Reviews for Moon Dog Wild West
Edwar Kartio
This bar sits on what once was a huge furniture shop. It spans across three levels with the top level being a rooftop without cover. The main attraction on ground level is definitely the mechanic bull that you can ride (after signing the waiver document). Huge selection of drinks from the tap or bottled. There is also a small slide and few pinball machines for the young ones. Food is a pretty average experience, very similar to other pubs. Food - 6 Service - 7 Vibe - 7 Price - $$$

I was originally put off by the 3.6 stars on Google, but the place is pretty cool. It was buzzing on a Saturday night - we had heaps of fun riding the mechanical bull. There wasn’t much of a line, it was free to ride and we just had to sign a waiver. The drinks were pretty good, staff were friendly. Was cool to see some people taking it quite seriously with country outfits etc Would recommend, novel experience !

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

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 🤠
