Food was good, drinks good, views amazing. Selection adequate and prices for specials through the app were good. Came for the Tuesday steak special which was great. Drinks delivery was very slow though so I went to pick it up at the bar.

Place was pumping, we went to see a band play, Augie March. We got there at 4.30pm and some of the areas were packed. So many bars on all the levels and staff and people everywhere, live music downstairs with people dancing. We were in the Gershwin room which soon filled up. Great venue with toilets close by and a bar right there! Band were great but they had some sound issues which was ashame. We ate dinner afterwards upstairs at Mya Tiger which was a wonderful meal, pricey but great flavours. Overall an iconic Melbourne pub...go explore

Attended the Mamma Mia show on Friday night. So disappointed - two ABBA songs in the first hour! Spoke to staff really didn’t seem to care - offered a drink voucher! Drinks over priced ! The cocktail in the photo is meant to be a Spicy Margarita! As they say a picture is worth a thousand words! Life your game Espy !!

I really enjoyed few drinks at sunset in their pleasant outdoor area! Quite crowded but still very enjoyable, recommended for groups, or for making new friends!

We went for Father’s Day Lunch. It was very busy, live music and great food. We were sitting on a high table with high stools so at the time of booking, if you have young children you may want to mention that as the stools wouldn’t be suitable.
