Iconic destination on a rise overlooking St Kilda beach on Port Phillip Bay. Easily accessible by tram from Melbourne, it offers casual dining in a variety of venues. Food is typical pub fare but is tasty and a good selection of drinks on tap. Great spot to watch the sunset.

Came here for an event and quite liked the space. The Gershwin room could definitely accomodate a good number patrons and service was quick. I’ll visit again during the day for the views!

Iconic for a reason, the espy is always a good idea. Such a fun, vibrant space with something for everyone. Today we popped in for lunch and sat at the communal round table. I took a gamble of the Chook roll and while it didn’t knock my socks off it wasn’t the worst. Mates had the Cesar and the Salmon which looked incredible. Also, some bloke near us ordered the Parma which also looked bloody good. Get around it ☀️

Went for free trivia on Wednesday night. The host was great and it was well set up. The trivia was in a separate room but you could easily order food and drinks on the QR codes.
