I guess being close to the railway station really does assist pubs in a lot of cases, but this one…read morecertainly does stand out, even if it is due to the lack of pokie machines. Well, it does advertise that, and I certainly do appreciate it as well. Okay, while it didn't have a huge selection of tap beers, I did find that the staff were actually quite friendly, and the atmosphere pretty good as well. Oh, and I also really liked the building.

The live room is a good size and is attracting some very good musicians from Melbourne. The food is unpretentious but well done. A good selection of drinks and the cocktails seem to be quite popular. The vibe is kind of faded European glory and it's very well done too. There are lots of places to sit and have a communal yet private feeling as well. If you live in the area you have to make Sooki Lounge a regular hangout.

I wouldn't say it's the best food I've had, but the BBQ pork sliders and nachos are pretty good. It's a very family friendly place, heaps of young kids around while the music is playing. It's great to see all sorts here from teens to hippies to gothics to seniors all enjoying a drink and getting along. Nice place to hang out if you're away from the CBD and out in the 'mountains'....

This is probably because the building does look rather newish, though I would sort of put it at being about the 60s or 70s when they didn't put much pride in their design. The beer selection was quite limited as well, but as I said, it is a country pub. However, they do have some nice displays on the wall, and the view from the beer garden is nice, so I'll give it that.

In fact the girl in the change booth just sat there doing nothing, despite the fact that it was clear that I was waiting to get a beer.

With Melbourne's love affair with microbreweries and good beer growing by the hour, Oscars Alehouse…read moreopened its doors to provide the hills folk and tourists alike with a bar that understands the importance of good beer. The premises are intimate and charming, with old wood and comfy seating adding to the overall charm. With a great range of beer on tap and in the bottle, Oscars is the perfect place to sample and discover your new favourite beer. Last I heard there wasn't a full kitchen so food is in the way of gourmet snacks, such as cheeses and olives. A small beer garden opens out from the back, and live music is hosted on a regular basis, with very decent acts choosing to stop by and play an acoustic set. (Check the Facebook page for what's on.)

Only opens at 5 on Saturdays which surprised me but that is the only negative thing I can say about the place. Amazing selection of craft beers and even a good wine list. The place soon filled up after opening and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. I had an IPA from the US from the fridge and also sampled a Pirate Life Pale Ale on tap; both sensational. They do food too. Nice place. Shame it's so far from Brunswick :-)

This means that I did get a chance to have a beer here, even though it technically isn't the same place. Still, it wasn't too bad, actually, come to think of it, it was actually pretty good.
