Okay, from the outside it looks like it has been around for a while, which probably shouldn't…read moresurprise too many people considering that it is located on the main road heading into Melbourne. Mind you, I suspect that it has been widened numerous times, so I'm surprised that the old pub is still standing. Look, it's still a suburban pub, so to be honest, it really isn't all that thrilling. You can probably give this one a pass.

Complete with Bistro, Gaming Salon and Sports Bar, 'The Hallam' could be a great hangout for end of working week drinks, general catch up or going to that music gig. The service is below par and often the tables haven't been cleaned properly and to order drinks/meals in the Bistro, clientele have to go to either the Sports Bar or Gaming area because the 'service area' in the Bistro is closed. Lift your game, Hallam.

Great beer, friendly staff but the food is over salted. My rare steak $40 was well done, the salt…read moreand pepper calamari was so salty it was uneatable and the chicken strips way over cooked. However the place does have a great fun sport bar feel. PS Has improved and steaks are now rare!

Loved it! Went there one Monday night a few weeks ago. We were seated in booth with our own tv…read morebuilt in that we could control. Set with free to air and Foxtel sport channels it kept the kids happy (child and hubby). We ordered the ribs that were on a 1/2 price special and they were amazing, and as we each ordered different sauces it led to a friendly argument about who's was better. We followed that up with the dessert platter which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The service couldn't be faulted, food came out in good time, drinks were served immediately after ordering, and staff were constantly making sure we were happy and not in need of anything. We have since returned twice and become members in order to make good use of their happy hour while dining (jar cocktails are $8.90 for members, $12.90 full price) the ribs special is a regular Monday thing and they have other specials throughout the week eg steak night, Parma night, burger night, $1 ribs ect. Value for money is pretty reasonable, but fantastic if you take up the specials on offer. For 3 servings of 1/2 priced ribs, a dessert platter, a jug of cider, a soft drink and ice cream spider it cost us $90

This is better than your typical bar/pokie club venue. A bit like an upmarket RSL. The lunch…read morespecials are pretty good value. The steak leaves you wanting a little more, but in a good way. The decor in the bistro is warm and inviting. It's OK place to eat if you want a watch a game not on free-to-air TV! Never tried the a la carte restaurant, so I can't tell you if its worth a visit or not. So far it hasn't enticed me. I m pretty sure there are better choices for the money than there but it seems to draw a crowd.

Yes there are lots of tvs. Which makes sense for all the sporting enthusiasts going to watch sports with mates, having drinks, the days special (which seems to be a daily thing and a good thing) and just share plain good times with friends. The staff are very helpful and welcoming to your needs. SO I do not see any reason for people not to try this place out. As for me I do look like a small rabbit in the sea of lions and people who know a lot about sport. It is just something that I never caught on. I'm jealous

Had dinner here tonight with friends . They are lucky to get a 3 star rating. That was only due to…read morethe food ( which was great ) . The waitress was clearly disappointed we weren't using the app to order . That's because she was hopeless. The food order came slightly mixed up , drinks went missing, staff went missing when it was time to order more drinks . When the food came we were expected to eat with our hands ( well I guess ribs are a caveman dish ) and then once we finally found someone to tell we had no cutlery there was still a 10 min wait . Hang on I forgot to tell you about the missing drink . We told our waitress it went missing, 5 minutes later she returned to tell us it hadn't been ordered , did we want to order the drink . Seriously Manuel from faulty towers was better than these people . Then there was no one to take our money . The good food is not actually worth the pathetic service . They won't get my money again.

We couldn't book a table for dinner before arriving and were told we would have a 30 minute wait…read more We hit the bar and had a table less than 20 minutes later. The walls are covered in pop culture junk, so it's not the classiest of places, but we got seated beneath a large toy Millennium Falcon so I was a happy boy. Happy hour was rapidly finishing once we got a table and for some stupid reason you couldn't get Happy Hour prices if you ordered your drinks from a waiter. This resulted in a ten minute wait at an almost empty bar for a couple of beers. When the manager (he wasn't dressed in the usual uniform so I'm calling him the manager) saw we were waiting he jumped behind the bar for our drinks, only they had no clean pot glasses so we scored pints for the price of a Happy Hour pot. If the beer was better than the Carlton Draught on offer that would score you an extra star on this review Mr Manager. The restaurant was very busy so service and food wasn't so fast, but I've just got back from America, so everything seems slow back here at home compared to there. When the food did arrive it was quite good, so I didn't mind the wait. I had the NY Strip with cheesy mashed potato and onion rings as a side. Onion rings can be pretty dodgy at times in Australia (comparing things to America again here) but these were damn good, as was the steak and mash. Oh, bring your ear plugs along too. Since this is a part of a chain of family friendly restaurants the staff will gather around a table to sing/shout a rather annoying song whenever it is someone's birthday. I just wanna eat my food guys, not listen to you embarrass the people at the table next to us.
