The husbands favourite watering hole, weeknight dinner spot, sports watching go-to, friends meeting place… he would move in if he could. The great thing about Bridies is you’re always guaranteed good food, drinks specials, friendly staff, a bit of sport, a lot of music. Added bonus - its good for summer or winter. They have a lovely outside area for warmer days and lots of space inside to stay warm in winter.
This was the place we visited on my first day in Melbourne, when the cold took me by absolutely shock .. the beef and Guinness pie was just what I needed . It was divine ! Must have
Coming back to Bridie O’Reilly’s brings back many fond memories from 2011! There is no better way to watch cricket (other than the box seat in the stadium) than to watch it on the big screen at Bridie O’Reilly’s. The staff are super friendly too - soda water on the house to quench your summer thirst.
A cosy venue to have a beer at Happy Hour rates. I've walked past this place so many times and never stopped. So glad I was able to stop for a beer on this occassion.
Really love this place, especially when the warm weather kicks in. The atmosphere is great, the staff are really friendly, and the outdoor area at the front is great to get a little tan whilst sinking beers and people watching in the sun. Food has been great every time I've been. Highly recommend if you're strolling through the area on a nice summers day - you'll be looked after without being hassled every 5 minutes. The only piece of negative would be that the pricing for food is a liiiiiittle steep, however it didn't bother us too much! Will be back ☺️
Went for a pre dinner drink last night. They had a reasonable selection of beers. I had a pint of white rabbit dark ale which was perfect!
The pub has booths, a BIG bar, an cool outdoor area, too cool in winter for me haha
It wasn't cheap for a pint but the service was really friendly which helps. It's an easy place to find which is good. I'd go back but ideally I'd prefer to go to a little bar.

Standard Irish pub, we were there for pre dinner drinks and whilst there was a crowd it wasn't packed or rowdy (don't know if that will remain the same for the later in the evening). Comfy booths along one side of the pub which we were seated in and there is a nice front beer garden which had heating and did look quite cosy. Sports enthusiasts were there too as they had the footy showing on screens. Great wine list, just not a fan of the white line on the glass lol but hey we are in a pub!
Casual typical Irish pub with sports playing on the TVs. The beef and Guinness pie was tasty and great with only pastry on the top. The "Crispy pork belly" was not crispy unfortunately.
I've never eaten here but generally come for football, afl etc etc can't be knocked for their large and abundant screens which makes it pretty easy to get a view of your team! Pints of Guinness aren't bad either and the staff are friendly enough.
Bridie O'Reily's is a great spot for late night drinks and dancing. We only had drinks here on Saturday night. The pub was busy with people ordering drinks, they either sat outside, inside near the pub watching sport on the TV's or upstairs dancing. The drink prices were standard, they had a large variety of spirits and beers on tap, however the best thing about the pub is the live music upstairs it was fabulous. We found the staff friendly and security guards at every levels with 3 at the door.
Great service and atmosphere. My partner was stoked that they had the footy on the big screen. Our food and drinks were great. Just watch your step near the bar, there is some uneven and damaged sections.
Great atmosphere, fantastic lunch and a great day on St Patrick's Day. Bookings is essential.
Booked ahead and our table ended up being beside the open fire which was amazing because it was so cold out, steak and Guinness pie was great, huge portion as well, staff were super friendly
Great pub to watch live sports at. Large outdoor beer garden and good specials. Definitely will be back
Top Irish Pub in middle of Chapel St. Not expensive. Good range of beer & bar food . Casual atmosphere with friendly staff. Sit out front in good weather & watch the passing parade or keep warm inside. Well recommended for a break after checking out all the interesting shops of Chapel St.& surrounds.
Love a good Irish pub. Relaxed atmosphere, good pub food and a great outside area.
