$20 Parma Chicken on Thursday after 4PM. $8.50 pints of the GOAT lager with student and nightly discount. My favorite cheap spot for drinks and food I've found. Excellent bar with good seating, service, food, and drinks.

Really love the daily deals they have. Steak Tuesday is quite a bargain, almost half price from original and you get a good amount of food. The porterhouse wasn't the most tender and was a bit tough to chew through but the sauce helped. Chips were good, definitely worth a try.

I was here on Friday with a friend and I must say they have friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Ash who works there is so nice she’s served us for the night and I really enjoyed her vibes, I got the cheeseburger and chips and that was delicious!! the prices were reasonable. I’ll definitely be back! 😄🍽️

New to RMIT and decided to try this bar. Loved the atmosphere of the bar and the diversity in it. The highlight of the night was when I was served by two gentlemen named Darcy and Cairo. The service these guys gave was spectacular! Some of the most uplifting bartenders in the city, kudos to them. Will definitely be coming back for more pints after this experience.

An exceptional find in Melbourne, offering a superb selection on tap and a uniquely warm atmosphere, thanks to the welcoming presence of Cairo and Darcy. As an international student, finding a spot that feels like home is challenging, but this place has quickly become my go-to. The combination of friendly staff, great drinks, and a cozy vibe makes it a standout. Highly recommend.
