Well, visiting the local brewery was definitely going to be on the cards, especially since I discovered that it was just a short trip from the railway station. Well, that short trip certainly turned out to be for the best because I have to say that this brewery was awesome. Not only did they happen to have some great staff, but the beers were great. In fact, they went beyond great. Yep, this is definitely a place I would recommend checking out.

They will still charge you a 15% PH fee on top of regular prices + a processing fee for taping your card. Disappointed.

We stumbled into the Cellar Door on election day for brekky. Nice venue in the posh restaurant area…read moreof Eastland Shopping Centre. This is not the kind of restaurant you go to if you want bacon and eggs on toast. All menu items are upmarket with a bit of a hipster, gourmet twist that's become commonplace in Melbourne and seem to be spreading to the eastern suburbs, not that that's a bad thing. The salt came in a little dipping tray with no spoons, so you had to use your fingers to add some to your food. Not sure how sanitary that is, but I guess... it's salt? The only thing off putting about that is if there were already finger depressions in the salt. The coffee was ok. You can request Gluten Free bread. I ordered the poached eggs, avocado, toast & lemon. Literally, half an avocado came with my dish, cut into slices. Both poached eggs fit on one piece of enormous GF toast slice, so I mashed my avocado up, pinched in some salt and made my own guacamole to put on the other slice of toast. I had to order bacon on the side. Two slices of overcooked bacon for $4 seemed a bit steep. Would have been nice if the poached eggs had the option to come with a house made hollandaise or something. Maybe some hot sauce? The house whipped butter was good though. Hubby wanted scrambled, but there were no options, but they made it for him anyway, which was nice. I had to google what some of the menu items were, but I've had worse.

Just off the main street in Croydon, Bazoo Bar is Croydon's indoor/outdoor bar and lounge…read more A good place to catch up for a drink, or to blow off steam on the weekend, Bazoo has a great outdoor deck area looking out onto the greener areas of Croydon. Perfect for a weekend arvo beer in the sun. I've been here a couple of times and was surprised by the prices they charged for a bottle of beer. Without tap beer on offer, you're stuck for choice, and end up having to fork out more than necessary for a stubby. Hosting live music most nights of the week, usually of the acoustic persuasion, Bazoo caters for those in the area who aren't keen on drinking at the many licensed hotel/gaming megaplexes.

Well, not always, but at least when I am looking for a place to eat, and this just happened to be across the road from the railway station.

As for the burgers, yeah, they were pretty good as well.

In a way it does have some charm about it, though that is probably about it. Well, they do have a nice beer garden, and a decent sized bistro as well. However, as I mentioned, it is basically just a suburban pub, with everything that such pubs tend to entail, such as a limited selection of beers on tap. Yeah, probably not a place that I'd spend too much time at.

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.
