I had a pre dinner drink here and the pub was really busy. It’s fringe festival time.
This is a nice pub on Errol Street, the range of beers was good.
The service was really friendly and polite and I ordered an O’Briens Brown Ale. This is a gluten free beer and for $10 a pint it was really good value. And it was popular too.
I didn’t realise that it was in special until I sat down because I always try to buy an independent beer/brewer wherever possible.
And they sell my favourite cider, Coldstream which is great.
I was going out for dinner which was a pity as someone is about to tuck into a parma and it looks delicious. Mmnn hahaha
I’ll be back!
Came here for dinner on a Saturday night after walking past & deciding to give the place a go. The decor isn’t as ‘pretty’ as the pictures show on here, but nevertheless felt like like a typical pig. The waiter that served us was friendly and funny & very prompt, took all our orders & drinks were bought out to us quickly. We all opted for different meals & were all pleasantly surprised at how tasty they were, all finished, few more drinks and were on our way. It was surprisingly quiet for dinner though. Only us & three other people.

Tradition pub vibe with modern but relaxing rest twist. Understated from outside but inside the bar and lounge area are rather charming. Greeted and served by two very friendly staff.
The restaurant area was quiet but very clean and inviting. We ordered chicken parma's and a steak. Everything was served rather quickly and was very tasty.
Only criticism is that the salad had too much dressing which made it somewhat soggy. Great value for money and The Courthouse Hotel is in the Entertainment Book so we enjoyed a 25% discount.
-good take on pub classics .... Cathy and I like this joint as it has good takes on pub classics. It has a relaxed atmosphere that reminds us our favourite pub back in Adelaide.

Needless to say, I have returned quite regularly, sometimes sitting in the bar and sometimes in the adjacent room, which is less atmospheric but more roomy.

Next was the Hargreaves Hill Brewery Admiral Nelson IPA teamed with Terrine of Pheasant, Cumquat, Port, and Smoked Game Chips by The Courthouse in North Melbourne.
The chips were fantastic. When I think of great beer battered chips these are what I picture. Perfectly crunchy on the outside giving way to velvety soft pillows of potato inside. Well seasoned, Heaps of them, served beside the parma – A tick in almost every box, any sort of dipping sauce would have made these a 10/10.

the classical panna cotta.
The duck and chorizo croquets were great, crunchy, light and delicately flavoured.
It's pretty much a match made in heaven: I know that when I've had a bit too much beer to drink, I start to crave cheese pretty badly. So when I read about North Melbourne's Court House Hotel having some sort of beer and cheese matching...
An old style pub in North Melbourne with a strange dining area for food. The food is typical pub style, large and heavy. My vegetarian burrito was very flavoursome and tasty. We also attended the function room upstairs for a play, the space was cosy and well-air-conditioned on a very hot summer day!
Supremely friendly and helpful staff. It's worth booking the upstairs room for a function and coming early for dinner. Meals are competitively priced and they cater well for dietary requirements (there is even a gluten free beer on tap). It's generally pretty easy to get a park nearby on weekends.
Fine. Okish food. Nothing crazy awesome. Great beer. Good specials.
Great vibe, friendly staff and the food was great. It's very cozy on a winter's night.
very good menu with lots of interesting choices
There are two eating areas, the front bar and the restaurant.
The bar has bar stools and benches whereas the restaurant is proper tables and chairs. Service is very polite and the wine list quite extensive.
Prices are moderate for this area of North Melbourne.
My only slight grumble (and this might just be me) is that on weeknights the restaurant can be very quiet (as opposed to weekends) which make sthe dining experience a little "lonely"
