We brought our Canadian friends here and we were not disappointed. We tried the beer paddles- we love 50 lashes, we tried the crocodile sausage roll,emu and venison meatloaf, kangaroo steak, wallaby gnocchi, mushroom risotto and a traditional parma and chips. What friendly and attentive staff. It was a great experience. We highly recommend it! 😃
The Crafty Squire is great for all occasions. Superb atmosohere to watch the football at and official home of the Melbourne Chelsea Supporters Club! Beers on tap are awesome too - can't go wrong with Squire beers and there's one for all taste buds.
Food is also great there, strongly recommend the parma, washed down with a nice pint of One Fifty Lashes pale ale!
We had our first drink in Melbourne at the crafty squire so it will always be a special place for us. They have a huge selection of craft beers and cider on offer, lots of delicious meals and friendly staff. We always have a good time when we visit.
Great weekday lunch options and great value ... Quite an easy choice if you don't know where to go. The crumbed pork schintzel was good but they no longer have it on the menu
Not a bad pub, right in the centre of busy Russell St; the Crafty Squire is good at delivering the goods to sport mad patrons. With tvs in every room, you will often find the place full of people watching the footy, playing pool and relaxing over a few drinks.
There are several rooms, and it's decked out like an old pub with lots of wood. The atmosphere is friendly and jovial, and the staff are lovely. There is a great variety of drinks, and although it's standard pub fare, the food is pretty good too. There are no bells and whistles, but the Crafty Squire is still a fun place to hang out.
I been to all the Squires! This one is the first in the city. Im a fan of there beers. A great vibe and heaps of beer what's not to love. Well priced, fast and efficient. I never really dined upstairs so definelty a differnet experience.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food. Clean, spacious, sport on the TV whilst still being able to hold a conversation over the (good) music.
Particularly enjoyed the decor and rooftop terrace.
Will definitely visit again!
Came here on Tuesday night with 3 others and had beer tasting for 8 different beer😌 with their new craft beer, coffee + beer; can taste the coffee a bit, a slight bitter. Love ‘the chancer’ pretty light and fruity. And one more.. but a hint of caramel!
If you’re after a causal, chilled out pub in the CBD with a good drinks selection, this is the place. A variety of beers on tap, I tried this cider on tap which was good, a crispy apple flavour, sweet enough. A decent pub food menu, with generous portions. Pictured here is the salmon on Waldorf salad and chicken Parma - which is a very generous size!
The famous $20 lunch deal - always ordered the porterhouse steak with mushroom source. Staff were very hospitable and food were served quickly even the venue was fully packed.
I ordered the special menu spinach and ricotta ravioli. It was really interesting because when it came out I probably would’ve described it more as a spanakopita crossed with ravioli. There was no sauce either really. But the meal was lovely. I ordered a dark and stormy cocktail which was also beautiful. Oh, and you can’t go past the baked Camembert - absolutely to die for!
A farewell lunch at the Crafty Squire was a great choice! The restaurant allowed 12 of us to split the bill and were very attentive from the beginning.
The atmosphere was pumping for 1pm on a Friday with the tables being occupied by many city workers.
We ordered a variety of food that included; the Parma, Truffle & Mushroom risotto, Calamari, Club Sandwich, Steak, and the Veggie Burger. As a lunch time special, all mains were $20 which obviously made for many happy faces! The food was tasty and there weren’t any complaint so we will be back 😃
Always a nice option for good craft beer or food at the back of your mind kind of place. Nice vibe great for night out or group catch-ups. Love the option of beer tasting. Friendly staff. A nice place to watch sports for sports fans. Reasonable pub food. Easy recommendation anyone around the city who wants some nice cold quality beer
It’s a very cozy place, clean and good service🤵🏼. My Parmy was very yum🤤, but my partner's Rump dish was cold and he didn't enjoy it very much👎🏻. We loved the beer🍻, we tried tap beer such as Jack de Picas Porter with chocolate and coffee notes and a creamy texture and Four Wives Pilsener with a floral aroma and spicy flavor. If you want to enjoy a nice chat and a good beer, this’s the place. Playlist music is good, moderate volume, you can choose inside or outside space. I recommend it and enjoy it👌🏻.
This Parma is defs in the top 5, it was delicious and came out super hot and fresh. Staff were lovely, but it was a super busy Saturday night with a few big parties happening, including ours, order earlier if you see it’s busy. Drinks were also fantastic, the lemon lime and bitters was well mixed. Enjoyed ordering from the table. Street parking all around, but 1 to 2 hours, best to take another mode of transport or a paid parking lot.
So good the steak 🥩🥩🍟 , tasty like i love it....🤤🤤🤪
And we ended the night with some good tequila shots, nice place to catch up after work. Perfectly located in the cbd. ✅✅✅
Team drinks for EOFY. Spacious and lot of room including upstairs. No happy hour. G&T regular was $12.50 which was a bit pricey. Liked the fact that they serve fries not the thick cut chips.
Nice clean place. Food was good all the times that I went over a few trips. Beer is much more traditional styles rather than all the over the top high octane stuff that is going on in the states lately. It was a refreshing change to how beer used to be and probably should be again.
If you order from mr.yum you will can order 4 from 5 choices of the beers for tasting plater.
For the advice you should order them from waiters.
