Had an amazing experience at The Esplanade with our community group! We had 30 girls attend, and the atmosphere and vibe were incredible. The Sunroom was the perfect spot to watch the sunset, and the service was fantastic. Huge thanks to Gareth behind the bar, who couldn’t have been more helpful, and to Ben for organising our booking so smoothly. We’ll definitely be back!

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

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.

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!
