Highly recommend the Ploughman's Plate and a pint of Guinness to wash it down. Amazing staff with the best customer service.

Hi wine is so expensive in this pub How can you justify charging 14 d0llars for a thimble of house wine a rip off big time

I have not been to this Irish Pub for years. A great place to pop in for a beer and a quick bite if lunch. The service was very friendly and there was a mix of traditional pub fair and Irish classics. It was surprisingly quiet yet can imagine there would be an amazing atmosphere when it’s busy. The food was good but the beer was better.

Attended on a Wednesday night with the family. Enjoyed the live music and great atmosphere. Have been to PJ O'Brien for many years and is still a favourite.

PJs is a great traditional Irish pub easily accessible from Southbank or the city of Melbourne. Their food is well portioned and tasty and the pub food is available late into the night to accompany your Guinness with some wedges. They have a wide range of drinks, but you’re not there for that. It’s a great place to meet friendly new people in a relaxed atmosphere and acting like the Irish do singing along to the traditional songs from their live music!

Dropped in for a pint of Guinness on Sunday afternoon before point to the football. Sport on tv, live music, friendly service and cold beer. Perfect!

Love this place, a little hard to find, but once you found this little gem you will love every second of your experience. Great prices, great food and just a lovely vibe

I actually wrote a bad review cause I couldn't find the main door of the restaurant and thought it is closed without notice. Just received a call from their team member which explained the story. Please consider this 5 star for their follow up and customer care. I haven't tried their food yet. It will be next time:)

Had a function there Saturday 1/5 for a celebration of life - Rebecca/Kate and Catherine were all amazing and made the process so easy. The bar staff were also fantastic, lots of food and plenty of drinks flowing. Thank you again for making our time very special.

Good "traditional pub" style. Food was delicious, great pub selections. Staff were attentive and personal.

Visited on a Friday night. Plenty of room to sit and eat with a nice, rowdy atmosphere. Food came quickly, was cheap (for Southbank), tasty, and a large portion size. Plenty of drinks to choose from. Would recommend!

We went here just to check if they will allow us to get in as it's St. Patricks day and their website shows they are fully booked. They allowed us to get in! It was the best day ever! Everyone's friendly and the vibe was so great. Guests were from the young adults to seniors but everyone's equally happy. I love how everyone was singing and dancing together even some of is don't even know the song.

Anyone who thinks that Irish pubs not in Ireland are a rather ridiculous pale imitation of the real thing have never visited PJ O’Brien’s. The food is outstanding and the service is warm, genuine and enough to make you ache for the Emerald Isle. It’s not easy to find but don’t give up.

It was an alright place.

We ordered a side of chips that never arrived and were repeatedly told it was coming over the course of almost 2 hours. It never arrived, we just asked for our money back when we left.

Wouldn't go back a second time.
