Yep, it has a pretty big beer garden, and a pretty awesome one at that. It also has a great selection of beers on tap, but further it also has live music, and live music that you don't have to pay to hear as well, which is another thing that pretty much sets this place apart from many of the other live music venues in Melbourne. Honestly, I love this place, and in fact I want to stop writing this now and go and pay it a visit again, except that it happens to be the middle of the week, so unfortunately that isn't going to happen.

I went twice in one day and they were having events so the inside was booked but I was able to sit outside. The second time I came was at night and it was busier but the friendly staff remembered me from earlier in the day and brought me out a table. Definitely recommend. Margaritas were so good too. Give this place a visit!

You know, I just love it when I accidentally stumble upon a bar that I have never known about…read morebefore, such as this one. I actually discovered it as I was visiting a couple of other pubs, and since it looked pretty cool (that is it was a bar) I checked it out. Well, as one can expect from the inner suburbs of Melbourne, this place is pretty cool, the staff are friendly, and they have some great beers on tap as well. Also, it was pretty laid back, which is what I also like.

One of the great things about Melbourne is that there is always a new bar to discover, and this bar…read moreis certainly one of them. I only discovered it relatively recently, and when I paid it a visit I was suitably impressed. In a way it is a rooftop bar, but it is a little more than that as well since they have some down stairs areas as well. It can be a little difficult to find, namely because it is a single door, but when you get onto the roof, it is pretty cool. Oh, and they have some decent beers as well.

Been during the week and its perfect for getting a little alone time with someone next to the fireplace or have a few drinks with friends on the rooftop. Cocktail suggestion: The John Wayne, a delicious bourbon cocktail with citrous hints and garnished with a orange peel and burnt cloves. Friday is definitely the night to make it out here.

You can't take food in there but you can take your perfect margarita or whatever classic cocktail you've ordered. The bartenders here are a talented lot. They know what they're doing and they'll make you a delicious drink, whatever that may be. The food is also great - simple flavours that really bring out the best in each dish. The room itself is pared back, elegant and not at all showy. I can't fault this bar. It's almost perfect, and that's the highest compliment I can pay it because to be absolutely perfect would be boring.

I gotta say, I don't frequent many 'bar' type bars, I'm generally more of a pub guy. LongPlay has…read morebeen a sweet awakening... The folk at LongPlay know about making the customer happy. They are super friendly, they serve very good cocktails, they play good tunes and they even show movies. They've started showing limited/no release films out the back here on a regular basis and their selections have had me intrigued. They'll pull out obscure rockumentaries and rarities and for this I salute them. My buddies turned me on to Handsome Sailors (the drink, not the seamen) and this spot has now become one of my favourites to stop in for a nightcap after dinner or a night out. We rocked up one night as the dude was locking up and he even opened the bar back up for us for just out of good nature. He even let us spin a few records and we did some cocktail sampling. He's a champ, this is a winner. Go there.

I've been to this place once before and I have to say that it was quite by accident that I actually…read morediscovered it - I had stepped out of the Brunswick Hotel, looked down Weston St and saw this Carlton Draught sign, so I decided to go and check it out. I must admit that it didn't really stand out that first time, however when I went back more recently I discovered that this is actually a pretty cool pub. It is one of those pubs that have a lot of little nooks and crannies, and also staff that are more than happy for you to look around and explore. In fact when I mentioned that I quite liked old pubs, the owner started telling me how a number of historical societies come here to check the place out. I should come here more often.

I feel compelled to write this review as someone previously had given them 1 star and I feel like…read morethis is more of a 3.5 star experience. While I agree the food is not exceptional (and it really needs to be to survive in this area), the friendly staff and decent wine and craft beer list help a lot. The fit out is the best part of this place. I'm a sucker for well designed cafés and restaurants (this is both), and was blown away by the cute design and use of space. It's very photogenic and will be great in summer, sitting on the front deck drinking Campari spritz or In winter tucked away out back with a glass of red wine. There is also a bluestone cellar with a large pool table hidden downstairs! Not many of these left in modern pubs around this area! All in all this place has a lot of room to improve but the foundation is there for a great addition to Collingwood.

We were seated in a booth up the back - not great for atmosphere but it was late (for us) so we were happy to just be with our own company. I was very happy to find they had Starward whisky on the menu - stoked, my favourite! The staff were very friendly and great with the recommendations - we had some food and I don't know if it was the late hour or the glowing review the staff gave it but it was absolutely delicious. We had one item that was like an arancini ball but it was crumbed mashed potato with a beautiful truffled mushroom ragu in the middle. I shared one with my friend but could easily have eaten another two to myself! The fried artichokes were also tasty but the balls were the best.

In fact, the service here was pretty good, and they certainly have quite a decent range of beers on tap as well. Oh, and they also have some quite nice and relaxing live music playing as well.

The ramshackle is this pub's most charming characteristic, and I hope to god nothing about it changes, ever. From the outdoor toilets to the regulars to the fantastic live music that seems to rise out of nowhere, the Pinnacle is unaffected by fashion, style or trend. It's beyond all of that which means nothing, and that makes it a precious and rare thing in Melbourne today. Long live the Pinnacle!

This really helped to keep the drinks flowing. Be aware that there is a 3 story climb via stairs although there is an elevator to provide disabled access. The main let down: I was very disappointed to find that smoking was allowed under the edges of covered area and even encouraged by ashtrays on the tables. For non-smokers, this is a real turn off and may even be illegal.
