Take me back to the days when we could enjoy a leisurely afternoon drink at a local pub. The Temperance Hotel on Chapel Street is a cool corner hotel with a vibrant atmosphere, cold beer on tap and a nice wine selection. Popular with locals, it gets really busy here during happy hour and on weekends.
We didn't eat anything, but the menu looked pretty decent, with plenty of pub classics. Our drinks were enjoyed outside in the sunshine as we watched people go by. Service was excellent and it was a lovely and chilled spot to enjoy an afternoon drink.
Sitting out in the sun with a drink and this beautiful platter, live music in the background. What more could you ask for. Great drink deals and a really well constructed platter. Dips a stand out
An old worldly styled interior makes the Temperance Hotel a very cozy setting. Nice relaxing venue to catch a game of cricket (indoors) if the summer heat is too intense.

We arrived to the fireplace going which was a welcome delight to escape the cold Melbourne day! Food is your typical pub food, well priced and a decent size. I ordered the fish tacos - amazing! I could have those again! My friend had the mushroom pizza - so so good. We shared the croquettes but they lacked seasoning, easy to fix though!
Wonderful food great environment and the loveliest waitress Ash! We had a great night because of her and had so much fun. Drinks and food are exceptional!
Temperance Hotel is in South Yarra and they had some amazing deals. But lately most of the Southside has been really quiet. The shops here are struggling and some of the restaurants here are the same. Bar where the drinks are being poured. But the Temperance has had many people coming back and many functions going on. In fact their bar is always busy and the bartenders are always smiling. They never are pretentious. When the new guys don't know something they always ask. People are happy to ask the bartenders questions about the wine and beer and they should.
Overall the food was not very outstanding, but the price is fare for what we paid for. Service was quite nice and friendly. Big indoor area and spacious seating, great for big group of people.
We headed to Temperance for a birthday which was conveniently reachable my public transport post work. It’s on the nicer scale of pubs and the menu covers classics like parmas and pizzas items but also some interesting dishes with an international influence like tandoori prawns skewers and steamed bao buns. My friend was also pleased to see variety of salads (I was going to town on calories that day).
Many in the group took up the $15 steak and pot offer and they have such deals every weeknight which makes for a cheap meal. I really enjoyed the food and modern fit out of the space. It had quite a summery vibe and I can see how it would be the perfect location for a lazy Sunday session. Good find
Love this place! A huge group of us came for drinks on a Saturday night and all had a brilliant time.
The drinks were reasonably priced and the food looked amazing even though I didn't have any myself. Staff were friendly and really quick to clean up and take care of people.
Smoking area is big and well kept and the DJ was brilliant!
Stopped in here on my way to an appt - SO glad I did! Beautiful interior, very cosy with a warm fire. Very modern/industrial fit out... very cool. Food was beautiful, service was fantastic. Definitely coming back :)
Wow what can I say.
Pub food at it's best
Beef pie with mash n peas. That beef was succulent, spectacular and great. Totally made my Sunday arvo. Wow
Chicken burger was great.
Ambience. Very laid back, kinda warm and eclectic.
Staff. Friendly, great communicators and really fab ambassadors
Price. Very fair.
Loos. Not bad at all
So.. I have reviewed a lot. That's the best Pie I have had in years
Great pub and my favourite go to along Chapel st. Outdoor seating is mint as is indoor and the garden bar, plenty of space. Generous happy hour too (4-7 Monday to Friday). I ate the barramundi and was impressed with the quality of food. My partner had the burger and loved it.
Great work temperance hotel. I wasn't pleasantly surprised, or surprised in any way - actually I didn't think much at all what the temperance hotel should be, as I had never been, or at least cant remember having gone, unless I had been before the renovations which I'm guessing were a few years ago,but which, to their credit, dont seem distant even if they were a few years old, owing I guess to the odd treatment of the walls in the male toilet which I reckon is pretty timeless. Anyway I had a good time cheers
Friendly staff and nice food! Great deal with monday&wednesday steak special and with the 4-7pm happy hour deal! Happy deal happy tummy!
Nice food and great Dj's on the weekend. I need to check out some of the live music on a Sunday one of these days...
We had dinner and booked up stairs venue - food was great - staff was great.Would go there again.
It's an old favourite. Good for people and car watching and a cold beer. Our dog loves sitting udder the table snapping up any morsels that fall from our plates. The fried cauliflower... although not really healthy was a fabulous snack to share. Yum!!!!
Came here for the bottomless Mexican 6-8pm selected days. Margs, beer and house wines on menu. Food was plenty and they catered for my diatary requirements. Only fault was that no one came to check on us during the 2 hour.
