    The south-side sister of Bimbo's (i do live Northside) that has a pretty similar drinks and food menu. The double story venue is quite popular amongst the locals and tourists alike and the reason why? Because it is a solid venue that offers good drinks, great food and a very chilled atmosphere. Upon entrance you will find some loungey rustic sofas and good background music. If you take a gander upstairs you will find something similar but also a courtyard with a pleasant decor (i love that they have pot plant's going up the wall). A friend and I came here on a sunny afternoon pub crawl and enjoyed some ciders and pizza. The pizza offerings are quite great, a truly diverse range and delicious (just make sure you are here when they are four dollars). As we sat out the back we weren't really happy with the fact that the tables were really dirty and no one came out to clean them whilst we dined / drunk. Apart from that, experience was grand.

    This pub on Chapel Street has a lot going for it. One: Very cheap and surprisingly gourmet pizzas starting at $4. Two: There are the top beers on tap (including my favourite, Little Creatures). Three: There is a very cool upstairs courtyard for the smokers and you can eat and drink out there. Four: The music they play is great, especially on a Friday where they play some older tunes and there is plenty of room for a boogie. Five: The couches or booths downstairs are a fantastic idea and extremely comfy (it makes me feel like I never left the house). Six: With all these awesome up sides, it means it attracts a really good crowd of people where I have always been able to chat to others and have a really good time. Lucky Coq is exactly what I want in a pub and am still a little upset at the fact they don't still keep making pizzas till the early hours of the morning. Either way, whoever came up with the decor and makes sure that it's charm isn't lost, should be congratulated. This is one of my favourite places to go out to and is always a winner on those annoying nights where you seem to be walking around trying to find a cool place to go. This pub has a heart, and I'm glad it's still beating strong.

    Good, fun, no thrills spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat, really good spot to catch up with friends at any point in the day. Hey he pizza selection and you have to be really unlucky to miss the happy hour price of just $4 a pizza!! Vegan and gluten free pizzas and pies too!! If you fancy a real a drink I'd recommend the Captain Coq - Captain Morgan Rum, cranberry juice, peach bitters and lime juice for $10!

    It really is hard to fault Lucky Coq, a lantern lit beer garden outside, dance floor upstairs and yummy pizza kitchen downstairs, this venue caters for customers of any age and any taste in pizza. I have been a long time lover of lucky coq, I think I actually went there for dinner on my very first night of living in the area. Dimly lit and furnished with comfy, soft and velvety couches, Lucky Coq is a South Easten version of the alternative bars and nightlife of Brunswick and Fitzroy. No matter what time of the day or night, you will always find people enjoying what Lucky Coq has to offer. Their selection of $4 Pizza's available during the week are some of the tastiest going around. I also love Lucky Coq on a Saturday night, they have local resident dj's that transform the Pizza place into a funky, fun dancing venue. There is a good variety of beers on tap as well as some very tasty infused vodka's in glass flutes downstairs.

    Well, so it's true, there are pubs in Melboure that have dress codes that effectively ban business ware. Well, that suits me just fine because I know who I'm not going to be running into at this place. Okay, it is a little unfortunately that I do have to dress up for work, which effectively means that I can't have a drink here four days out of the week, but I guess I'll get over that. Anyway, I really like this place, especially the truck cab that protrudes from wall, along with all the other weird and strange things that decorate this place. In fact I believe I even found a bike stuck to the roof. They also have a deck on the roof upstairs which means you can enjoy sitting outside without having to deal with those horrid tables out on Chapel Street.

    The lucky coq is a laid back restaurant/ pub that served up all the good things in life - pizza and drinks at ridiculously student friendly prices, even the biggest cheapskate can't complain. With its laid back vibe, comfy couches and an upstairs courtyard area, it's good for lunch onwards until the sun comes up. Its dim lighting and cavernous feel makes it cosy. The fit out isn't fancy, but with pizza in your belly, a few drinks, music and friends, the decor is all forgotten. The vibe is welcoming and there is a range of patrons from loyal locals, stingy students, boozehounds and friends catching up for a drinks. If you don't want an overpriced swanky drink of boutique beers and gourmet pizzas that the surrounding cafes and restaurants offer, the lucky coq is your go to place.

    I could not rave more about Lucky Coq. The slightly more mainstream sibling of Fitzroy's edgy Bimbos, Lucky Coq is always a guaranteed good night out. One of the rare venues that is popular week round, the crowd is generally young, hip, broke and in search of a good time. The mismatched saloon style furniture sets the tone, all red velvets and fringing. Moroccan lanterns and fairy lights make for a magical courtyard dining experience, while inside the sexy dim lighting sets the mood. $4 pizzas mean that getting a table is always a challenge, so be prepared to share. And while you might not expect much in return for a little loose change, these pizzas are some seriously amazing gourmet fare. Some particular favourites are: Agnello- tomato, parmesan, mozzarella, spiced lamb, rocket, pinenuts, sultanas. Aglio Olio- garlic, chilli, olive oil, parsley, parmesan. Zucchine- tomato, mozzarella, zucchini, sundried tomatoes, parmesan Naturally the drinks are a little on the pricey side to make up for the outrageously cheap pizzas but its more than worth it. So don't write Lucky Coq off due to the constant crowds; this is one of Melbourne's best loved night spots for a reason.

    Great pizza my friends ordered the pulled pork burger and said it was great. Low prices made it even better!

    If I were basing this review on the quality of the pizza alone, it would be getting 5 stars. This…read moreis thin Neapolitan style pizza - the base perfectly made, thin, and with a slight lick of flame from the wood fired oven. The toppings? Great. The Zucca (pumpkin, ricotta, caramelised leeks and fresh oregano) got the thumbs up all round, while the Salumi (tomato, fior de latte, salumi, roasted capsicum, onion jam) came a close second in being named favourite for the night. Value wise, it's excellent. A group of 8 of us tried to defeat 5 large pizzas after a "comfit" (urgh, can't stand a menu typo!) garlic focaccia and two salads (spinach, pea, mint with lemon dressing) and sadly had to leave a few slices as we were just too full. A large pizza is $18 and for this quality I think it an absolute bargain. Next time I'll be grabbing a take away as this really isn't a place to "dine" as the service just isn't up to scratch. Being told that the pizzas only took 2 minutes by one staff member and then being told by another that there would be a wait was confusing. We ended up waiting over 45 minutes for some pizzas and while we were more than happy to drink wine and chat, it just didn't seem like they had it together. One pizza was delivered with a hole in the middle (a casualty of the oven) and we were told another would be sent to replace it. It never arrived and the half mangled one was still on the bill at the end. Luckily we're easy going people but I can see that this would really irk some customers. Needing to ask a few times for water, water glasses, napkins and plates and then being asked how many we'd like (umm, there's 8 of us?) made the lack of experience here very obvious. It's sad, because I like this place. I love their food, I like the relaxed vibe and the un-fussiness of eating a few good pizzas on big tables in what is essentially a shopping arcade. I really want to adopt this place, help them smooth out the kinks and see them succeed at being a kick-arse local pizza spot.

    We are currently doing a mini tour of all pizza places in our area and Portone is definitely the…read morebest I've had so far! Thin, italian style bases, high quality ingredients and a mix of traditional and creative, unusual toppings these pizzas are a winner. We had a bufalina margarita and a zucca (leeks, pumpkin and feta). Both, despite being too extremes, were excellent. Margarita had a gorgeous cheese, balanced carefully with the tomato sauce. I was dubious about the flavours on the zucca, but the leeks were soft and worked beautifully with the pumpkin and feta - the cheese again being the hero. At over $20 each the pizzas certainly aren't the most affordable but the quality makes it worth it. I could have taken them apart and eaten every ingredient on their own and still loved them! .

    Have you figured out I'm a fan of almost all cafes, bars and restaurants in St Kilda?…read more I think its because most of these venues realise the value and importance of superior customer service and scrumptious food to keep people coming back, usually put together with great, live entertainment. Renix is one of these places. I'm so happy I stopped bypassing it on my way to Greasy Joe's and decided to give it a go one day. Serving traditional, Italian wood fired oven pizza's and pasta. It's not a massive menu with a lot of variety, but what they do they do perfectly! Oh - and they deliver!! I've been back a zillion times since my first try and I can recommend just about anything and everything on the menu. If I had to narrow it down to a few faves they would be; the charcoal chicken gourmet pizza, the Renix special tradish pizza and the Agnolotti pumpkin pasta. The difference a wood fired oven and the best, freshest produce makes is definitely noticeable here. With a wine and beer menu, and different offerings of vodka, as well as live entertainment on weekends, Renix is definitely my most favourite and authentic Italian restaurant in all of Melbourne! (Hang on, wait, I haven't reviewed any Lygon restaurant's yet so I may have to eat my words in future!!)

    Woodfired pizza to perfection. Friendly casual atmosphere…read more For a quick easy meal they are surprisingly above average in quality and authentic Napoli style pizza. Definitely on our regular list now.
