The George Hotel — Restaurant in Melbourne

Probably the worst restaurant/pub/food place I have ever attended. Never ever recommend this place to anyone. I have been there on 04/01/2018 for new year team lunch, requested the guy who was taking orders that if he can provide some vegetarian food option, been told sorry we don’t provide those options! Then somehow ended up suggesting vegetarian pasta which I agreed to have, when it comes out, this so called vegetarian pasta was dump of over cooked pasta in tomato sauce (no vegetables no cheese nothing else at all) 3 people ordered same dish, all were terribly disappointed. This place called GEORGE HOTEL in south Melbourne basically made mockery of us. And hang on this is not end of it!!!!! Soon I requested some cheese to make it eatable (after all you spent $18 bucks), they provided some cheese (how great!!) once I poured that cheese on dump of the lump pasta, I have been told cheese has costed me extra $5 bucks!!! I asked for the manager and he was para-normally rude guy, probably equally worst as their pasta! He told me that you ask for vegetarian food this is what we serve! You asked for it. This guy has no manners of how to talk to a lady at all. No manners how a hotel manager should talk to paying guest at all, I have requested some chilly flakes and been told straight up that we do charge for chilly flakes as well. (Yes terrible absolute disgraceful, complete rip off, without any care of vising guest who are paying for that food)

This place is a joke; I would never ever go there again! There are plenty of good places around and I have been to them all. This one is undisputed bad, none of us are...

Came here for a quick pint and to catch a bit of the AFL semi final. It has signs everywhere advertising that they have the AFL grand final playing there and how to book. Yet the two bar staff, who are incredibly friendly, don't know how to change the channel from the NRL Brisbane v Penrith game. It apparently requires a special key to a back room. The staff member, a lady in a check flannelette top, who has that key has appeared. She however is completely indifferent to putting the Cats v Swans game on. The nice man staff member told me it would be 5 minutes and then it'd be put on. Yet now it's 20 minutes after asking and 10 minutes into the match and no AFL in a Melbourne pub. The one with access to the special back room clearly does not care about AFL. I have have asked twice politely and she's too busy sorting cutlery. I am not the only person who is confused. This is Melbourne not Sydney. People who aren't bogans enjoy watching the AFL too. The man was very apologetic and he said he wanted to watch it too. I should add that the beer choice in this place is terrible. No craft or local beers except Furphy on tap, unless you call squires, white rabbit and boags local beers (not intending to be rude to these beers, especially Furphy as it's a nice beer). Get some local craft beers on tap if you're too pretentious...

Got our food order wrong in more than one way, my mum got chilli when we asked not to have it and I got no mayo with my chips and it was of poor quality and flavour! If you want a great pub burger, and this pub seems to be lauding it's burgers, your benchmark is the Grosvenor in Elwood - this was just plain, soggy rubbish that was well marketed.

1 Female Toilet and 1 Gender Neutral Toilet, No Men's, no urinals that I could find.

One of the barmen decided to pass comment on how we were talking to and disciplining our 2 year old - he didn't strike me as someone who would have children - just plain rude!

Good job we were having a good day as My Mother, My Wife and I laughed at the ridiculousness of a place that put 110% into appearance, marketing and the toilet arrangements and 0% into service, hospitality and equality - obviously men and families are not really catered for.

Would have got 1 star but the beer and cider was good and really cold.

A living, breathing joke! Go for drinks and not food if you are not male or expecting...
