Iron Oak Post — Restaurant in Melbourne

I don't know if I went at a bad time or what (Friday 6 PM 2/2/18) but your bartenders are incompetent at making mundane beverages. They failed at making a proper Moscow Mule, and a Manhattan; the Manhattan for damnsure. The mule was just 2-3 fl oz. of vodka, and a splash of lime juice. Had to ask for the ginger beer.?? Asked her to make it thrice(three times) until I just gave up for a while, and stuck with what I'd had. Whatever. The Manhattan, oh lord have mercy on the bartender for the Manhattan, should've never let that rye whiskey go to waste... :( :( :( :( I don't know what she did, it just tasted like, like, I don't know if I ever had such a large swig of dry vermouth in my life; I almost grew a third F%%%K%N chest with 19 extra nipples, and slapped my grandma, just from tastin' it. Whatever. Didn't cry. I decided that this "BAR" is probably not a liquor kinda "BAR", but, perhaps it must be a beer kinda "BAR". Decided to try the Hefeweizen on tap, it was called like cold clunk chain or somethin'. Man ohhhhhh man, that beer was good, however, the glass was not properly cleaned. You see, upon tilting the beer glass to allow the golden fluffy brew touch my lips, it enclosed my nose into the tall Bavarian glass, and allowed me to inhale, what I expected to be the enchanting aroma of hops and wheat, but unfortunately, it was the stench of rotting water. The beer glass was left in a dishwasher too long (after completion), or maybe it was hand washed, and then left out to dry, perhaps upside down on a rag for a prolonged period of time, which allowed moisture to be entrapped, causing an extremely rancid, sulphur-like, gag-making aroma. Look. I understand that this isn't "San Francisco" where you drink Snowflake Light Quadruple IPA Organic NON-GMO rBGH gluten free beer out of Swarovski crystal beer mugs, but, at least have some clean glasses, because they truly make or break the beer drinking experience; especially for the...

Nice atmosphere and beer selection, but a little overpriced and horrible acoustics Edit: I initially took this to be a craft beer and high end cocktail bar, but tonight they are trying to be a dance club. The music is loud enough that anyone trying to talk has to yell, which doesn't work with the already poor acoustics. I've noticed that many places downtown try to be every type of venue to attract a larger crowd. Pick something and stick with it. Be what you are, not everything.

Second edit. It smells of vomit. Many taps are empty. They want $8 for a beer you can get for $5 anywhere else in town. Almost every beer on the board is $8, which is conveniently standardized, except many of them you will only get a 12oz pour and several will...

Well, visited Rochester on a cold night, their parking area was packed, so we had to find street parking which was impossible but when we finely did it was a walk. Now we arrived and were asked if we had reservations, so we would have to wait, understandable. The wait was long and the waiting area was a two person bench in the hallway by the main door, needless to say, everytime someone came in, so would the freezing cold. Let me add, this is a bar/restaurant so the music is at full capacity and right in front of the waiting area. Eventually we were seated and served. The food is meant to look high end, but it's not. Taste was poor, price was high and service what you would expect from a busy place. Never will I go...
