Went here on a trip to Melbourne recently for a show and loved it have been many times before but only for a drink. Saturday the place was packed so came back sunday served by a barman who had served us before and was very informative and good at his job. Order the salt ash calamari and wedges. Nothing left...

Great beers, well trained and attentive staff, comfortable and well located for theatre goers, well balanced fixed choice menu with a wine or beer and prompt service. Yep all pretty good and with Chloe in the room next door! Great value, top spot.

I was walking past and decided for once to drop in to this icon. At 11.55am decided to order a steak sandwich in the bar. Before kitchen opened. Hence first customer of the day. I do not expect to pay $19 and receive a plate which from the moment it landed (smiling positive service) stank in a way only achievable... More

We visited as Mr PugHugger had heard about the rooftop cider bar and we are both cider fans. Granted there were LOTS of ciders on offer and a good variety on tap. We both took the time to try something different and the ciders were quite nice. But the roof top area was exceptionally average. There were smokers everywhere and... More

The agenda was obvious.It was not let my friend in because he was... More

I used to really like going here but my most recent visit was a nightmare. I was just starting a 4th drink over a 2 hour period when I was told by security I had been cut off - no reason. There had been no problem or even a hint of a problem up until then - it had been... More

A good choice for anyone looking for a decent and interesting beer in the city. About ten craft beers are served. Sadly no beer menu or descriptions but most staff will describe styles for you. Very noisy and bustling and unlike BeerDeluxe which is opposite you are actually inside
