I guess it may have something to do with not being a huge fan of chicken, but I still eat it. I guess the other thing was that I found the burgers to be, well, not all that good.

All of the fried chicken options comes with one side included - we ordered original fried chicken + fries & hot wings + mac & cheese & a gravy boat to dip our fries - so, all the healthy options. The original was three generous pieces of chicken (breast & thigh) & we got 6 spicy whole wings (wing + drum). The coating was really tasty for both flavours with a good level of spice for the hot wings & the chicken inside was succulent & perfect. The fries were awesome - whatever seasoning they have is excellent (but may be a bit salty for some). The Mac & cheese was good - initially I thought the flavour was lacking but that may have just been compared to all the big chicken flavours. Apart from fried chicken FAT do a solid range of burgers & there are a few salads on the menu (coleslaw, potato salad, chop salad), but this is a fast food joint at the end of the day so don't arrive expecting a healthy experience! It's called fried & tasty after all!! I'll be eating salads for the next year but next time I need a fast food hit I know where I'm headed!

I'm not entirely sure whether it was a proper pub or bar, or simply just a burger joint, but the atmosphere certainly suggested that it is a bar.

They were serving up Hurricanes and Mimosas and I was in HEAVEN (while knee-deep in a Hurricane). Their burgers are pretty sweet too but I would recommend the sliders more. They just seem to... taste better. Like finding a good parking spot, if you happen to score a seat out the front, you should never leave because it will never happen again.

I had been stalking their Instagram for a long time and had already partaken in one of their donuts (the incredible All Day Donuts) and last night, on a drizzly Thursday, I finally decided to stuff my face with one of their shiny burgers. It's a cute and cosy little place, with only a few tables and chairs. It is certainly not a pumping venue by any means, despite the rap music blaring and the hipster staff. We ordered the classic cheeseburger with fries and two margaritas, because why not? The margaritas are the only cocktail on the menu, with wines by Noisy Ritual and a small selection of local craft beers. The burger was perfection. Filled to the brim with pickles, drippy yellow cheese and a fresh-made patty. The bun was made in-house and had a glossy finish but was not too sweet. Served in a classic red american-style basket. If you're hunting for some of Melbourne's best burgers, Juanita Peaches should definitely be added to your list.

The clue's in the name as to why this is an absolute must destination if you love craft beer (and if you don't, you're wrong); one of the best in Melbourne in my opinion. There's always some interesting beers to try and the selection of 12 constantly rotating taps keeps things interesting. The place is laid back, service friendly and knowledgeable, only downside is that it's not the cheapest place to drink but the quality and variety of beers makes it worth the price. There's also A/C ( very welcome on days like today; 38C). There's a small garden out back which is usually pretty quiet. Haven't tried the food but they have some daily specials which seem popular.

The lure of twelve rotating beer taps, delicious food (including some of, if not THE best onion rings I've ever eaten) and a great atmosphere is a little too much to resist for much longer. The Alehouse staff are very knowledgeable, as you would expect in a beer nirvana such as this. It gets busy in here, but it's usually quiet enough to have a quick chat with them as you try and decide which one of the delicious beverages on offer you will have. They're more than happy to let you taste test one before you commit to a full glass too. A great choice of beers are on offer and you're bound to find something you like on the rotating taps (the upcoming beers are listed on a wall next to the bar), but if you don't like anything on tap check out the beer fridges or even try one of their beer cocktails! In the front of the bar there are comfy couches along one side, with larger tables on the other side. In the adjoining room is the same setup, though this can be booked for private functions and it's also where the Wednesday night Trivia Night is held. Trivia is free, fun, and prizes include a bar tab, so you really can't go wrong with that. Out the back is a beer garden with a mix of tables and chairs in a variety of shapes and sizes, with a shady tree or two thrown in for good measure. As I mentioned, the food is great here. The first time I popped in the kitchen was being renovated and my order of fries was forgotten, but since then service has been prompt and the food delicious when it has arrived. I've been to Alehouse a few times now and will keep going back. I have managed to resist jumping off the tram to pop in so far, somehow but that won't last long...especially with an all too convenient tram stop right outside!

My friend had a vegan schnitzel which came with chips (fries), gravy and slaw which she enjoyed. Sorry, this is not pictured. Service was good around 12:30pm on 6/10/25 from our server.

One thing- I'm going to suggest some points that might need considering- the bench stool style seats are wonderful, but if you intend on making your guest stay a long time then those aren't the type of seats you need. The wait was alright for me, but it was mentioned by my plus one with me cause of prior back issues. The atmosphere is paired well with the enthusiasm of the wait staff. And its one that made the meal more enjoyable. The toilets are clean! And its unisex. The two burgers my table ordered were the vegetarian- Kobacha. If your not vegetarian this is also very good. The Asian herb with the spicy sour cream complements to perfection with the chick pea and pumpkin patty. Your taste buds will crave more without thinking your eating veg!. The Lower east side burger! A wagyu beef with sliced jalapeños and relish with cheddar. The plate is dusted with sesame coriander chili. The excellent component to the burgers is an unmistakable flavor in which most east coast folk from the states won't miss! All I needed to have with the joy of eating these burgers was to hear a New Yorker call for drinks then more!!! the five stars for this review comes from my last experience in Lt Oscars- DRSSERT! Now I'm sorry that the last two reviewers here had not such a good time. (Maybe it was trying too hard on opening day or maybe the band wasn't there when I arrived) but I recommend the "little Oscars Chocolate Trinity.- for two" it's a definite winner.

The brownie is a warm slab on a sweet compote next to two other mouses one is chocolate the other is a cream with with bits of white chocolate and nuts sprinkled around.

It's sleek interior and hip-crowd (and air conditioning) had drawn us in on a hot March evening. The drinks list was fun, with a great range of house-created cocktails (Sex on Brunswick, anyone?) however the beer list was a bit lacking. But now to the important stuff... the food! Intriguingly, the Lt. Oscar is designed to share, and therefore all 'burgers' actually come served as two slightly smaller sliders. We ordered the Little Oscar burgers (a classic cheeseburger) and the Gangnam style burgers (with Korean fried chicken and Asian slaw) to share. First things first, the sliders are actually just a hint too big, and would be perfect as just one main meal. Secondly, the Gangnam style was a little lacking in flavour and surprisingly the classic cheeseburger was far superior. I think they are still finding their feet a bit here... I do love a burger but with so much competition around, they'll need something a bit more than just serving them in pairs.
