Melbourne Public

Stopped in for a few and stayed for about around 6 hours, and a pretty good evening. Service was good and beers good.

We called into the Melbourne Public Bar for lunch on Sunday afternoon with 3 children. The atmosphere was great with the double height ceilings. Although there was no children's menu available we ordered off the "To Share" menu. The wedges were chunky and crunchy. Unfortunately the dips weren't to the children's liking but the adults finished them off. Some more pita bread for the amount of dip served would have been better. The dumplings and the spicy chicken wings were both delicious. We enjoyed the live music and his selection of songs. We were dismayed that Victoria is behind compared to South Australia regarding laws restricting smoking in areas where food is served because the seats covered in furs and under the gas heaters looked invited except for the presence of the smoke pollution.

We dropped in here for a drink and lunch before hitting the shops and had the best ever beef burger. It was so delicious and the chips were just as yummy. We have been here many times before, and always impressed by the great food.

Good place to catch up with friends whether it be for a quick drink or for dinner . Meals well priced and tasted good.

The food here is great...restaurant quality but at reasonable prices. The atmosphere and service are also very good
