I'm not entirely sure whether it was a proper pub or bar, or simply just a burger joint, but the atmosphere certainly suggested that it is a bar. The service was pretty good, and the burgers, yeah, the burgers were great. Oh, and considering its location, the selection of beers was not surprising, and quite good at that as well. A definite place to check out.

On my most recent visit, The B.East were hosting a very awesome New Orleans themed party, which is wah-aaaaaay up my alley. (FYI they are doing this on the first Sunday of every month). They were serving up Hurricanes and Mimosas and I was in HEAVEN (while knee-deep in a Hurricane). Their burgers are pretty sweet too but I would recommend the sliders more. They just seem to... taste better. Like finding a good parking spot, if you happen to score a seat out the front, you should never leave because it will never happen again. Sit there and bask in the glory that is the Brunswick East hipster. P.S. It is called The B-East because it's in Brunswick East.

I had been stalking their Instagram for a long time and had already partaken in one of their donuts (the incredible All Day Donuts) and last night, on a drizzly Thursday, I finally decided to stuff my face with one of their shiny burgers. It's a cute and cosy little place, with only a few tables and chairs. It is certainly not a pumping venue by any means, despite the rap music blaring and the hipster staff. We ordered the classic cheeseburger with fries and two margaritas, because why not? The margaritas are the only cocktail on the menu, with wines by Noisy Ritual and a small selection of local craft beers. The burger was perfection. Filled to the brim with pickles, drippy yellow cheese and a fresh-made patty. The bun was made in-house and had a glossy finish but was not too sweet. Served in a classic red american-style basket. If you're hunting for some of Melbourne's best burgers, Juanita Peaches should definitely be added to your list.

In fact, I find myself regularly ordering their beers whenever I find it on tap because, well, it is nothing short of amazing. Sure, the place isn't all that large, and it isn't always open, but the thing is that as I mentioned, their beers are amazing, and they have a great selection available as well. Yeah, this is definitely a place to check out, though as I mentioned, it isn't always open. Oh, and they have a great beer garden out the front as well. Yeah, I love this place.

Honestly, I generally can't handle too many hamburgers though they have some great other options, such as the loaded fries - I tend to go for the chilli ones, though the HSP, which is twice the size as the other loaded fries, is also a pretty cool option. Oh, and I should mention the excellent customer service, but that probably has something to do with us being regulars now.

Think: In and Out meets Shake Shack. There's over the top versions with truffle mayo and mac n' cheese croquettes, but I prefer to keep it simple with a single stack burger and the addition of jalapeños. What sets Royal Stacks apart from other local burger options is the service and the environment which lends itself well to family and friend groups eating together. Large table configurations as well as smaller ones for couples. A staff member welcomes you and helps you find a table and another will pop past during the meal to ask how everything is going. It's a small extra that's totally unexpected in what is otherwise a fast food-esque experience (order and pay at the counter, collect your tray when ready) but it does make everything just that little bit nicer especially when there's kidlets in your group.

I like this place, it has good music at a level you can hear yourself talk. I'm hoping this venue will be one of new venues that doesn't give in to pleasing the cheapest crowd but goes for quality.

I'll definitely be back.
