PJ O'Brien's Irish Pub was a short walk from our Southbank Hotel in Melbourne and after a long tour…read moreday, we were ready for a nice meal in a convenient location. Another couple had been there a few days before and raved about it, so off we went. Although we were seated relatively quickly, ordering was slow, and delivery from the kitchen even more so. OK, the drinks came quickly, although I was served a Heineken (Lager), when I clearly ordered a Kilkenny (Irish Red Ale). That's kind of embarrassing for an Irish Pub to mix up those 2 very different beers. The wait for our dinner so long that a couple just finishing up at the next table offered to try to find our waitress who had disappeared. We found her later at the bar with a friend, probably just off work, and with a poor handoff. Someone else eventually delivered our meals, which was pretty good, particularly Gayle's Chicken Parma. My issue was that half of my Mussels were "welded shut", despite my messy attempts. After several minutes of trying to find someone, I basically told that flustered person to take the plate away because I was done with this place. To the restaurant's credit, they took the Mussels off the tab with a half- hearted apology at the cash register, not our table. A much need snack at the local 7-11 finished off my evening meal. Let's just call it a bad night from a franchise Irish Pub that failed these customers.

Seamus McPeake's Irish Pub is the local pub for the residents of Knox and surrounds. Hidden away in…read morea corner of Knox City Shopping Centre's Knox Ozone, it is a small venue which has the energy more commonly found in venues of the inner city. Among locals it is called "The Irish". A traditional irish pub in every sense it sports dark wooden furniture and a few booths at the back - perfect for a catch-up with mates. There are little nooks and crannies in every corner with all kinds of seating from bar stools, to benches to seats that double as small tables. Service is quick, but not quick enough when it comes to keeping the place clean - it is pretty grimy and the chances that someone will spill a drink on you are pretty high so I would caution against wearing your best clothes. Dress code is smart casual - just keep it simple. Entry is only $5 and drinks are relatively cheap too which is always a good thing. The place is busiest on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and because of its size is packed full pretty quickly. There is an outdoor smokers area, which is tiny but it doesn't seem to deter patrons from crushing against each other in order to secure themselves some room out there. The dance floor is tiny but again, when there is a will there is a way and there are a lot of very willing dancers here. Patrons range in age from the very young to the very old although there tends to be more males than females.

This place turned out to be somewhat better than I expected, but then again I did end up here…read moresometime after my first visit. Yeah, since I happened to be down in Belgrave I thought that I'd give this place another shot, and it turned out to be quite worth the trip as well. Not only was the service actually pretty good, but they also have some nice beers on tap as well, something that is certainly going to be standing out where I am concerned. Yeah, this place was pretty cool, and I'd certainly be visiting it again if I land up in Belgrave.

The Bell Tavern is your staple pub and grub provider in Belgrave…read more With a music venue, Ale House, bar and plenty of cafes on the busy strip, The Bell sits proud on the hill providing locals with an 'Irish Pub' feel with an Aussie twist. With standards on tap, and beers by the bottle in the fridge, The Bell also has a full wine list and spirit selection. The food is basic pub fare, with pizza, chips and the usual grab you want when having a few beers on offer. No fancy stuff here, just a tried and tested range of favourites that never seem to go out of style. Although the odd night of live music is hosted here, The Bell Tavern caters for those who don't want to talk over a band and aren't after all the bells and whistles that sometimes come with pub dining.

I'll start with the good and then get into the bad…read more I like the decor of The Pig & Whistle. Inside has a bunch of beer steins, and alcohol memorabilia, fun posters and pictures in frames, it's all fun to look at and take in. The outdoor area is nice too, plenty of picnic type tables to help enjoy the good weather. And there is what looked like a mini garden, that's nice too. On the other side of things, when you order a starter and it's brought to you, sometimes it's nice to have plates to eat on too. The calamari was not tasty and was a rubbery texture, it came with a matching portion of french fries/chips and a small salad. The best thing about that plate was the aioli dipping sauce. The veggie stir fry was dripping in sauce and was far too spicy for my liking. It wasn't an even plate, with the over-sized vegetables and the skinny rice noodles in a pool of spicy sauce. And the prices for what you're getting, that didn't please me either. I'm sorry for the negative, but it was solely based on just the look and feel of the place, for sure it'd be a five star from me.

I have been in for drinks on several cold and windy days (which are numerous up there) and have always longed to enjoy all the space they have outdoors. They have a giant lawn area and lots of patio seating with colonial pine plantings around the place. Fun decorations inside with a very British theme.

Of course keeping the Guinness at the best standard you can get in Australia is a plus! Although I don't think it is drinkable outside Ireland/England but that's a whole other subject. There is live music too. The only food is simple toasted cheese sandwiches which are just awesome. There's usually two tables out front on the street which are generally communal.

They serve them up in a heavy cast-iron skillet, which kept everything hot while we listened to the live karaoke. ​The Highlights: ​Massive Portions: These are definitely built for sharing. The toppings-to-chip ratio is elite--no "dry chips" at the bottom here. ​Fresh Toppings: I was impressed by the massive scoop of thick sour cream and the chunky guacamole. They don't hold back on the cilantro either, which added a great fresh hit. ​The Crunch: Even with the mountain of cheese and salsa, the chips stayed crunchy in the skillet. ​Perfect salty fuel for a few pints of Guinness. If you're in Rosebud and want a solid Friday night vibe with food that actually fills you up, you can't go wrong here. The staff were amazing, friendly and well informed. ​Pro Tip: Get there early on Fridays if you want a good table near the music! Put down a song with the karaoke host P.K
