Are you being dragged to a movie you know isn't going to be any good without at least a couple of drinks in you? This is your place. It's just across from the cinemas, so it's got a pretty decent location. The bar staff are pretty friendly, and you rarely have to wait long to get a drink. There is plenty of seating to sit down and have a quiet one with a few mates. There's plenty of pokies too, if that's your thing. I won $20 a few weeks ago there. The décor is pretty normal suburban pub style. In a nutshell, it's pretty relaxed, comfortable, convenient if you're going to the cinema, and most importantly, the beer is cold.

Having only been in here after midnight when it's pretty empty, and having only ever ordered tea, I…read moredon't have much to say on the place for normal daytime people. At that sort of time, it's quite surreal. The bar looks and feels as if it's open at 5pm on a Wednesday afternoon, yet it's getting to the wee hours. Very strange. I would have described it as a sports bar. Perhaps this is because I've never actually been in one, so seeing a large number of men all camped inside watching the soccer at 1am on a Monday morning is a pretty good indicator to me. It gets definite props for being open at said time. I like to run away from my house and go on late night adventures, and unfortunately my only option for food/drink at that time of night is McDonalds. Nice to know there is somewhere I can go for a quiet sit down chat and a cup of tea/cider if I'm awake. I don't think the staff are especially cluey (but then again, I'm spoilt by city bars). The decor reminds me of an airport waiting lounge and there's a huge emphasis on the gambling. It's still a nice place to pop in to, though, and to forget the world outside for a little while.

The service is excellent. The waiting staff are polite, informative and do everything they can to make your experience pleasant. The food is beautiful. I normally grab either a chicken schnitzel or the roast of the day, and they are always really well presented and taste wonderful. A bit on the expensive side (with mains starting at $23.50), but it's a great place to go with family for special occasions. Make sure you book in advance. You can now book through their website, too.

Everyone is so friendly, and because a lot of the people who come here are members of the RSL, you see the same familiar faces time and time again so it feels like a tight-knit little community all on its own. As a member, you get really good discounts on drinks at the bar plus other special offers in the restaurant like a free meal in the restaurant on your birthday. There's also a coffee/tea/hot chocolate machine and a biscuit jar that you can help yourself to for free. This is right next to the pokies machines so it must be to help keep everyone's sugar levels up whilst they're gambling their savings away. Apparently they put on quite a New Year's Eve event here as well. Good times. I just think this place is cool for taking care of my folks and making them happy.

This bar is called the Risk Bar. Ironically taking a step into this luxurious bar takes a dark turn…read moreonce you step through the first set of doors. As the name implies, the risk bar includes many dangerous obstacles before being able to take a sip of diluted ethanol. I know I am the only reviewer thus far that has passed the trials. It consists of 3 rooms that require parkour over snakes, tigers and spiders, all of which could end your life if you decide to take the risk. I would give the The Risk Bar a 5/5 if the marketing wasn't so misleading. Say it how it is, it's a SAW inspired theme park. Once I passed all the trials I was greeted to a windowless room, and a piss weak cider that would make a 12 year old child say "this isn't a beer" my experience with the Risk Bar was very risky, so if you're looking for a risk or you are suicidal. I suggest taking a plunge into the depths of the RISK BAR

Open only on Thursday and Friday, this venue hosts live musicians starting at 7:30. It's the best way to relax, ease your pace and just enjoy the atmosphere. For bites, we tried the fruit and nut and their special pizza. Toppings were falling off but it was oh-so-good. Pear, walnut, arugula, and balsamic glaze with a garlic base, every single flavor stood out. The bar manager, Josh, is great. We went to one of their free tours (6:30 on Thursdays) and it was filled with loads of information. It was tale-telling and process-learning amongst fellow beer appreciators, and home brewers. Once you are done, the bartenders are more than helpful in making sure you get a beverage that you will enjoy. If I was closer to this area, I'd make it a point to come back, and to try their pulled pork (Friday's only!).

I didn't want a Parma so they changed it to a standard schnitzel for me The front bar is pretty small but that's fine and a largish TAB also in the bar which adds the old style typical feel to the pub which I miss with all the other fancy pubs around that don't seem to have a soul. They have pokies but they are stuffed away in the corner next to the bistro next door so that's fine. I will definitely be back as it provides what it advertised and a good place to go if you need a change from the other mass produced venues that are only after your dollar, not trying to provide an enjoyable experience. Well done. I'm glad I gave it a go.

So, this place was once a bank, but now it happens to be a wine bar (I know it was a bank because…read morethe vault is still there, though I wonder if modern banks still have the vaults - it doesn't look like it, at least like the ones in these old banks). I actually suspect that this is located in the section of Melbourne that was known as the dry zone, which is why there is a huge area to the east of the city where there are absolutely no pubs. However, this is a wine bar, and yeah, it wasn't great, but at least they had some nice beers on tap.

At times the chicken isn't as hot as I'd like but otherwise a good feed when craving fried chicken. I'd try the whole chicken off the bone next time! The ginger beer is also really good there! and it's alcoholic (very little) but great to have while eating fried chicken. There's a waitress there that is always happy and cheerful which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable!
