First time visiting this place. The decor inside is very nice and interesting to look at. It doesn't have that dirty old beer pub smell which was really nice for a change. The premises and toilets were clean. There are three levels, which at first we found a bit confusing of where we were meant to be going to eat. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. My favourite was the Halloumi dish, amazing!! I also had the gnocchi which was good and chicken pieces which were moist and full of flavour. We were able to order from our table which was nice not to have to get up and figure out who and how to split the bill. Food came out pretty quickly which was good. I don't drink, but had a lemon lime bitters which was on point. My friends enjoyed the alcohol a lot!! Most of the staff were really nice, one person I am hoping was just having a rough night!

The service was shocking here last night, the security were watching us watch the footy almost without blinking, the bar staff were rude and I even had to take the drinks off the tray when they arrived. The shorter blonde bartender was the most rude and when cleaning tables she sprayed cleaner on a man too which got him to leave and just had no care about it. The food and drinks were very very very expensive. Including a 15% surcharge, I paid $19.85 per pint that I was ordering and over $50 per person for dinner. The rump steak didn’t look 350g and was a bit dry, so it was good they had butter on top, but it already had pepper on it which I don’t like and it wasn’t advertised anywhere. I liked that they used The Pass app because I received a few $10 discounts for all the money I was spending, but maybe that’s also why it’s priced higher. I heard the same songs many times when they were playing music, but it was good that there was a range of sport on TV and the live music with the guitar took requests and created a slightly better feeling to the place. I won’t be going back.

A fairly busy place on a Friday. Went for a meal with colleagues. The pale ale (hawthorn, I think on tap was pretty good). Table service was decent with most of the meals coming within ten minutes of each other, despite being a group of around ten. I had the chicken parmigiana. The quality of chicken was good and was a generous serve. The sauce was unremarkable and three crumb and chips slightly soggy. Not bad but not one of the best either. Other meals ordered at the table included a Barramundi and pulled pork burger, both of which were decent. Prices for meals are generally around 23-35 dollars. If this review helps you at all, please hit like to let me know it's useful to write detailed comments. Thanks!

Great hang out to catch up with friends. We've been here a couple of times to catch up, grab lunch and a have few drinks. This is conveniently located a short distance from Flinders street station. There are 3 levels, the ground floor is the main pub with the upper levels set up for dining and great outdoor balcony view. You can order food and drinks using the QR code or at the bar. On our last visit, our waitress was lovely and attentive. The menu offers your typical pub food such as burgers, parma, and steak and the portion are generous. On this occasion I got the fish and chips. The food was nicely presented and the chips was cooked to perfection.

Great multi room pub that is perfect for after work drinks (plenty of space and good ambience without being too loud). A wide range of tap beers (although a touch on the pricey side) but some reasonable happy hour specials. I was surprised and pleased to find a vegan parma on the menu (the rest of the menu is pretty standard pub food) and I have to say I was impressed. The parma itself is rich and well crafted, probably one of the better ones I have had. My photo doesn't quite do justice to the proportions of the meal (large serve of chips, smallish parma) but given the richness of the parma I think the size is just right.

A little bit more expensive than your standard pub fare (Spirits around $14, Steak was $59) but nice atmosphere in the rooftop area. Option of table service or ordering though the QR code menu. The doors to the balcony were opened to provide some ventilation. Unfortunate that it allowed multiple birds into the room, leaving droppings right on our table. Not entirely within their control, but the could always install bird deterrents. Didnt like the two big screen TVs with free to air and sports playing, it cheapened the atmosphere somewhat. Covid marshalls at door and masks were worn by staff.
