Parkview Hotel — Restaurant in Melbourne

None of the toilets have locks on the doors and there are no women's toilets, only unisex or men's. The beer selection is not very good and at $9 a pint it's not that cheap. The main bar closes early at random even with over 10 patrons in the bar, so you can't trust opening hours unless you're playing pokies.

You'd think some of the money from the nearly constantly open pokies could provide a decent beer, reliable opening hours or locks on the toilet doors at the very least.

To edit the review in fairness: there are now female toilets. What an exceptional effort! The male toilets still don't have locks, and they have added stone and wood pale ale for one decent beer.

Unfortunately you will never be able to watch a game of afl without the most toxic couple on the planet making their guttural screams and screaming f you after the team they don't support scores. If you attend, you'll understand how awful it is. Ruins the atmosphere of a rare pub that allows you to smoke and drink while...

The beer Garden closed at 11pm and we all got moved into the gaming area. So we might as well play!!

In my opinion, this is the number one poker machine venue in the state (Sydney does do poker machines better). I have never seen a place pay out as much as this place. Great $9 pints. Love the low dark colour ceilings with the fancy light fittings. There is a great balance of old and new machines and a good variety of different poker machine manufacturers. There even is one with a coin hopper !! Dragon link, Lightning link machines, Heart Throbber and Big red, they’re all Aussie classics.

The two workers in the venue provided good service. We had one person with us who ended up a little intoxicated and they stopped serving him alcohol. Very wise move.

Great location , good parking , nothing bad I can say about this place . Oh maybe try and get some ‘More Chilli’s...

Boooooooo! definitely has gone down hill the last month or so with the new owners and changes to smoking laws. Used to be a great pub to sit with a dog and a beer outside in the undercover/heated area and watch footy and chat to the other locals, now they no longer allow dogs or smoking in the undercover section as it's only for people eating and taken away the outside TV. Why not just keep food service inside and leave outside as it was? Your food is overpriced, poor quality pub food anyway and it shows in how many people have been coming lately. You've isolated the hundreds of locals who'd come to sit outside with a beer and Instead of thinking about how to make the place better to keep the locals coming, you just jacked up the prices to cover the loss, pushing us working class...
