We had a long-awaited meal at a local favourite tonight, and they did not disappoint! The food was as tasty as always - if not better - and the adherence to social distancing was very comforting, especially as one of our party members was pregnant. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and very attentive without being over-bearing. A long time favourite and we will, of course, be back :) Thanks guys!!
Can’t get enough of this joint.
Best pub in Vic. Daylight second.
Pub grub,
Pub tab,
Pub pool.
Bottlo for the travellers.
Loving the bombers merch around the place too.
I wasn't expecting to stay as long as we did here, from my first impression it did look a little drab. Don't let that fool you though! Great staff behind the bar, nice refreshing cold beer, sports on various tv's scattered around the pub and a pool table... we had a ball.
There was a group of us including my partner, Tim.E & Barerabbit and their partners. There was a variety of different people in here which I liked a lot, including the obvious locals.
If you like a punt then there is a TAB section tucked away from the main drinking hole. All in all, a really nice pub.
The young ones (read: Timinmelbourne and Simmyeats.Melb, and their respective partners) went on a pub crawl after Italian Yum Cha but poor old me had an errand to run. At least my partner and I managed to hit the Rising Sun with them before calling it a day.
Cold refreshing beer (excuse the missing head in both pictures, two thirsty fellows took a sip before I remembered to take a picture) in a laidback old-fashioned pub. Horse racing and UFC on the screens kept us entertained, and so did the pool table.
The bar at the rooftop garden wasn’t open, despite it being a nice sunny day and a few punters enjoying the sun out there. Too hot perhaps?
I’m a fan of what this venue represents... basic and classic the downstairs of this pub hasn’t changed much in 20 odd years except with maybe the addition of more TV’s for sport and the occasional ufc fighting belt. Good old fashioned pub at the from. Tab at the side and. Dining area at the back. Upstairs is newer with a rooftop bar area.
Food is simple pub grub which I like and they have daily $17 meal specials which will often include a pot of Carlton.
I first discovered this pub when I first moved to Melbourne and joined a rather vocal storm supporters crowd. Great for sport.
Tonight though just some respite from the 35 degree heat and a couple of G&T’s to aid in the cooling down.
Called in here for a few drinks last night w my partner. This pub was packed, with some friendly characters.
We had some drinks and then hit the pool table. Overall we had a great time, w friendly staff and punters.
Unfortunately the rooftop bar wasn’t open when we were there, maybe because of the rain but that doesn’t matter ... I’ll go back!
Fresh beer, plenty of options and a good vibe. What else do you want in a local pub? Solid food options to enjot with mates and prices to match 👌💪
Great place with reasonable prices which is hard to find in this area. They have rooftop beer garden that not many people knows. Perfect for summer. Good food too! They have just renovated their kitchen. Best sticky date pudding i've ever had!
Have been to this pub on several occasions and found it a great place to grab a lunch meal before traveling down Swan st to the MCG for the footy.
Enjoyed a meal yesterday with 3 friends.
Both the eye fillets and porterhouse steaks were of good cuts, and cook exactly like we asked.
Chicken parma was a good size and one of the best my friend had eaten.
Chips were yummy, salad was a coleslaw which went ok with the steaks.
Good place for a typical pub meal without the hustle and bussle you get at the Richmond end of Swan st.
Good honest pub meals, always great specials as well. Parmas here are pretty spot on! Just a real locals pub.
Great classic pub. Parma may be the best in Richmond. And for only $20 + a pot on a Sunday!!
The chicken parmigiana, fries and salad that I ordered from here was fantastic. The staff were fantastic and very friendly
Legendary old school pub, pool tables, TAB and nice cold beer.
Great Sports bar and beer garden at the top. Has a retractable roof so really good for all seasons
Currently sitting in smokers at rising sun. They allow meat sticks onto the balc! Meat sticks. ON THÉ BALC!
Crazy night
Definitely will bring the kids back to this one
(Please put a heater in smokers tho)
A great pub. Only giving 4 stars though, as I don't think dogs should be allowed where people are eating.
Always enjoy the atmosphere and friendly staff. Our usual stop over prior to AFL and after.
Went for Thursday dinner after a three-year spell and enjoyed the food, wine, and friendly staff. Front-door lady asked me and my wife to QR-code check-in and show vax certificates. Then strangely, no-one (but for one other patron), wore the mandatory face-masks, including bar staff. Local culture?
