Well, it would be unfair to call this a pokies pub, particularly since they also happen to have a…read morerestaurant, but honestly, I really don't like the place. I guess, when compared to all the other places along Brunswick street, this place simply doesn't compare one bit. In a way, it feels as if it really would be more suited to being in the outer suburbs as opposed to being here on Sydney Road, but then again I guess that the people that would frequent a place like this would need a place that aren't swarmed with the young and the hip, and blasting out live music. Oh, and don't expect a decent selection of tap beers either, there aren't any.

Great atmosphere and welcoming friendly staff... Typically I decided to have the Classic Chicken Parmigiana, highly recommend, and my friend had the Mexican Parmigiana, has jalapenos, also highly recommend. Reasonably priced, and I would recommend asking about accommodating children. If you knew me, I've had parmigiana at more than a few venues in Melbourne, Australia, the Classic Chicken Parmigiana lived up to the others I've had, the chicken was perfectly cooked. The venue I recommend to locals and tourists alike - FIVE STARS

I have to admit that I am somewhat impressed with their evolution over time, namely in regards to the beers that are available, and the fact that they have raised the concept of a sports bar to a new level, namely that they feel much better to sit down with a drink, and a lot less sleazy, that others. Of course, one of the main things that sets them apart is the fact that they pretty much has no pokies.

The fitout of this sports bar didn't do a lot for me. A bit grey and dull, I reckon. The scotches on offer were a bit pedestrian. I chose a Glenfiddich which was ok but as always no standout performer. Service was just ok here without any real warmth or human interest. I actually prefer the pokies pub up the road - and I momentarily forget its name - despite the fact that I detest pokies. The atmosphere is better there. The staff have been lovely there when I've visited. Tim E's review encourages me to discount thoughts of ever eating at the Sporting Club. In the end the only thing I really liked was the name of the place although a person I trust likes this place. Such is life. PS - I later remembered the name of the pub up the road. It's called The Vine. The front bar is called The Vineyard. In all of Melbourne there's not a place that looks less like a vineyard.

However, it isn't bad, and of course it does have a real sports bar atmosphere, but that is probably because it is a sports bar.

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.

The staff are very helpful and welcoming to your needs. SO I do not see any reason for people not to try this place out. As for me I do look like a small rabbit in the sea of lions and people who know a lot about sport. It is just something that I never caught on. I'm jealous

Since I've been away for two years I didn't realise the place had changed owners, but it evidently remains a busy little hub- even on the weekend when I would expect the area to be vacant.

Within this area decent cafes have been opening up on recent years so there is a bit of competition around at the moment and I'm glad to report this establishment can be considered a strong competitor. The ambiance is chill and the location is perfect. I'd definitely go back and would reccommend this place to people nearby in need of good coffee.
