Local pub with a couple of park-style tables outside in front of the pub and huge beer garden at the back. Inside you have a stage for what we think live bands perform and there is also a small pool table. For the food we took on their offer of 3 appetizers for $45. The Buffalo wing had decent sauce, the popcorn cauliflower also not too bad. The best thing about it all is actually the generous portion. Pub appetizers tend to be small but these are truly great to share! Kids Margherita was a little disappointing as the base/dough was very thick and feels like an overkill after couple slices. Food - 6 Service - 7 Vibe - 8 Price - $$

The Penny Black is a great venue for a relaxing afternoon. They’ve got some great musical guests that play most nights of the week inside and the back garden area is really good for bigger groups of people. We had a very last minute birthday party with 15 or so people and they were able to accomodate us and were so gracious. Highly recommend.

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!

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
