Came here to celebrate a birthday. Food was ok, drinks/cocktails were nice, the crowd was very mixed, but the live band and the DJ were great. We had fun, good music and a band n DJ that cater based on acknowledgement of the people dancing is always a win!

Excellent value for money. The $25 lunch special with an alcohol beverage. Don't be waived by the price. Its a way above average meal.

This is my favourite social area in Melbourne for meeting people, and is borderline my 3rd place at this point, so im very biased. Ive been a happy regular here for quite some time. I think its great, and you should at least check it out. Centrally located, this is a good old fashioned Aussie pub. It gives the vibe of a small town saloon that had a city grow up around it. I've only given 3 stars on the food, as I would say they serve above average pub food, but its also solid pub food, not fine dining, and I dont want to mislead you. Drinks are, as expected, great. Its a real aussie pub experience, all around. The staff are more than friendly, they have never failed to make accommodations for their patrons as long as ive been there, which is many years now. Really, I cant even review the casual experience anymore, because for their regulars, ive seen such a willingness to engage, which it feels is such a rare thing to find in a company these days. Not just a pub, for me, their core draw is that they host a variety of events, notably games each Wednesday at 6pm, alternating 'blood on the clocktower' (a social deduction), or general tabletop/board games (on the alternate fortnights), and many others. Ages vary from young or old at these events, but as a pub of course, it is fortunately child free, permitting an adult space to socialise, hang out, and generally have a good time. Especially if you are new to Melbourne, or just looking to meet someone at a bar, I would at least make a visit, and feel a bit of that still going old Melbourne charm, and seriously consider engaging with one of these events and potentially earning some lifelong friends, or a new hobby.
