and speaks to people that way.

Great and excellent burgers. Friendly staff. Best location

Helpful staff. In door and outdoor seating available. A traditional pub environment.

Loved this place. Took the fam there and was very satisfied with our service. Friendly people and staff so an all around great atmosphere.

Would recommend for anyone looking for a pub feed

Great pub with good food and a good range of on tap beers and ciders. Always stop in when I'm out about in the city

Went with an English friend hoping to show me her favorite pint.
London pride is advertised outside the pub but the frothy rubbish they poured after they said "it had to settle for a few minutes" was very disappointing.

Bangers and mash and a good beer in a traditional style pub. You won't be dissapointed if you are after a typical pub experience.

Always enjoy the ambience, good food and great service.

Great pub, with awesome food and service. Price is great too. A good all rounder!

Great pub near Chinatown with plenty of seating and entertainment.

Good food not much entertainment Saturday night though

Great food and atmosphere. Such friendly and helpful staff

Great pub, delicious beers on tap. Good crowd and great live music on Saturday night.

A lovely old feel pub that had friendly staff, and reasonably priced food. My DIL & myself shared a plate of delicious arancini balls, (the best we've had)! And a share plate of nachos, made with homemade salsa and the regular toppings. Lovely and could easily be a share plate with 3/4. G/son, 10 had the
Angus beef burger with chips. He was very sad he could finish, "it was really great" but too large. It is in the entertainment book also.

Friendly bar staff . Not very friendly door men . I am a little fussy about music and cant stand cover bands

Many beers available but what a great place to have a pint of Guinness.

Average pub food prices slightly on the high side. Service is generally pretty reasonable. The decor is nothing special but largely inoffensive.

Meals are excellent, beer selection is good, no table service and dessert isn't the best but would definitely go back there and recommend others :-)

Matt Bradshaw was the best Thursday night entertainment we could have hoped for

We booked for a group with wheelchairs and were given a very small table with not much room to move. Zero table service, dirty water glasses, high prices and average food which took forever to come out. I feel as though they get by purely on their convenient location. Won't be going back.

Nice place for after work drinks in Melbourne CBD especially on Friday with Happy hour from 5-7 pm..

Such an awful city experience. Do not recommend. The service was average to begin with then when we asked if a phone charger was available we were abused, it became obvious that this certain staff member have personal issues when they were getting aggressive over something so small and it was very unprofessional the way we were treated as a group even tho we were well mannered and quiet and spent a lot so I will be telling everyone about this experience this staff member tried to degrade me unprovoked

The band was A+ !!!! Quite a mix in ages of patrons. From people in 50's having a blast to young 20's.

Typical English style Pub, counter meals good always a chat to be had and some form of entertainment

Service, friendly and helpful. Food ordered average, chips lovely and hot but the steak sandwich very disappointing, no point putting it on a large Turkish roll if you are not going to fill it properly, very little to no aioli, one small piece of bacon lucky it covered half the roll, a slice of cheese I think because it looked scrappy and again only covered half the roll, steak chewy

Standard British pub...traditional beer and food selections...not bad...not great.

Visited for a early dinner. Didn't enjoy the parma, felt the chicken was cheap. Others had the roast and said it was amazing. Beer selection is good and they put the footy game that we wanted on. The food was the major let down for me

Fun pub for after work drinkers...visited for pre theatre dinner...difficult getting a table but eventually got one top floor...fish and chips delicious

Great food very good size lovely staff really nice place.

If you want a great place to have a decent drink a good quality pint and snacks and be loud and boisterous. This is your 5star venue. Outdoor seating is good. They do a very selection of foods that fit the genre of fancy pub grub, and are ok. To be fair it is not misrepresenting itself, but you go for the ambience.

Used to be a regular visitor to this place many moons ago but had the worst experience there and will never go back. Is a shame but the place speaks for itself really.

This bar and restaurant has one of the biggest and tastiest meal portions available. Real value for money and awesome when going with a group of people. I recommend the Lamb Roast which melts in your mouth. The bar floor plan spans 3 levels and an outdoor area. There's a live band only on the ground floor on weekends and more restaurant style seating areas the higher you go up. Food orders are done over the bar and you will be given a buzzer to inform you when your food is ready. Makes it easy for people to pay for their own meals. There are multiple TVs that show mostly sport. Staff are very polite and its very rustic, antique and cozy bar atmosphere makes this place a definite bar destination when in Melbourne.

Great place, great vibes, good beer, superb live music!
