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

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,

The sun was out and these guys had Thursday night $25 steak night and a beer garden, so we thought we'd give it a go. We certainly weren't disappointed! The steak was a little fatty on the ends but besides that it was super tender, cooked well and came with a very generous serving of either chips & salad or veggies & mash and your choice of sauce. We also timed it with their very generous happy hour (5-7pm) which was $10 selected pints, $8 house wines and $12 selected cocktails. The staff were friendly and the venue had a cool vibe, with plenty of different places to sit.

I just wanted to give the Penny Black a nod. Just wanted to get out of the weather and get something to drink and eat. The food was really good for pub food. But the staff were golden. They did their jobs politely and with good humor and made us very welcome. Go there get 3 snacks for $39 buy a pint and tell me it's not a good spot. Thanks for looking after us
