Honestly, I really don't care all that much considering that I'll order what I like where I like, unless of course it isn't available. Well, despite it being a cocktail bar, that did happen to have beer available here, though I must admit that the place was a little dark, though that probably does add to the atmosphere. Yeah, it was okay, but not one of my favourites.

The Criterion, post PJs renos, is a standard faux-Irish pub slap bang in the middle of the city…read more(close to Town Hall). Being close to where I used to work, I'd frequent this place quite a bit, and before it was a PJs it was a mates fave city pub so we'd catch up over a few here from time to time. There's a pretty good mix of people in the street-level bar, and PJs have converted it into more of a sports bar so there are plenty of screens for the sports nuts to check out their favourite teams prospects. PJs typically have pretty good fare. In winter they have two absolute cracking dishes. The Guiness Pie with mushy peas, and their signature lamb shanks which is totally unctuous. Why such a modest score? Price kills the place. It's not one of the cheaper places to get a beer as someone incorrectly states in their tips, it's easily one of the most expensive places to get a beer. You're paying over the top prices for domestic tap beer. A cheap beer is $5 for a Coopers Pale Ale, which you can get on the same street about 200m up the road... Also... As much as I enjoy a good pokie section, this one ain't good. And by that I mean the clientelle. It brings in the undesireable types, and sours what is otherwise a sweet pub. The snug, the downstairs den, has a great looking bar, and "snug" seating, but it's kinda pointless down there. It doesn't feel snug, it feels stuffy and claustrophobic - and the bar has never been manned when I've been down there. Now, if they moved the pokies to the snug, and then opened up the entire bar at the street-level to include the room vacated by the pokie section, you'd have something. But why would they do that when they can get by with what they have.

I went for lunch here not too long ago and it was a great Irish pub. Rich Mahogany wood and a wide…read moreselection of beer on tap, with food selections that you'd find in most other Irish pubs. Being in the city, it can get quite busy very quickly and is a decently sized basement multi-storied pub. TV screens are usually are usually playing Fox sports or something similar. I order the Parmy, just to be on the the safe side. I wasn't too game to try the Pie which is supposed to be one of the best (as judged by Irish people I work with) around. The food is carefully prepared and you can tell the produce is quality and they've cooked it properly which some pubs sometimes struggle to do consistently... The chips were the standout side, crisp and crunchy! Definitely will be trying the stew or pie, that is if I'm brave enough to.

Of course many people have probably never even heard of this place. Most people walk by without…read moreeven realising it exists. You hardly notice it, but there is a sign right there for everyone to see. At least then, the owners are doing something right. Most people hear about The Secret Cafe via word of mouth. The place mostly resembles a karaoke joint, cafe and kids club mixed in one. Once you exit this dodgy looking elevator you enter a main room which is radically different. On one wall there's a shelf full of board games and lounges where yes, you can actually play while you have your regular mocha latte. There are seven individually themed rooms which you can book out by the hour. It costs about $5 per person, per hour but you'll be able to keep yourself busy with the Nintendo wii, Playstation, Xbox, depending on which room you choose. However, some of the rooms have a minimum number of people you need to pay for - it doesn't work on a first come, first serve basis. The touch screen ordering system makes everything hassle-free to order from your room, while you lounge around and kick ass at Tekken.

Atmosphere was busy and the decor upbeat bar bistro. Food prices were up there so I had great expectations but it all was very average. I had the veal and potatoes.
