Came in for a few drinks and a meal with my daugher, it wasnt busy but still seemed under staffed. My daughter got her $30 burger never got her ketchup as requested, which i reminded the staff twice. Small point but if the kids are only eating because they are hungry and not enjoing the food then why bother.. To be honest though the burger cound be a lot better too for the price. Its a great spot but they need to consider the customers requests.

Hard not to stop, harder to not stay. Broad, long bar and resto with stylish lines and warm, dark colours with subdued lighting. I was here at 5pm on a Friday - my 55th birthday - and it was prolly ⅓ full. I suspect that had hung around even an hour more, there'd be many more folk in. I only stayed for one beer - a pint handle of Asahi ($15) - then skedaddled. I stood in the front bar with my handle admiring the matchbooks under the glass. Copper beer stills (stills?) at the end there hanging from the ceiling. I didn't get about the rest of the place as it was either busy, tabled or restricted for those eating.

Nice place and the interior design is very unique. The food portion is a bit smaller compared to other places. Overall, it's a good place.

On the last day of our trip to Melbourne, we wanted to have a dinner out, somewhere nice and came across this place on our way back to the hotel and decided to try it. It certainly did not disappoint. The place is fantastic, nicely decorated and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was not crazily noisy and we could at least hear ourselves talking. The display on the wall was amazing. The food was great, we had the mussels, potato cakes and schnitty. The service was quick and the staff were extremely helpful. It's a place that we would definitely go back again and would recommend it to others. Thanks for making our visit enjoyable.

A wonderful place for catchup, food & drinks. It’s located in the heart of Melbourne CBD on Collins. They always have the friendliest staff who wouldn’t hesitate to tell us what’s best for the day. I also personally enjoy their weekly specials, & the animals up on decor.
