Love visiting the Duke, a great atmosphere especially for private events and in springtime! A little overpriced but good food. Will visit again!
Lovely little rooftop bar. Due to covid, things had to be done a little differently, such as booking ahead, leaving our contact details at the door, separate booths and contactless ordering of food and drinks. The ambience is intimate yet fun, and the food was so far so good. I ordered a calamari side which came with ranch dressing. I definitely want to come back to try more food, the parma was huge and looked amazing!
Side note, the service was impeccable. Even though social distancing was the order of the day, the staff were still friendly and attentive. One waitress even offered to take photos for us and sent them to our phones directly from her. She went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our time there, and that little touch is why I'm giving five stars without having tried most of the menu yet.
I used to come to the Duke on a Friday for after work drinks, I enjoyed it back then and I enjoyed my visit here recently too.
The bar has different levels, we were seating at the top bar which was nice and comfortable.
A great selection of tap beer, my beer went down a treat being on such a hot day. I ordered the Duke cheeseburger which was really tasty! I loved everything about this burger and fries were very nice too.
A great spot to come for either a bite or drink, we had such a lovely time.
Enormous parma good to fit 3 people! Other foods are ok. Great variety of craft beers and a nice rooftop bar to chillout and have a chat with colleagues.
Fab rooftop bar in the city. Fun vibes, good music, delicious bar snacks and drinks. Lasagne croquettes !!!!! Get in my belly. We’ve had lots of good times here... always good for a few drinks, snacks and then a little boogie on the dance floor.
We called into the Duke last night for a few drinks ahead of seeing a concert at the Forum. It was packed but we found a table upstairs in the wine bar area which is a much nicer spot than downstairs anyway. G&T’s were strong and there was a great selection of gin to boot. I’ve eaten here before and enjoyed the food but have previously found the service a little clunky with timings. That was over a year ago so thing may have improved.
A warm and friendly pub, in a great corner location in the CBD, The Duke is a good spot for a few after work drinks, or a catch up with friends. It has a nice fitout, with large open spaces and comfortable seating. We never have had a problem being served, and it's often quite busy; so the staff are great.
The dining room also looks good, but we've only ever been here for drinks. The menu does sound delicious though, so we will have to come back to try the food. From my experience, the Duke is a cool spot for some drinks with friends, and we've always enjoyed our time here.
A place with great atmosphere and perfect to hang with friends after work. I've only ever ordered drinks from this place and they were all good so five stars for me. I usually order a lemon lime bitters as I don't drink.
Rooftop bar staff are super friendly, made sure I would enjoy my drink and catered to my needs to ensure a pleasant wine experience.
Food was good.
Been here a bunch of times over the years. The last time I went wasn’t long ago but I’m currently not drinking because I need a break from alcohol for a while. so far done 3 months and not sure how long I’ll keep going. Great place to just like chill and chat with friends and the food is nice too.
First time visiting this place. The decor inside is very nice and interesting to look at. It doesn't have that dirty old beer pub smell which was really nice for a change. The premises and toilets were clean. There are three levels, which at first we found a bit confusing of where we were meant to be going to eat. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. My favourite was the Halloumi dish, amazing!! I also had the gnocchi which was good and chicken pieces which were moist and full of flavour. We were able to order from our table which was nice not to have to get up and figure out who and how to split the bill. Food came out pretty quickly which was good. I don't drink, but had a lemon lime bitters which was on point. My friends enjoyed the alcohol a lot!!
Most of the staff were really nice, one person I am hoping was just having a rough night!
Nice British style pub. Prices are reasonable and the food quality was decent too! Service is pretty quick even at busy times.
A totally Aussie laid back atmosphere, replete with sports channels and great food to accompany. A must visit for a leisurely few hours, when in Melbourne.
Went to Duke for dinner last night. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, clean premises.
We had the classic parmi, chicken strips and the Haloumi. The food was excellent, chicken strips were tender, the parmi was fantastic and the haloumi was full of flavour. Could not recommend the haloumi any higher.
Great location and a nice lil hideaway spot to meet friends.
A great atmosphere; busy and vibrant. The footy was on the big screens in the bistro, so catered for all. Drinks and meals were a little pricey for a pub but they were good. One was a little cold for Karen though 😜 We were a table of 10 and ordered through the Mr Yum app, but table service was offered too. Ricardo and Maggie were fabulous and very attentive. Ricardo brought out our birthday celebration at just the right time and they provided cakes/spoons which was great. I booked the table online which was easy. I have been here a couple of times before (for different events) and it’s always great. The rooftop is beautiful. I highly recommend The Duke.
The food was great - easy to order , the staff were friendly and accommodating. Great vegan options is always a plus 🤩
There aren't many places in the CBD where I feel confident taking the kids for dinner but this one was a winner. Good kids menu, good grown-up menu, great variety of drinks. Lots of space split across multiple levels. Good ambient noise. Service was quick and responsive.
