A group of us, from Adelaide, over for a Crows V Demons game at the MCG. We were early, so popped in here for a drink before the game. Now, as a domesticated ex-pom, brought up in the knowledge that going into the wrong pub in the wrong colours on matchday can easily be a once in a lifetime experience, I'll admit to some unease around going to what looks, from the outside, to be a very basic, even dingy-looking city boozer in the very heart of Melbourne territory. How wrong can you be? Inside is a cosy traditional pub, a welcoming vibe and friendly staff. A bar at the front, complete with a pair of classic video game machines and a restaurant area at the back, we didn't eat there but the food looked like good quality pub-grub. An absolute gem of a place. Five stars for reminding me what pubs used to be.
