Came here for a drink and a bite and was an enjoyable experience.
Decent beer selection, although the only lager available was the Sapporro at $14 but that's fairly common these days.
We had the brisket and pork tacos which were really good, tasty and fresh.
Was expecting more in the way of BBQ meat
Always a good time at our local Gem Bar. Chris, Lily Doggo and I love coming here for a knock off drink. Food is delicious too! 9th July big feast with Half rack Ribs, and 23rd July Lockdown take away Tacos & Marg. Staff always so kind and welcoming :-) Gave Lily some chicken on a busy night. Legend
Great pub serving American style bbq complete with rock and roll songs. The place might look small from the outside but actually there's multiple rooms inside. The brisket and the chips are really good! The pork belly is soft but the sauce is a little too sweet for me.

We had our work Xmas party at The Gem. It’s a common theme in and around Collingwood to bring American smoked BBQ meat to a bar and these guys nailed it. It’s unpretentious and delicious. The lamb ribs were the stars by far but the brisket and pork butt had their moment of glory. With a trip across
On the recommendations of many before me, we came here to try out the American BBQ style pub meals. Those with a good appetite will find it hard to resist the Pitmasters' Plate, choosing from 4 meats and 3 sides. There's a good selection of individual meats, seafood and vegetarians are really well c
Ace to see a great menu back at the Gem.The Gem is an awesome venue with friendly staff and good drinks specials with happy hours.
The food from Melvins bbq is some of the best around Collingwood,highly recommend.
Expensive drinks and surly staff, but not in a good way. They nail the Americana vibe with the decor but you'd better not care about the sting to your hip pocket.
Came here on a Saturday night and had the Cape Grim beef rib. OMG! It was amazing. Tender and juicy and smokey loveliness. Came back the next day and had a burger. Was like a good home made big Mac if that makes sense.
