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.

Lovely Hotel, short walk from Pier at Frankston foreshore, inside and outside seating. Food was nice but bar was under staffed only one lady welcoming and seating people, getting drinks and taking food orders luckily we got in before the lunch rush. Would be a great venue for a special event, wheelchair friendly except getting to the outside area has a few stairs.

Went for dinner with a few mates on Wednesday. We had to wait 1hr for our food. All of our meals came out at the same time and they all seemed to be decent quality, but my steak was comfortably the worst steak I’ve ever had, well and truely overcooked and a terrible cut of meat (It was the most expensive steak on the menu also) I straight away had to say something to the bar staff which they were very good about helping me with, however the next steak that came out was just as bad, only slightly better due to it being a better cut of meat. I don’t like complaining at any venue even once, and twice in one sitting I couldn’t bring myself to do. The Quality of their food has seemed to decline in the past 6 months unless I’ve just gotten unlucky? Not sure.. but my free bottle of coke for the hassle doesn’t cut it if I’m honest. The photos attached are the second steak I received, “medium rare” the photos don’t really do it justice, It was very dry. And the first steak only had grill lines going in one direction which is a rookie error, the sear is the best part! I’ve had some great meals here in the past, this was just an all time blunder

I didn’t take many photos during my visit here, but it was a memorable experience. It was my first time, and I was invited by my son. Arriving at 12 PM, I was surprised by how busy the venue was—it’s clearly a popular spot! The layout is unique, with a lively front bar where people gather for drinks, leading to the seating area out back. Sitting by the canal was such a pleasant surprise; it’s an unexpected yet lovely setting that adds to the venue’s charm. The food was fantastic, the service was efficient, and everything moved smoothly despite the crowd. The atmosphere was lively, with happy patrons all around, which added to the experience. We enjoyed alcoholic ginger beers as our drink of choice, and they were refreshing and delicious. I’m grateful to have been invited because it’s not somewhere I might have gone on my own, but I can see why it’s so popular—I’ve even seen it shared frequently on social media. I’ll definitely be coming back and look forward to experiencing it again!

Quick shout out to the staff at Cheeky Squire and Beth who served us . Every time we’ve been there for a fantastic meal, the staff have been outstanding with customer service, but tonight was over and above. We booked for my partners birthday. Meals and drinks for 3. Beth made sure my partner had a complimentary birthday drink, what a legend, then when I made a query as we had a little delay on meals ( to be a little expected as the place was full ) , she went over and above to make sure we were looked after. That makes a patron feel more than just another punter, but more a welcomed and respected guest. Well done to all the staff that served us on table 5 . Made my partners birthday very special, memorable and we look forward to our next visit . Thank you .

Great food, chilled vibes, and fantastic staff at The Cheeky Squire. Loved that our dog could join us—made the day even better! Highly recommend for a relaxed, dog-friendly outing.
