Lovely place to sit and have drinks but don't order the food. Disgrace!
Food we ordered was not what came to our table. When it was returned it came back to our table not much improved from what we sent back. How hard is it to make Nachos?

Armature hour. Don’t come here. They don’t even serve cocktails with straws because they’re “green”. Will never come here again.

Wait staff rude, absolutely no acknowledgement after we thanked him, multiple times.

Very good tab and sports bar. The screens at each table are excellent. Pity about the wasted space for the wretched pokies otherwise good.

Last time I visited for lunch was one month ago and I had a fantastic steak, this time around my medium was well done with some charcoal attached. Hit & miss I guess, although the staff are always lovely and polite.

Bit pricey for what I ate. Ordered a Thai beef salad. When it came out all it was. Was a pile of coleslaw with strips of beef with a few spices on it. Not good, as have eaten the real thing before. Apart from that nice venue.

The place is really has a cool ambience. Being close to southern cross station it's quite easy to have few drinks with mates and get a train. They do serve decent cocktails and for some reason I liked the old fashioned they serve.

Excellent service, tasty meals with a good range of pub favourites and cold drinks.
Booking can be made.

There on a reunion with past workmates. As we were in a separate area from others, it was quite enough to talk. Service good, meals tops but a bit pricey although good seeing as in separate area.

Great little find this place. Was getting ready to head out to Flemington and then with the rain we decided to watch the first few races here. Great screens excellent service and good snack food. Even a charging station for mobiles.

Great location for a pre-game drink, friendly bar crew with a massive variety of drinks, they do a great cocktail too.

Live band/singer on Friday nights are great and atmosphere is awesome when the place is pumping.

Food looked good, though I tend to only pop in for drinks pre/post games at Marvel Stadium.

Pokies are the only eye sore here, could do without it.

Excellent place to meet people out of town, as directly across from southern cross station, buses and trams. Great menu and skilled bar staff. Have eaten there a 1/2 dozen times over last 4 years and always impressed with atmosphere, food and hospitality.food all day, good ambiance, we always stay a long time

Nice place and reasonably priced considering its in the CBD and right next to Train station, intercity buses, etc.
Watch out for some pokie maniacs, not that they trouble you, but 5heir losses and disappointment could spill over

Nice place to sit and have a chat with friends. Place is not well known for food. Had fish & chips for dinner. Blandest fish & chips ever. Staff were friendly & prompt.

Close to work and Southern x station. Spacious, good pub fare, well priced and really friendly staff. In fact I've been coming here on and off since it's opening and I've never had a bad experience. Looking forward to my next dinner.

Maybe it was the luck of the draw but waited a long time for service when there was only a handful of people at the bar, and then to have to wait longer because the beer tap was not quite working.

Stopped here with a friend for a few drinks one night. Overally the place did not feel clean. But it is to be expected when drinks are spilt everywhere which is typical for a pub. The bar tender actually spilt one of mine a little. There is a big gaming area if you like to gamble. Equiped with alright toliets.
