We visited for post work farewell drinks for a departing colleague on the eve of the latest lockdown, if I knew we were going to be extended with even harsher rules we probably would have had a bigger night!
This was the first time I’ve been here without having an actual meal but I tucked into the yummy chips whilst the boys enjoyed the beers. It really is a lovely old charming South Melbourne pub

We returned to the Golden gate for dinner ordering the same dishes again, as you can see from the photos whilst the crockery might change the consistency of plating is identical and the quality and value for money is unaltered. I definitely recommend a visit

Back at the GG for dinner as it’s certainly fantastic value for money. We've actually never walked out of here for $20 when we came in with the intention of eating the $10 steaks as we'll get the calamari and maybe a salad to share too but I always find it to be good pub grub and in fact the dining room section is actually quite fancy (and the sticky date is amazing too).
Updated review
Having frequented the Golden Gate on many an occasion for their $10 steaks I think the quality actually surpasses most of what you get at various steak nights around Richmond which are usually more the $14 mark. And they offering this all day every day. The chips are pretty good too and the blue cheese sauce I opt for is lovely. They even had live music last night which was awesome
Original review
Tonight I opted for a cheesy pizza and a Parma which were your typical pub classics, tasty and familiar. Quite loud and busy on a Friday night but you'll forgive them given they are running a pretty decent happy hour.
This is a great pub for an after work drink, or an early afternoon stop on a sunny day. Even though there is plenty of room inside, I enjoy sitting outside under the big market umbrellas and soaking up the atmosphere. Located on a busy corner, this place gets really busy, and you can tell it's a favourite with locals.
The food menu is standard pub fare of steaks, burgers and parmas; but we just come for the drinks and relaxed atmosphere. I've always found the service to be outstanding, the crowd friendly and the bar has a good wine selection. The Golden Gate Hotel is popular for good reason, and definitely a fun venue to hang out with friends at.
This is nice local pub. They have a good range of craft beers and this place was full of locals just enjoying the night.
It’s a relaxed pub, with lots of different places to sit on some old school retro chairs. I tried a pint of “The Gate Lager” which I assume was a home brew and it was really good. In fact it was a bit too easy drinking hahaha
This pub is definitely a place that I’d go back to.
Went for the $10 steak on a Sunday night. Can’t go wrong. Got a good piece. Felt a little hungry still after I finished but for $10 If you are in the area, pop in and you will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Beer battered chips would be better!
They have live music when we went so nice ambience.

I grabbed a glass of sparkling from here on a bustling Friday night while I waited for others to arrive for dinner somewhere else. The crowd was vibrant and the live music was great, I loved the happy hour prices, I don’t mind how long I have to wait for everyone else to turn up.

One of the best Sunday’s roast!!
I’ve just been here Sundays , but the food is amazing, especially the roast!!
The wait staff are friendly!!
If on a Sunday you are in South melbourne you have come and try the roast!!
The $10 steak special is hands down one of the best value deals going around this side of Melbourne. I've been going back for years. The quality isn't amazing, but for the price is very good. Keep it up guys!
What a great pub! I have dined in the bar area and restaurant a couple of times and always enjoyed the food, friendly service and atmosphere. Recently attended a function upstairs and was very impressed with the room and the food. Highly recommend this South Melbourne gem!
It’s a cool mid week mid January evening at the Golden Gate where the food is good at a good price, the staff are welcoming and the vibe is relaxed. A table on the street to watch the variety of folks and the odd tram go by and it reminds me why I love and support the local Aussie pub. A microcosm for the fortunate part in the world we enjoy.
Good deal on their $10 steak- the cut of meat itself is quite chewy but at least the chef cooks it in the best way possible to make it palatable. Chips and greens were good too. Always had good service here and excellent happy hour.
Dinner 23/06/22
Food was pretty good pub food, the salad dressing worked really well but during winter would be good if they offered a vegetable only option. The pepper sauce with the schnitzel was basically brown water no flavour and far too thin consistency.
The staff were so lovely one of the guys behind the bar that served us was incredibly polite and worked his arse off.
Only thing I would say they had a live band on which was great but the bloke on the saxophone needs to learn how to regulate his volume, we were as far away as you could be and be inside and it was deafening and 3 times the volume of the rest of the band!
We had my husband‘s 50th birthday here. They have a fabulous room upstairs which is for hire and the prices were really excellent the room has a vibe cool feel to it and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening. This is one of our local pub so we often go here for a beer, the food is good pub fare so pleased that it’s reopened it’s got a good street vibe it’s just a lovely building it’s always fun.

Hubby wanted pub meal after eating almost three weeks of Chinese food in Brisbane, so we decided to venture out to a nearby pub for a feed.
Maybe I am scarred by all the cheap pub food I have when I was younger, but while @goldengatehotel wasn’t out of this world, the food was actually quite good. We started with a light and crispy calamari with a beautiful yuzu and chilli mayo (when I get my @mountainyuzu I am totes gonna make some mayo!), then I chose a healthier option of Apple, smoked almond and grain salad. The salad is very fresh, although I couldn’t really taste the smokiness in the almond.
Hubby had a burger - a dirty burger (that’s the official name!). He loved it. I think he was really craving for some greasy fattiness of bacon 🥓 beef patty bacon 🥓 and beef patty and melted cheese with the onion rings on top. I had to force him to order the side salad otherwise this might be a heart attack waiting to happen. Hubby wasn’t overly impressed by the fries though, some were overcooked so it was on the too crispy side.
Hangry Piglet wanted to try the kids meal gnocchi and both of us hesitated… gnocchi can be very stodgey if not cooked well, but he was sure he wanted it. Turns out, that’s probably the best dish, we all loved the flavour and texture!
Hangry Dumpling’s kids chicken and chips meal was sadly the most disappointing. The chicken was very dry and the fries, like hubby’s one is on the overcooked side. He is usually a big eater and he only ate half of it.
Overall we do like the food and will be back as our neighbourhood go to, but either way after trying this pub I am more open to going to other pubs
Celebrated here with my friends for my birthday, The staff were very accommodating and we had a lovely table for the night perfectly suited to our booking 💫
Food is generous, and the blue haired waitress deserves a raise!
Had one friend in literal tears over the parma being the best one he's ever eaten.
I think he has not recovered from parma withdrawal
Anywho, definitely a good place for a feed 👍
This pub was fantastic. Went here on a quiet Tuesday night, and everything was perfect. The staff were lovely. The drinks were good. The food was so much better than standard pub fare. Had one of the best steaks of my life, served with a very generous portion of chips and a tasty side lettuce thing. The halloumi starter was also delicious!
My Friend and I had a joint 21st party here recently and were shocked at how easy it was to organise events with! We had never done anything like this before and the management staff were super helpful with their suggestions and running of the night. We were able to just get drunk and enjoy the night while letting them run it which was just great. Would highly recommend to people looking for a venue for an event in this great location.
Get the haloumi. It's the best I've ever had. Came with little watermelon squares and nuts. Also fried on this crunchy batter.
Steaks are cooked as requested and the Parma is huge.
Dessert selection is all but one... Sticky date pudding, but it's delicious.
Espresso Martini also highly recommended
