Pirate Life South Melbourne is an absolute must-visit! The service is exceptional, with incredibly friendly staff who make you feel right at home. And the food? Simply divine. The tender, succulent steak was perfect, and the amazing sides were equally delicious. Seriously, if you're looking for fantastic food, drinks and outstanding hospitality, you need to check this place out. Highly recommended!
Visited on a Sunday, arrived about 4.45, i wasn't eating but some of our party were, so we were told immediately that the kitchen closed at 5pm. The roast had all gone but they swapped out the roast meat with steak, it looked very tasty and apparently was. Good selection of beer, i had a stout which was good. I am not usually a fan of non independent breweries, but i liked Pirate Life. It was pretty quiet and it shut at 6pm
Really nice venue. Open, lots of seats, outdoor areas front and back. Great beer selection, friendly, welcoming and informative staff. It was quiet so the atmosphere I’m sure is much brighter when it’s busier. Didn’t eat, but the menu is unique and diverse and everything smells AMAZING.
The Monday steak day special is a great value at $25, featuring a steak, chips, and a gravy dip. On my visit, I had a 250g porterhouse steak. The steak was cooked perfectly, so kudos to the chef. However, the quality of the meat was a bit chewy. Given the price of $25, I can't complain too much. The porterhouse had a good amount of fat, which I rendered off, but I can understand why some people enjoy the fatty parts, as they enhance the flavor. The chips could have been cooked a little longer, but they were still good. Overall, the venue and vibe were really nice.
Fantastic tasting steak and perfect value for the $25 Thursday Steak Day. Venue was great too, would be a great after work drinks/dinner venue. Staff service was exceptional. Well done, Pirate Life!
