The Sunday roast is amazing! We visited for lunch on a Sunday specifically to try it and ordered the roast pork belly. The meat was incredibly tender, full of flavour, and all of the sides were cooked perfectly. I’d also highly recommend the flatbread with garlic and tomato—it was absolutely delicious. The chips were perfectly cooked as well. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and friendly, and the restaurant had a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back.
All of the dishes were cooked perfectly! 250g O'Connor rump with shoe fries...so good I had to come back to try the deliciously moist beef fat flatbread in a woodfire oven, and toastie smore dessert! Well done to the chef's!!!
Me and my partner love pirate life. Whether it’s for casual drinks or a meal it works for every occasion. Every time the service is impeccable, the staff are nice and attentive. Our favourite night is Thursday steak day, followed closely by free pot (brewers shout) Wednesdays. We’ve tried a few different steak nights around South Melbourne and this is my favourite one for $25 it’s such good quality! I need to try more of their meals but their snacks are also delicious.
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!
sunday roast is so good at such a good value. service is amazing as well. west coast ipa so clean and hoppy , wish pirate life was back in singapore again.
