We went to this place for a dinner on Wednesday just because it was close by but it ended up being quite a nice night. They had a live band playing. A nice rooftop bar with a great view. Very friendly staff and good service. And the food was pretty good pub food. We had the porter house steak and the grilled baramundi , both were delicious.

Choice bro!!! Best New Zealand pub around. Love the free pool on Thursday nights. Wanna buy me a beer? I'll be the one owning the table 😜 haha.

This place is Moray St in South Melbourne just one block away from Clarendon st. The place is hidden which means that not many bloggers know about it. I didn't find out about this until one of the Crosbie crew members invited me to their Parma/pub night. Apparently this happens once a month.The place is run by the Kiwis and they do a good selection of wines and imported beers. But seeing as I might be having beer tomorrow night and a burger I thought I might like to keep it low for a while.

Thursday night is $15 steak night and wow what  a deal. Steak is apparently 250g but ours looked bigger. Well cooked, chips were crispy and hot, salad was fine, mushroom gravy had a great strong flavour. Relaxed ambience, definitely a pub where all are welcome. I had a look at the menu, they have a variety of deals Mon-Thurs but even if you don't order the deal everything is very moderately priced. There are so many pubs in South Melbourne, but this one has a particularly welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and judging from the steak meal, the food is great. Recommended.

Of all the parmas on our “To Try” list, I think the Maori Chief has been there the longest, so long I have forgotten how it got there in the first place – part of me thinks it made it there after a Facebook poll asking for suggestions for pubs with good beer gardens, but who knows. Most importantly last night we loaded up the Parma bus and headed to South Melbourne’s Maori Chief Hotel.

Not surprisingly, there was an impressive turn-out of patrons with the outdoor dining area resembling the internet sensation – the Harlem Shake – as it became a fight to secure a table (even without the rugby on!).

The Chief he is! A great local pub, nothing fancy just a welcome smile, a cold beer and a damn good $15 Steak night! The front bar is a decent space with a pool table and Wednesday nights they’ll even get a band in for Parma nights. Out back there are plenty of tables to sit back and enjoy a catch up with friends and when it warms up there is a rooftop apparently – will have to check that out!! On a cold, drizzly Thursday night we drop in for our first visit and we are all starving! The menu is simple, good honest food – squid, spring rolls, sliders for entrees and mains are all the favourites: burger, Parmas, steak sandwich, bangers and mash and plenty more to satisfy. We share the spring rolls and the garlic bread. It looks like it’s just the two people running the bar and the kitchen and they are doing a great job. The spring rolls are really nice. No grease, appear homemade and thoroughly delicious. Garlic bread is suitably aromatic, warm and buttery – perfect! With most entrees less than $14 and generous you can feed the family no probs. So steak night makes life easy, medium rare, porterhouse, chips or veg? Sauce is a couple of bucks extra and the result? Totally worth the money! The steak was beautifully cooked, pink and juicy. Chippies great, salad gorgeous and that sauce? Oh I could dive in it was soooo good! Steak night rocks and there is still dessert to be enjoyed, pub classics tonight are blueberry cheesecake and pancakes! How good is that?! Too cute with scoops of beautiful ice cream, a wedge of rich, creamy cheesecake and cream…. decadently delicious. Old school pancakes, ice cream and cream…. it’s a good job we have the boys there to finish up all these lovely desserts!! Maori is a top spot for a pub dinner and we’ll be back for that steak next week… and the week after!!

Brilliant service and food with a smile!. I love this place, we eat here every Thursday for the excellent $15 steak night, but try not to miss the Wednesday parma night. We always take guests there as it never fails to impress! Andy the bar manager is the perfect host. With a deceptive exterior, it is a surprising welcome inside with wood panelling and a cosy fireplace in winter, but the spring and summer months must be spent upstairs on the rooftop area. Great food, service and ambiance... A proper pub with no pokies!!!! What else could u want!!!!

I had an Aussie Parma it was delicious. I loved that it had ham and bacon on it. The chips were really good too. I'll definitely be going back.

They show Super Rugby. That's a big plus in this AFL crazy state, and it may be enough to get me back. The beer... A few choices including some NZ options, which is nice. The food... The second round of sausage rolls (not the vegetarian ones) was great!

Best pub in South Melbourne. Controversial, but I'm a big fan. Here me out. South Melbourne is full of pubs that just look nice. Fancy wallpaper and menus with puns instead of food names. But what's a fancy looking pub if the food is horrible, the beers on tap are generic, and the service is non existent? The Maori doesn't try to look like the pubs it's competing with. It's just doing its own thing and it's doing it well. Good beer on tap and good pub food on the menu. I wouldn't take a date here, but it's far better than the overpriced, over designed pubs that try harder than I did in high school. Maori isn't trying to impress you, which ironically is what impresses me.

Good food and selection of beers, with friendly staff. A "proper" pub. Supportive of local and emerging musicians as well as catering for patrons who just want to play pool, watch sports or have a beer and chat.

The parmas here are super tasty, and the craft beer options are basic but good. Loses a star because it's a pretty basic pub in terms of ambience, but it's fine for Friday pub lunch and the service is mostly pretty good, and did comes out mostly pretty quickly. Their group dining service could be improved, though.
