Located in the heart of Frankston, Cheeky Squire brings the cheeky rogue attitude of James Squire to the Mornington Peninsula. Known as Australia’s first brewer, James Squire was a risk-taker who turned his life around from being a convict on the First Fleet to becoming the colony’s first and most sought-after brewer. With the James Squire history in mind, the Cheeky Squire has been renovated with a sense of history and storytelling. Featuring the full James Squire range on tap as well as a few limited-release craft beers, the Cheeky Squire is the perfect spot for an after-work drink or meal. Make sure you try out our delicious modern Australian menu paired with our tasty on-tap brews. Whether you're after an intimate space for small groups, a stand-up space for gatherings, or a vibrant area for larger celebrations, The Cheeky Squire has versatile seating arrangements to accommodate your needs. The decor blends modern design elements with historical nods to the legacy of James Squire, creating a charming atmosphere that invites both locals and tourists alike. It's the perfect space to unwind and indulge in good company and great food.

Came back after a few years remembering the great ambience, and it’s still awesome. Fantastic location and perfect to combine with a beach day. The food is good with a large menu — the pork belly and brisket tacos were our favourites! One downside was the bathroom, which was a bit smelly and not very clean. Apart from that, the staff were super friendly and clearly enjoy their work. It might be a bit much for some guests, but for us (working in the same industry) it was great to see. Will definitely be back with family and friends.

Had dinner for my Birthday on a Saturday night. The Food was Fantastic. Ordering via QR code was a tad of a Nuisance as I was the only Millennial with older friends. Whom had no idea how to use QR codes to order. Sadly, the Atmosphere had Distorted loud 'music' the kind of Distortion you get either with cheap or badly set up Sound Systems. I and various family members have worked in Stage etc, so Distortion verbrations are off putting. The food was Amazing, but they need to do, better Sound checks when playing live music.

Beautiful location, outdoor sitting is perfect to enjoy sea view. The food was disappointing, I had a salad with was nice but hubby got the brisket burger which looked and tasted like leftovers from many many days ago. The waiting staff were really good, apologized for a mix up with the drinks and replaced without extra charge, the lovely lady with gorgeous blue hair definitely saved our visit, but we won’t be returning again

Service was below average, not explaining drinks correctly - and giving attitude when mistook Long Island iced tea for a cider. Food, mains tasted okay, skimped on the meat and went hard on the broccolini. Dessert, probably the worst creme brûlée I’ve ever seen. Tasted like tea leaves and looked less than appetising. Won’t be coming back
