Hidden Beer Garden for the layed back client…read more This place is cool, i mean i lived around the corner and sometime you would spend all night there and other just a warm up for the night but either way a cool joint. Good music and a very hipster-esk clientel means its a very relaxed environment and for a smoker like me HEAVEN. They make a mean pizza and the cocktail jugs are a good price and decent. the toilets however were too small and the line a mile long but that was updated recently which is good. it needs a few other things but its a new cool layed back Been Garden which works well. P.s Bring back the Shisha guys!!!

We chose this because we just wanted a nice, casual place to eat on a Sunday night but one that had…read morea great choice on the menu, and in that regard, they delivered. You go to your table, choose what you want to eat and go up to order. We did notice food was coming out fairly quickly, but also seemingly randomly considering the way we saw people go up to order. Our meal took way longer than expected, but it was enjoyable when it finally came. The chicken kiev was perfectly golden brown on the outside and the fries were great, and while the rice was lovely, I didn't feel it fit the meal. With that said, everyone liked their meal and I'd come back here again for another casual meal be it lunch or dinner. They have their own on site parking out the back, or there's plenty out front. The food is well priced and the service is friendly enough. Give this a go!

This pub wasn't too bad, but it was basically one of those suburban pubs that did have a bit of…read morecharm, but not too much. I personally liked it actually, though I suspect that it was because the service wasn't bad, they had some good beers available, and there was a beer garden out the back. While it might not be one of those pubs that really stands out in my mind, it is still a rather pleasant place, and it certainly isn't like the pubs out in my area. Having good beers on tap also helps quite a lot, and this pub certainly succeeded in this regard.

I probably shouldn't call this place a pub, namely because it happens to be a bar, but it is a…read morerather nice one at that. Like a lot of bars, it is rather narrow, but it does have a couple of levels, including a couple of rooftop decks up above. Also, they have a nice lounge area there as well, something that a lot of pubs seem to be missing. Oh, and it also has some nice beers on tap as well.

The beer flights are also recommended if you're indecisive! As far as food went, I really liked the deep fried mac and cheese, and the shrimp po boy was quite tasty, but could do with a bit more remoulade. We also got the Dom and that was INSANE! I have no idea how one person is supposed to eat all of that. It was really tasty though, but I felt like I was going to explode from eating it. There's also a very impressive collection of hot sauces you can try with your meal, including one with a "try at your own risk" label on it! It's in a pretty convenient location, although being above Camberwell station does mean it can be a bit noisy.

For my 1000th review I thought I'd choose somewhere special, and the Flying Duck certainly is…read morespecial. A couple of years ago I celebrated my 30th birthday here and it was a totally fabulous night. I re-visited about a month ago for a casual dinner with friends. I have no idea how I first discovered this pub. I'm guessing one of my friends told me about it - and booking it for my 30th was simple and straightforward. Inside it's a very traditional looking pub which has had a bit of a renovation so it's quite classy, and outside there's a beer garden as well as a covered area which is what we used for my birthday. It was just perfect and made for a really fun night. When we visited recently, we enjoyed some drinks in the beer garden before moving inside for dinner. The menu is gastropub style and there's some really interesting sounded dishes on the menu but I went for the token chicken parma as it had been so long since I'd had one. While I wouldn't say it was the best parma I've ever had it was pretty damn good. Overall, this is a lovely little pub off the chaotic Chapel St which is well worth a visit if you're looking for a quiet catch up with friends.

You would never just stumble upon this pub on a night out in Prahran. It is a little hidden gem in…read morea suburban area. All of a sudden walking past houses, you hear the chatter of the crowd in the beer garden before you lay eyes on the Flying Duck. I arrived at 7pm on a Saturday night and the place was packed, and pumping. There is a front bar, and a large outdoor beer garden. We were in a small function room for my friends birthday, which was quite intimate but a good size. I ate a quick bite for dinner, which was the fish and chips- a nice meal and I didn't have to wait too long on a busy night. Definitely will be heading back for another night at the Duck.

Offering a small selection of beers, wines and cocktails, as well as some more serious food options if choctops and popcorn isnt going to cut it', this bar provides a pleasant place to meet for a drink pre or post movie.

However, I did eventually learn of its existence, and as such made the trek down Church St to check it out. Well, this place wasn't too bad, though it does happen to be a bit fancier for my tastes. Still, despite that, I found that the staff were quite friendly, and they also had some nice beers on tap as well. So yeah, this place wasn't too bad.

The first thing you see is the large communal table surrounded by walls covered in all sorts of delicious looking bottles. There's a couple of window seats and clever little tables along the side. But, walk past the main bar and there's a small little room that can host a couple of small groups with an open fire. Keep walking down the hall and there's a lovely outdoor area, which is going to be excellent in summer. Milton is already warmer than my apartment and has access to delicious wine so I may as well just move in. Find me here a lot.

They seated us upstairs in what can be an open air rooftop, or as in our case, a covered rooftop area with a fireplace. It was cozy and warm despite the awful weather outside. You use your phone to scan for the menu, and go up to the bar to order. The guy said the food might take a while since there was 11 orders coming in all at once, but really, it wasn't that long at all. Mine of course was one of the last (seems to be a recurring theme with me) but the guy was really apologetic and it wasn't a big issue. The food was delicious and filling. Generous portions for good prices. Everyone loved what they got, and even though it's a really casual, pub type of place, it was all well presented and everything was clean and made for a good lunch. I'd definitely recommend coming here whether it's in summer or winter as they cater for both, and it's in a good location with reasonably good parking. Really enjoyable.

I've found that this place doesn't share the opening hours of your typical pub, but then again I…read moresuspect that it actually isn't one of your typical pubs. In fact, I suspect that it is more one of those places that happens to be more a bar that tends to have bar opening hours. However, if you do end up here when it does happen to be open, then it is actually a pretty good bar. That probably has a lot to do with the number of craft beers on offer, and honestly, when it comes to craft beers then I am all over the place. Well, that is probably why I ended up giving this place the score that I have. Yeah, awesome bar.

When you just want to drink all these factors become pretty important. Comprising of a few different levels, an outdoors area and a lot of seating, Nevermind pulls steady crowds and has a really nice atmosphere. I've never felt uncomfortable or picked up any dodgy vibes. Its just a nice location and is filled with seemingly nice people. Due to the large amount of couches Nevermind is the perfect location to catch up with friends or even hold an event. The only thing I have a problem with is continuously walking up and down stairs to get drinks but it doesn't seem to bother me too much once I've had a few.
