My partner and I went last night for our monthly date night. We wanted a pub, so we chose here. I appreciated the technology and signage put up to meet covid requirements but some free wifi would have been appreciated to make check in quicker. My phone wouldn’t pick up the 4g and the waitress assured me everyone has trouble because of the buildings thick walls. So what should have been a 1 min process to sign in almost took me 10 mins! They then had a clever QR code reader at each table, where you scan it to bring up the menu and can order and pay from your table. Would recommend to reprint the table number signs to make the qr code higher- because the only way I could get it to scan was by picking it up, which makes “contactless” pointless. This system was fab and very Efficient. Only issue is there was no clear way to flag wait staff for: table water, or condiments like salt and pepper.
The venue interior was beautiful, appreciated some ambience but it seemed so dark that the lighting was putting us to sleep.
I ordered the porterhouse steak with mushroom sauce and switched out my salad for veggies. As I am pregnant I asked for my steak well done, it did come out quite pink in parts, but mostly was cooked well. I still ate it all as it was yummy. The veg were fresh, clearly hand picked and tasty. Simply steamed I think and appeared to have a buttery taste, which was fab. The chips were good, the seasoning was tasty. If anyone knows what the seasoning is on these chips let us know! It was driving my partner and I crazy guessing. It’s kind of tangy with pepper? I would give my dish a 4/5 as there was some room for improvement but all in all it was a solid dish.
My partner got the Parma which was tasty, but lacking a touch more sauce.
We shared a sticky date pudding which was light and fluffy, but needed more sauce and ice cream.
I may sound super negative above but honestly all in all it was pretty good.
We headed to the Auburn hotel today for some drinks in the sunny courtyard and several bowls of chips. There are distinctions here; they offer regular, beer battered and wedges all of which we happily tried. The building has a really pretty interior and some of the menu items being ordered looked really yummy. Will definitely be back for lunch
Really good vibe here! We enjoyed some drinks and shared a couple of dishes together on a sunny winters day! It’s got a great court yard and it’s good for family entertaining or functions! Recommend!
Fantastic to spend sometime with friends in one of the gorgeous igloos, which was warm and comfortable despite of the cold winter nights. The food platter (cheese/cold meats/olives/liver pate/bread/cheese/crackers/hummus/celery/grapes/honey) was so generous in serving size but extremely delicious. I loved the chocolate fondue with fresh bananas and strawberries...honeycomb, marshmallows, shortbread and brownie were definitely a hit too!
The Winter Igloos are sensational. We had an igloo for 2 people even though it can seat 8-10. It’s a great experience on a winters day/night. For $49 per person it’s great value getting a food platter and including a drink each...and the Igloo is yours to use for 2.5 hours. The Auburn Hotel is a great hotel with various rooms to use. Might have to come back with a group of friends.
Great place for parents and kids on a Sunday. I call it kid friendly Sunday sessions. Free face painting, balloons and petting zoo on Sundays. Outdoor heating available. Massive parmas (on the dry side) and impressive chicken burgers. Kids nuggets and chips were good, too. Definitely will come back.
The Auburn Hotel is at it again. Just when we thought they couldn’t top the botanical garden summer pop-up day beds, they’ve answered the call to Winter with a magical construct of igloos. Teaming up with Wild Turkey, its the sweet edge of their American Honey bourbon that will flavour the complementing cocktail menu of the season! Melbourne Rooftop Honey keeps the menu on theme with packages available also available for larger groups of up to 28 in the mega igloo!
Love this place - great staff, massive venue and the outdoor area has been one of my favourite spots during Summer this year. Their steak night on Tuesdays is great value. I had a pre-Christmas lunch here with Dad and booking a table online was super easy. Their menu is a wee bit expensive, but the parma and steak goes down a treat. Loving their Hendrick's collaboration at the moment.
A great pub in Hawthorn. Its cosy with heaps of seating and screens with the cricket playing. Great happy hour deals and some damn good chicken wings.
A grand old lady. This pub is big w lots of break out areas.
The beers are James Squire, Carlton, Hahn, some craft beers such as white rabbit and a Hawthorn IPA which I ordered. This was a tasty brew, as I'm not really a fan of
IPA but I enjoyed this one, although I could easily have had another Hahaha ...
I was lucky enough to stumble upon happy hour so the pint was only $8. Great value.
Mmnn hard to hear inside here but it was happy hour :)
Always thought of this place more as a bar than a restaurant. Used to have big Sunday sessions. Nice food, entrees and dessert was the stand out. Dad will enjoy the atmosphere, I certainly did. Could have a discussion without going deaf. The website had a gallery section for all the meals on the menu, excellent work.
Apon reading some mixed reviews I really didn’t know what to expect, well all I can say is GO and check it out, because our food and drinks were spectacular! The Parma was amazing!!! Honestly one of the best in Melbourne for sure. Staff are very well equipped even on busy days. Thanks for making our night special
Booked a igloo and got surprised with the quality of food.
When I booked it, igloo seating is a set menu option so I thought I probably just paying for the igloo as gimmick didn't have any expectation on food.
Turns out it's totally delicious and worth the price! For $69 you get a 3 courses meal + special cocktail. On a rainy winter night, the igloo is surprisingly cozy. It has a heater and Bluetooth speaker inside. It feels very private too as no one else can hear you vice versa.
Good experience!
We had a fantastic night dining at Auburn Hotel’s winter igloo experience as a group of 4. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality and volume of food on the 3-course shared menu and the staff went above and beyond to accomodate dietary requirements within our group. The service was very quick and attentive which made the igloo dining feel even more like an occasion. Thank you for such an enjoyable service, we can’t wait to return!
Only came here for a beer so can’t speak for the food, but there’s a decent selection of beers here. It was disappointing to only find 2 or so craft beers here with Balter and Stone & Wood being on offer but those are great choices. Got one of those and a Guinness and those never disappoint. The ambience of the pub is great with many tv screens available to watch some sport and it has a classic pub feel.
We had an extended family lunch there today. Good food and lovely staff but like many at the moment obviously understaffed as food and drinks took longer than ideal. In saying that the staff were lovely. I loved that there was an area for people to bring along their pups. Great to see. Thoroughly entertained watching the puppies through the window. Would definitely recommend.
