Reviews for Moon Dog Wild West
Vincenzo Rossi
Went there to celebrate my daughters birthday. It's been over a year since she returned from living in Dallas, Texas, her husband and my Texan granddaughter. Now, a new mommy again, it was time to reminisce about the Texas Honky Tonks like Electric Cowboy and world famous Billy Bobs. Moon Dog is on a good thing, just let the teething problems solve themselves overtime and a good time is there to be enjoyed.

Fun vibe. A few drinks were unavailable. Super hot inside even with open windows, air conditioning would go a long way. Bull riding was fun though, and many people were dressed as cowpeople ðŸ¤

Came here for the first time and was super impressed with the renovation of the place. I have to come back and actually ride the bull. We played pool most of the day and found it strange that the pool tables weren't pay wave. Beers cold and tasty 😋

35+ degrees in Melbourne and inside feels even hotter. No fan, no AC across the venue except minimal fans near the dance floor. Surely you are in breach of OH&S for your staff. Do not bother coming here if it's warm or hot, unless you want some heat stroke to go with it. Photo is of the 'function room' we had for our celebration. No cooling in sight. The rooftop was the only relief with fresh air but still not cool

Popped in here for lunch to check the place out finally, been wanting to for a while seeing as we have been to America and love the Western theme. The venue did not disappoint, very impressive, and the Blues Brothers esque stage looked awesome. Would love to see some more western style decor on the walls, but the waiter did say the bosses do have that In mind. The mechanical bull in the centre of the room is also a perfect addition. We were the first people in for lunch on a Friday, but more people soon filtered in. As for the food, everything was pretty good but we were disappointed with one thing that I will mention shortly. I had the beef burger with an extra patty and cheese for a challenge. Was very nice, meat was good and juicy. My partner had the buffalo chicken burger, also very nice. Chicken parma was also nice and juicy and a decent size. The only thing that dissapointed us was the 'Pie' of the day, not because of the flavour, it was lovely and moist. The thing that disappointed us was that it wasn't an American style pie, it was plain and simply, a cake. We were very keen to try this but ended up being caught in a little false advertising. For anyone that doesn't know a pie in america is: a dessert consisting of a filling (as of fruit or custard) in a pastry shell or topped with pastry or both. We were expecting the custard style. I really hope that Moon dog does do actual pies in the future. This could have been a one off. The staff were very friendly and loved to have a chat. All in all a great venue from what I can see and the 4 stars on the food is simply due to the 'great pie debacle' 😀
