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.

I like the Glen Waverley RSL because it's my mum and dad's favourite hang out. They LOVE it here,…read moreand they've made many friends here so I can totally understand why. 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.

We've been frequenting 'The Irish Pub' for years and have always found it a pleasant location to…read moreenjoy casual dining and a drink (if you're so inclined). We go for lunch on week days, about three times per month. All meals are generous and consistently well prepared, presented and tasty. If you're a senior, the choice and price is great value and, the meals are not smaller portions. The daily 'specials' are also good value, our last meal was the satisfying 'Irish Flat Breads' (pizza) normally cost up to $18 for $10 (Monday special) Coffee is always $1.95 before noon. You have the choice of sitting inside on stools at the barrel tables, in booths, at standard tables or outside 'al fresco' on bar stools and bench tables. It's a destination for us. Our daytime experiences have always been positive. We even take our friends there. I can't comment on evenings/nights.

Seamus McPeake's Irish Pub is the local pub for the residents of Knox and surrounds. Hidden away in…read morea corner of Knox City Shopping Centre's Knox Ozone, it is a small venue which has the energy more commonly found in venues of the inner city. Among locals it is called "The Irish". A traditional irish pub in every sense it sports dark wooden furniture and a few booths at the back - perfect for a catch-up with mates. There are little nooks and crannies in every corner with all kinds of seating from bar stools, to benches to seats that double as small tables. Service is quick, but not quick enough when it comes to keeping the place clean - it is pretty grimy and the chances that someone will spill a drink on you are pretty high so I would caution against wearing your best clothes. Dress code is smart casual - just keep it simple. Entry is only $5 and drinks are relatively cheap too which is always a good thing. The place is busiest on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and because of its size is packed full pretty quickly. There is an outdoor smokers area, which is tiny but it doesn't seem to deter patrons from crushing against each other in order to secure themselves some room out there. The dance floor is tiny but again, when there is a will there is a way and there are a lot of very willing dancers here. Patrons range in age from the very young to the very old although there tends to be more males than females.

It was a work of art on a plate, and it was also very yummy.

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.

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.

Honestly, there really isn't all that much to say about this pub, though I suspect it is an okay…read morepub if you happen to live in the area, which isn't the case with me. It is sort of handy, being a pub and all that, and it does serve beer, but then again you probably expected that since this is a pub. Still, don't expect the Ritz Carlton or anything (not that I would go to the Ritz Carlton, but that is another story). In the end this is a pub I'd probably pass on.

I've been here quite a few times since I've been in the area. It's got pretty much everything you…read moreexpect from a pub in the suburbs. The pokies, the bar, the really quite nice bistro, etc. I usually grab a parma, which is well presented and the serving size is fairly generous. It's not terribly expensive either. I've also seen a few bands here over the years. I saw the Whitlams here a few years ago - maybe it was lots of years ago. Either way, the atmosphere was exactly as it should be. It seems to attract a good crowd for live bands. I've been to places where the crowd would just talk through the music and you couldn't enjoy it. Haven't had that here. Anyway, it's a nice place, it's near the Glen, and if you've had a few drinks here and it's late, Maccas is right across the road.

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!).
