Absolutely loved this pub! Stumbled in on a weekday and was blown away by their incredible specials - every pizza on the menu was just $10, and the one we got was genuinely delicious. Even better, they had an April special with $10 pints, making it the ultimate combo for a chill late afternoon. The vibe was relaxed, staff super friendly, and the value? Unreal. Will 100% be back!

I went to The Penny Black last Friday for a gig, and I have to say, it was absolutely fantastic! The venue itself is such a cool spot – intimate, welcoming, and full of energy. The vibe there is unmatched, and you can tell it’s a place that really knows how to host a great show. One thing I really appreciated is how inclusive and LGBTQIA-friendly the venue is. It’s a space where everyone feels comfortable, and that kind of environment makes a huge difference when you're out enjoying live music. The staff was also amazing – friendly, attentive, and really made sure everyone was having a good time. Overall, I had an awesome experience at The Penny Black. If you’re looking for a great venue with fantastic music and a welcoming atmosphere, definitely check it out. I can’t wait to go back!

Great large venue. 3 main sections - front of house, back room & beer garden further out back. Unsure if there are other toilets, but lots of stairs to get to main toilets, so not ideal if you have a disability. Not a huge selection of wines at the bar. No Riesling & No Moscato. Love that there’s live music to support local acts. Loved getting to see @demie.music playing originals & a few covers. Food available at very reasonable prices, averaging $20,

Superb friendly service and atmosphere. With an amazing indoor open fire, live music, concert stage, centre room and outdoor area. Jason the manager was very helpful and friendly keeping the open fire burning. The food was delicious and substantial and the drinks are the best value in Melbourne
