Very cool venue and nice vibes🫶 love the live music so good!! There is a lot of tv if you want to watch the footie🏉 as well. And perfect to come after shopping as well to charge your energies again with nice food❤️ I had a butter smash very delicious with a Parma and salad. Was very yummy!! The chicken was so good! And I really enjoyed the sav Blanc wine from NZ✅ Definitely nice place to have a good time!! 🎉🎉🎉 Ps. They also have different specials offers during the week and also a pool table 🎱🎱🎱 They have specials for lunch and dinner. And they help me to cut the Parma due to a pain on my hand. That’s why looks a bit different. They bring me the food and wine very quick and I don’t have to wait much. And the staff is very kind and they look after you. 🩷⭐️🎉🫶✅

First - shout out to my man Chef Brad. What a hero & legend for putting on the carvery spread he did. Can’t be easy & I can imagine fraught with dangers in balancing the quantity and quality based on those who may or may not turn up. I hope he is treated well for this! $39 for a carvery is very well placed - as a fan of roasts (@sundayroastdaddy - I don’t muck around for my love of roasts!) I can healthily and honestly put this up in lights. Brad not only knows what he is doing, he makes it a pleasure to be served by him. Aside from the quality tasty Sunday roast treats, I love they have Guinness on tap & have an option to sit both inside or outside. I can’t imagine you’ll have the most kind or friendliest of patrons at the best of times - so you know these bar staff are well equipped to deal with such matters - though we’re very kind to us. I can recommend the sticky date pudding, too. Not silly-sweet and had a good serving amount for dessert. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a roast coma to embrace.

Recently organised an event at Melbourne Public Bar on a Friday night, and could not speak more highly of the experience from start to finish. The Functions Manager and team were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, and the set-up/bump-in on the day was seamless and well co-ordinated. The venue looked amazing with our orange-themed styling and decorations, creating such a vibrant atmosphere for the evening. Food (canapes) and beverages were great, service was attentive and professional, and everything ran smoothly all night. A huge thank you to the entire Melbourne Public Bar team for helping bring the event to life. Highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a special event or function in Melbourne!

We recently celebrated a family 21st birthday dinner at Melbourne Public, and the entire experience was outstanding. The birthday girl is in a wheelchair, and from the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make her feel special. She was welcomed with a complimentary drink of her choice, including cocktails, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was fantastic, and every member of our group thoroughly enjoyed their meal. As the evening became cooler, the staff happily found space for our large group inside without any fuss. To top it off, they surprised us with a round of complimentary shots! What really stood out was the exceptional customer service. The bar staff, manager, and even the security guard were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the celebration memorable. They even helped organise for the singer to perform Happy Birthday, which made the night extra special. The level of care, kindness, and hospitality we experienced was second to none. Thank you to the entire team for helping create such wonderful memories. We highly recommend Melbourne Public and will definitely be back!

Held a birthday party here recently with 20+ people. Everyone enjoyed their food, which all came out together, service at the bar was great, staff all very helpful, and Maryanne looked after us with professionalism, making sure all went smoothly. Will definitely return when in town and have no problem in recommending to others.
