A hidden gem, great atmosphere and friendly staff.We stopped for brunch on the weekend and the food and service did not disappoint, we will definitely be back.
I love coming here for post-work drinks with my friends. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Delish food and a wide array of drinks to choose from at an acceptable price point.
Nice place. Really good atmosphere! Went for a friends bday. Had a few drinks and had some snacks. Had the spicy popcorn cauliflower, onions rings and shoestring fries. The spicy popcorn cauliflower was the best we have ever had!! Fries were pretty good as well. The onion rings were a little let down - wish they fried them a little more and made them crispier. Overall pretty good!
Quite an interesting place, although I obviously looked at the map wrong and didn't get the river views I hoped for (but that was my fault). Risotto was lovely (who would have thought mint would work?), two diners had the pork belly and were happily crunching away on the crackling, and another had the parma and it was a decent size. As we left, I noticed the outdoor area that I had missed on the way in, I would have loved to sit there near the fires and just chill.
A huge venue at South Wharf, Melbourne Public is a really good bar and restaurant, especially on the weekend when it can get really busy. It has a great atmosphere and a lovely modern fitout, and a great drinks list. Service is fairly prompt, even when it's busy, and staff have a great attitude.
I've been here many times when they have live music, and other times to watch sport on tv, or to catch up with friends. The live music provides a fun atmosphere and it's great to have a dance. I haven't eaten in the restaurant for a while, but it also seems to get busy. A fun venue, with a fun crowd; Melbourne Public is a cool place to hang out and chill.
Great Vibes! Just walking past this place I had to try it. Again a good selection happy hour coctails. A generous G&T. I'd go back for a drink and a bite
$1 Oysters on Friday night!!
Pair it up with some drinks and sides. How can you not give it a 5. Also no one seems to want the restaurant side on a Friday night. So if you want some intimacy this may be the spot
Very spacious pub. Nice setting and friendly bar staff. Went here to watch the footy and have a little nibble.
I got calamari which had an asian inspiration. It was served with a sweet soy sauce. Very tender and flavorful. Wife got the parma. Parma was ok, nothing special.
Went in for a light meal for dinner and ordered an eggplant dish. It was almost like a lasagne made of eggplant which comes with salad. Not quite the idea of a healthy meal but it was a great tasting vegetarian meal.
Happy hour is also great, ordered the $10 mini fish bowl gin and tonic with quite a bit of fruit in it. They ran out of one of the drinks that was also on Happy Hour but I was happy with my second choice.
Ordered and pay at the bar and they immediately made the drink for me. Service is great.
There was a time my family use to come here every Friday for the $1 oysters. Always busy but always welcoming service with great atmosphere. Not once did we complain about the portion sizes or the meals. All the drinks from the bar go great too.
Awsome venue! Live music, good food what more can you want. Have been here for birthdays and sporting events and even our work Xmas party. Great spacious venue and great place to catch up with friends.
Wheelchair accessible indoors and out. Accessible bathroom.
We went here for new years ever with 3 chairs. No bookings and had drinks all night.
Amazing!
EDIT
2 Years in a row
Great service and great crowd
Yum at good prices! There was a live performance as well, which was great.
My friend requested for our table to be wiped clean; the lady staff just gave him a piece of cloth for him to wipe it off himself. It was OK, maybe the staff was busy, but quite a funny experience. 😅
Nice busy pub by the promenade. Great for a stop after shopping or just if you are passing by. Good cocktails, plenty of beer to chose from and very kind service. The burger sliders were ok. The only downside is that restrooms are up stairs which will get kind of far after a few drinks.
We came here for their Happy Hour... which is every Thursday & Friday between 4pm – 7pm, where you can get Espresso Martini, Gin Pink & Tonic, selected local pints, and cider pints for $10 each.
It's safe to say that we had 3 rounds of their amazing Espresso Martini and left very happy!
I definitely want to come back on Sunday as I was told that’s when they have their live band after 2pm.
We we're happy to see a bar open late at night which wasn't "too crowded". Staff were great! It was pretty toasty too even though we were seated in their tables outside in this winter weather. 👌👌👌 Patrons dancing to the live band had an awesome time inside too! ❤
Best place to have a night out with colleges!
Best salt&pepper squid! 5 🌟 👌 👍
Awesome pub. Went for a comedy gig, perfect space for it. Great atmosphere to have a laugh or crack a joke. Incredibly easy to get to and dangerously close to the roulette tables. A must visit for a beer or a footy game. Gotta go for it, definitely don’t walk past it.
Tap beers galore.
Amazing atmosphere! The staff was very friendly and super efficient. The “Jam Donut” is the best and you should definitely try it out ! All facilities were top class.
