Had the best time celebrating my husbands 40th on Saturday night. Booked the dining room out for 40 people for a private function which will be a night to remember for many years to come. We had the share menu and everything was delicious, couldn’t fault any of it. The girls serving us couldn’t do enough for us and RT did a wonderful job organising the event for us. We all partied into the night out on the dance floor after our function was over. Would highly recommend booking a private function at this venue. Thank you to all of the staff who made our night so fantastic!!
This has been my second time to the Precinct for a meal before concerts at Rod Laver. I highly recommend the $15 steak night on Tuesdays. Great meal and service. I'll be back again.
Excellent never had a bad meal here ��� always fresh, plenty to choose from the menu. Took my 2 fussy boys and they weren’t disappointed infact were asking when we were going back thanks
Great pub food. Although I live intestate, I'll be back. I would recommend this pub to anyone.
I was very impressed..
Exceptional food omg it was so delish ..
The service was top class ...
A buzzing place awesome atmosphere
Great Inner City Pub
Always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere at the Precinct. The service is great, the food is excellent; disappointing there’s no Peroni on tap any longer!
Just love this place, great atmosphere, great food & lovely staff.
An awesome venue for eating out, watching sport, functions or a night out.
On our most recent visit here we stopped in to get some lunch before heading to the cricket and we had a great time. The outdoor area was bright and open with sport on the TV’s and a really pleasant atmosphere.
We ordered lunch and some drinks and I was super happy to see a couple of great vegan options! (Not just the regular bowl of chips!) We went with a Quinoa and Vegetable Salad and the Cauliflower Stirfry with hokkien noodles and both were delicious!
Went out for dinner on a Fridat night and ordered the parmas. Large portion sizes, really tasty and quick service. Bonus points for chips not under parma!
We have been here a few times now before the football. Food is always nice but it is a little pricey. Recommend the Singapore Noodles. Wait staff friendly and courteous. Coffee was good too.
A very big venue with plenty of seating inside and outdoors. We ordered a Parma for $15 which came with chips and salad. We thought this was pretty good value and would order this dish again. If you enjoy pub food, you will enjoy this place. Good spot for a casual afternoon drink and a bite to eat.
Cool outdoor area. Monday-Friday $15 lunches and a drink. Definitely worth checking out if you work in the area. I have been a bunch of times, always good value for money
the precinct has been a favourite bar of mine for a long time. also killer tunes (pub classics like jesses girl and blink 182 etc) though i had never had the food.
Based on the very limited meals we had the food was top notch. we got chips which were nice and crunchy and had great flavor. The fried chicken ribs were amazing. only fault is i would have put less sauce but everyone got a different opinion of that.
ill have to come again to try some mains and update my review.
Pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here - somewhat overpriced but the pumpkin gnocchi was really quite delicious. Otherwise a typical pub in terms of drinks and atmosphere (though my sister loves the $15 espresso martinis on tap!)
Came here before a concert, the service was friendly and quick. Sat in the private dining area it was so nice and relaxing, didn't feel like I was in a pub! I ordered a chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce, chips & salad, it was all really really good! Highly recommend, and I'm sure I'll be back with some footy friends.
Great food and vegetarian options available!!!! Staff are great and calamari is yummmmm! Different options for where to eat with their new outdoor area stunning!
Good Food, Good Mood
+3.5
Big sports bar which is convenient for after work or pre/post game drinks. Their biggest glasses are schooners and they don't do jugs (of beer) which can be annoying for groups. They do have delicious espresso martinis on tap though 👍🏼👍🏼
I've only ever tried the burger and Parma here so can't comment too much on the food, it's what you'd expect for a pub meal. Service is always lovely and the outdoor area has massive TV screens and heaters so perfect for Melbourne's cold weather.
I was pleasantly surprised recently at the precinct on a Tuesday night. Good service. Great atmosphere and $15 steaks. Life doesn't get any better than this..... Unless it's Wednesday night for $15 parnas.
Busy Place! but nice in the private dining room for a pre concert meal. Quick service and friendly staff. Enjoyed a burger (had the same last time - was good).
I was here the other night. I had great service and an awesome vibe. I loved the new layout. Will defs be back for a drink in the courtyard.
Great staff and fantastic food with excellent midweek specials. Callum (Chaos) is my favorite - mad dog legend behind the bar. Totally different environment since the refirb and a great place to chew the fat after an intense battle at the G - footy or cricket!
Food and service was fantastic in the private dining room! Highly recommend this restaurant for a pre or post football feed! Lots of choice on the menu to accommodate everyone and drinks were reasonable priced.
Came for pre-concert dinner and drinks on a busy Saturday night (the rugby was showing and very loud). My southern fried chicken burger was massive and to die for, served in a cute basket with chips. Overall I was really happy with my meal and the service.
Amazing meal! We had the burgers. They were to die for 😍 Awesome atmosphere on a Saturday night too. Will definitely come back again. The only downfall was the afl was only on one to with the rugby on the rest!
We were on our way to the MCG and stopped in for a few beers. Extremely pleasant staff, large outdoor courtyard with a covered roof; but enough gaps to let you legally smoke, and a great steak sandwich. (Sorry, but I refuse to photograph my food). The prices are good for Richmond, too.
Recommended.
Great venue to watch ufc having beers and giggle. Wont be coming back for a short time though cos im hungry and the burgers are big if you know what im saying.
Previously owned by the Darcy family, The Precinct Hotel, in Richmond has recently changed hands. As a result, the venue is going through a makeover - and it's only just the beginning. To start, the courtyard has been revamped to include an impressive addition of a 2.5 metre screen and we hear there are some impressive plans scheduled for next year.
Great service from the staff. But by far the best service was from Melissa and Brendan. Would come back again just because of their manners.
I walked out of the Precinct happy. After arriving with very low expectations and in a horrible mood due to Jackman-related traffic issues they must have done something right to turn it around. The Precinct parma isn’t perfect, but its a good, honest pub meal thats worth a crack if you find yourself in the area – definitely worth keeping in mind if you’re after a feed after the Footy/Cricket/Hugh Jackman performance. If they put a tad more love into the sides it’d be a more well rounded meal, but they’ve done well where its important.
I had been Googling more diverse restaurants throughout the week, but sometimes you just need a comforting pub meal in front of a cosy fire and big TV. The menu included plenty of classics parmas, steaks and burgers, but as you probably know by now, it’s very difficult for me to go past pork belly. Ever.
Game time. Great game , great ambience, great burger and the mrs loved the prawns ! Love the changes will definitely be back
I was amazed at how fabulous the food was here! We ate in the dining room and it was really delicious! Well exceeded my expectations. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night or when the football is on you have to ignore all the bogans but the food is actually, surprisingly very very good! Just make sure you book so that you sit in the nice dining area.
The patty was big and juicy but obviously processed. I would liken it to Russell Crowe's performance in the Les Miserables movie - forgettable. What was the casting manager thinking when he chose Russell Crowe for that part? Hasn't he heard of the insult to the music industry that is Russell's band - Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt (no, that name is not a joke).
Great food and service - I'm surprised to read the bad reviews cos we went a couple of days ago for lunch and the calamari was the best I've ever had and the chilli prawn linguini was fantastic. My friends enjoyed their meals too. The staff were really nice so our experience was a good one! The decor is pretty bland but it is a nightclub so handy having concrete you can hose out I spose and it doesn't stink!!!
I have dined here & popped in for a drink many times. My experience, on each occasion, has been above average in terms of service & the standard of food & in comparison to all local venues.
Great location for AAMI Park and MCG events. Good food. Bar prices a bit expensive but a cool place.
Awesome atmosphere. We went to the precinct in the afternoon for a late lunch and didn't leave until 1am-great atmosphere and crowd
Good dinner vibe. Went to the Precnct before a concert at Rod laver and have to say I was impressed with the venue and the food. I had a burger which came out pretty quickly considering how busy the joint was. I really enjoyed the food as did my friends. Great cold beer on tap to. Overall a enjoyable experience.
Food was very good. Pleasantly surprised. Quality was there, a little pricey for a "pub meal" but that's ok when the food is good.
I had organize Father's Day .... I had organize Father's Day
Lunch for my father and family and it was the best experience. Bit shock to see the reviews of this venue but we had the best experience. The food was amazing and quick. I had the delicious and amazing chicken burger (highly recommended) Perhaps best burger in town so far. Dad had the rib eye which was cooked to perfection. Ps don't forget to try their Singapore noodles. Thumbs up
Tasty food, good portions, quick service on a Saturday around 2-3pm.
Thumbs up!. Great night out and the beer garden is fantastic! Not cheap but still a good night out.
Expensive for what it is but really nice food! Just hard to find table space if you order a meal. Do good share plates too.
Amazing Singapore noodles and I want the recipe 😍 Parma was excellent as well. Our fav place to go before the footy😍
A pretty good hotel at Richmond and very popular on football game days.
The food staff are very helpful and always trying.
The bars staff are slow not sure why it’s seems to be their lack of effort to be quickly serving customers. We are sure they can improve if this with a little training and encouragement by Management. Just check the cctv to see what’s going on. Good luck 🤞🏾
The Precinct is such a great pub - awesome food that is consistent in quality, friendly and welcoming staff, and a really cool setup with lots of screens for sport. I have been here numerous times and the atmosphere is always so fun. Favourite pub by far in Melbourne!
Very impressed with security. At the door was greeted by Dylan (security #16) he was very friendly and polite to both me my friends and from what I saw the people infront of us also. There was quite a line but with good music, vibes and polite security at the end of the line made the wait well worth it!
Great pub. Food was awsome, tasty and awsome portion size. Great TV screens to watch sports and staff excellent.
Stop in for a really good meal and atmosphere. Outdoor deck area is a top space..
Had to organise my work Christmas party and I picked this venue, the person I spoke to (Chris) was very accommodating and easy to work with. Had a group of 18 and they were happy to oblige, and didn’t require a deposit which sealed the deal. Full marks for customer service.
The dinner was a hit and miss depending on what we ordered; my colleagues raved about the fish tacos, however my friend and I had the porterhouse steak and while we requested medium rare, it was more medium which was disappointing.
The venue is great; plenty of space, big tv’s that was showing the cricket. Would definitely consider having another work function here.
