We tried the rump steak, one with roasted vegetables and mash and the other with chips and salad. The steak was quite chewy, so much that I left a big chunk out on the plate after giving up cuz my jaws were starting to ache. Paid extra for mushroom sauce ($2) - didn't taste good, was like it was straight out of a packet with cheap gravy sauce. For $32 dollars, I guess I expected better. Service was pretty good though, very friendly and very fast, checked if we wanted the heater on where we sat. (We came here because my friend was craving one of the meals on an older menu which was no longer an option, and we also saw them on an older copy of Victoria's Official Visitor Guide) Visited Thu lunch hour.

Great little pub run by super friendly owner. Food is great pub food with regular items like popcorn chicken, nachos and parma! Do yourself a favour and grab a lemon tart and sorbet or the sticky date - just delish!

Amazing early dinner at The Palace Hotel South Melbourne. The Smoked Duck & the Roast Lamb Rump were off the charts and very reasonably priced. We love the Palace, but this menu has really taken it to the next level and the wine list has really improved too! Love supporting independently owner venues and this one is a cracker! 😋🍷

Pop into the pub for a Friends themed trivia night. Good pub vibes, dog friendly and they are dog friendly which is very handy for those with pooches. The food tasted pretty good. We ordered the one vege nachos, beef mince nachos, some wedges and the cheeseburger - everything was good. The let down honestly was the trivia / host. Everyone participating just could not understand why the host was screaming into the microphone in a small room and then had the music blasting so loudly. It was awful. Not the fault of the pub

Your typical local pubs with indoor seatings and outdoor seatings which they called their beer garden. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly so you can bring your dog for your weekend drinks. There's a pool table and different screens showing different sports to suit everyone. The food was just okay in my opinion, nothing stands out as it tasted like typical local pubs. Service on the day was a little slow as it seemed to have only one person doing front of the house. Food - 6 Service - 6 Vibe - 8 Price - $$
