    Loud. Bistro. Screaming children and pensioners. If this is what you're looking for out of a meal, then go for it!

    I'm not quite sure if I have managed to visit every one of these hotels yet but I suspect that I am…read moregetting close to it. I have to admit that I am somewhat impressed with their evolution over time, namely in regards to the beers that are available, and the fact that they have raised the concept of a sports bar to a new level, namely that they feel much better to sit down with a drink, and a lot less sleazy, that others. Of course, one of the main things that sets them apart is the fact that they pretty much has no pokies.

    It's a 3.2. Stopped for a quick drink after an appointment (and, before anyone starts drawing…read moreconclusions I have at least three AFDs a week. This is an interest not a lifestyle). The fitout of this sports bar didn't do a lot for me. A bit grey and dull, I reckon. The scotches on offer were a bit pedestrian. I chose a Glenfiddich which was ok but as always no standout performer. Service was just ok here without any real warmth or human interest. I actually prefer the pokies pub up the road - and I momentarily forget its name - despite the fact that I detest pokies. The atmosphere is better there. The staff have been lovely there when I've visited. Tim E's review encourages me to discount thoughts of ever eating at the Sporting Club. In the end the only thing I really liked was the name of the place although a person I trust likes this place. Such is life. PS - I later remembered the name of the pub up the road. It's called The Vine. The front bar is called The Vineyard. In all of Melbourne there's not a place that looks less like a vineyard.

    Well, it would be unfair to call this a pokies pub, particularly since they also happen to have a…read morerestaurant, but honestly, I really don't like the place. I guess, when compared to all the other places along Brunswick street, this place simply doesn't compare one bit. In a way, it feels as if it really would be more suited to being in the outer suburbs as opposed to being here on Sydney Road, but then again I guess that the people that would frequent a place like this would need a place that aren't swarmed with the young and the hip, and blasting out live music. Oh, and don't expect a decent selection of tap beers either, there aren't any.

    My friends and I decided to pay our respects to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, so we…read moretravelled to The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel in Brunswick for lunch. Great atmosphere and welcoming friendly staff... Typically I decided to have the Classic Chicken Parmigiana, highly recommend, and my friend had the Mexican Parmigiana, has jalapenos, also highly recommend. Reasonably priced, and I would recommend asking about accommodating children. If you knew me, I've had parmigiana at more than a few venues in Melbourne, Australia, the Classic Chicken Parmigiana lived up to the others I've had, the chicken was perfectly cooked. The venue I recommend to locals and tourists alike - FIVE STARS
