Brewery
•South Melbourne’s go-to bar and steak house. With a menu boasting quality cuts sourced from the local butcher, the flavours are bold with Greek and South American influence. Housed in a repurposed mechanics garage, Pirate Life delivers quality dishes from the open-fire kitchen, fresh beers, belter wine and cocktails and a truly warm hospitality experience.




Recently went back to Pirate Life for their Sunday roast and it was great! Highly recommended for large groups as the tables can comfortably host bigger parties. The ambience is cool and relaxed, making it a great spot to hang out. The meats were perfectly done, and the flatbreads are a must-order - that wood-fired, smoky flavour is absolutely spot on. Would happily come back again!
Had the roast pork belly on the Sunday roast menu, and enjoyed the gravy and flavours. However, I found the dish wasn't served as hot as I'd liked and since the gravy was spread thin on the base of the plate, it got cold very quickly. I would suggest serving the gravy separately on the side so that it can stay warm longer.
The beers are great but DON’T sleep on the wines. Their wine list is actually incredible. And the steak?! Holy moly, wow. Booze, tick. Food, tick. Service, extra tick. Genuinely blown away by Pirate Life. Recommend!
Lovely staff. The guy who showed us to our table was absolutely hilarious. We rocked up on steak night and the vibes were vibing. Everything we ordered was spot on: the flatbread, the octopus, and of course the steak and frites. Such a great night all around!
Pirate Life South Melbourne is an absolute must-visit! The service is exceptional, with incredibly friendly staff who make you feel right at home. And the food? Simply divine. The tender, succulent steak was perfect, and the amazing sides were equally delicious. Seriously, if you're looking for fantastic food, drinks and outstanding hospitality, you need to check this place out. Highly recommended!
