Lovely staff, good food, and amazing views. Would recommend the cacio e pepe pizza. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Food came out quickly. read more

whilst I understand that you're paying for the view and location - at least try to make the food edible. I ordered the scallops which were drenched in olive oil vinegar and chilli - seriously you couldnt tell whether the slivers served were actually scallops. The ceasar salad lettuce wasn't even washed - with the core still intact and dirt between the leaves. Very disappointed read more

Nice location, right next to the beach. Menu seems to have a lot of choice, we went for breakfast. Was disappointed there was no table service and the eggs chef needs to work on the poached, the eggs came cooked, both for my benedict as for my friend's... Poached egg... read more

Went to this place yesterday. And the food was not worth it!! The grilled chicken skewers looked like it was poached. The pizza was drenched in oil and salt. The kids would not eat the pizza. They didn't really have much kids options. Overpriced for the food that was served. Planned the night so that we could do beach volley ball but then discovered that was an extra cost. read more

There is nothing better than sitting in the sun on a warm Summer afternoon sipping a glass of vino and enjoying some live entertainment. Republica is the perfect place, they have a great outdoor courtyard where there is live bands over the weekends and food and drink specials during the week. I especially love the $2 oysters on Friday's, just perfect with a few glasses of bubbles and a nice view of the beach. Feel like getting active? Republica also organise weekly beach volleyball tournaments, there are games on Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Friday's at $20 per player, entry includes a free drink and slice of pizza. So get a group together, get competitive and enjoy a friendly game on the beach watching the sunset and listening to some tunes. read more

Good stuff. Would've walked past it thinking it wasn't really worthy of a visit. Ah. But surprised me they did. Great food hidden here and look out for their specials on the board inside. Had the chilli garlic pizza and the garlic prawn linguine with the beet root salads and the special's Jerusalem artichoke with mushroom soup. Oh so fabulous on a cold winters day. They had salt and pepper shakers on the table. I felt I had to throw them away from the table. Throw it across the room and declare this restaurant doesn't need anymore seasoning! Its damn good I tell ya! Prawns are so velvety and smooth. Let it be my carpet man. read more

Republica St Kilda Beach - Got too excited. Ate before taking a pic - Bars Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

See all

Although there is no table service at this establishment on St Kilda Beach, at least it is much, much better than the cafe closest to St Kilda Pier. Avoid coming to this establishment during the busy lunch rush on the weekend as you will be waiting your while for service; however in saying this: ordering the roast lamb pizza and receiving it (and being able to eat it without feeling too overly hungry in the end) within half an hour is an accomplishment in itself over the weekend. The prices are questionable, however we are probably paying for a premium beachfront location to eat instead of up nearby Acland Street. The pizza is worth it, although you will be able to find better value in Melbourne. The staff are fun and the music is a bonus during the weekend; not to mention the beautiful ambience and water views; extremely relaxed where you could just take the day in. The seafood is scrumptious, and the wine list is worth a look as well: just for a simple glass of red. Would I return here? Yes I would, maybe for breakfast at the beach on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning next time. read more

Republica St Kilda Beach - Bars Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

I've only gone here for drinks, but they're decently priced. If you're going non-alcoholic, the iced latte for $4.50 is a steal, given the location and views available. Right next to the beach, and ample outdoor seating. There's also live music some evenings. What more could you ask for? read more

The worst place to come for a new year drink.... understandably topically targeting Aussie culture as they drink to get wasted... I enjoy sipping on vodka or tequila near with fresh lime... they refused my drink added loads of ice and soda water... no straws... glasses dirty lipstick marks and I'm forced to these pathetic standards because of those whom can't handle their alcohol... do not recommend foreigners here... so BASIC read more

Gotta love a sunny spot with views of the ocean, breezes and swinging chairs! Get in early to score one of those chairs, or sit inside in the courtyard if you want less of the elements. The pizzas are decent (and super cheap on Monday's!) and I especially like the pumpkin one. The cider list is seriously lacking in quality options which is a shame, because I'd come here more often if they offered some locally produced numbers. I quite like coming on a weekday afternoon, ordering a big bottle of mineral water and sitting for an hour to do some work. There's enough buzz to keep me entertained, but it's quiet enough that I can get some quality work finished. read more

Meh. Came here with some co-workers on a long lunch hour per a colleague's recommendation. Yes, it's on the beach, so it's got good people watching. But the prices seem too high and the food didn't look that amazing. I consumed nothing but water and was very pleased with my choice. read more

Loved the live music my mum loves there special the fish and chips are manific omg

If you want a standard feed the pizza's are amazing! Dine in the food is just as delicious with amazing service and don't get me started on the afternoon view. Love spending a Sunday afternoon there. Highly recommend it. read more

Pruddy Good. It's really quite hard to tell the qaulity of a venuewhen you spend up to 7 hours in the one place. This is because it brings with it, a lived in feeling. The pizza's are great, and I have tried prety much every variety they offer. But of course being a beachside venue, there's all the other food favourites too. It's a pretty friendly, low key, simple venue, where you can be at ease without having to go to too much trouble. It's a pretty big venue space too. read more

Great view fun vibe ok food on the slow side for service. But waterfront so fun to go no matter. read more

Republica St Kilda Beach - Gorgeous views - Bars Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

This place is AMAZING in summer as it is practically beach on. With just a few steps to the sand the views are nothing but spectacular. But as such prices do reflect this don't expect pub prices. The food well I have only had the chips here so as far as they go well there chips if you can't get that right you probably should find another job! For $10 it's a big bowel and they were golden brown so thumbs up! read more

Awesome place with great view. Internal courtyard with a lot of tables. Food on average, we had a pizza that was good but not the best I have ever had (being Italians means having high standards on pizzas ahah). Anyway if you are a smoker you are allowed to smoke in the internal courtyard, and this is good. The only negative point is that there is no table service for the tables outside. Anyway recommended if you'd like to have a glass of wine or a beer in front of the sea :) read more

Amazing eggplant dip with Turkish bread. Also the cauliflower was to die for. The fire place and beach vibes are on point and a great place to catch the sunset with a snack and loved one. read more

Really bad cocktails. Ordered a piña colada and my boy friend a long island iced tea. We both finished our drinks in two sips. Long island ice tea is supposed to be mostly spirits, but this one was weak. Very disappointed to have spent 36 dollars on drinks read more

The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because this place is not for me. I went there for a birthday party in the afternoon and I felt like I was in Sydney -which I would never pick over Melbourne. But if you like to dress fancy in the afternoon and drink a lot of cocktails with your friends by the beach, yes this could be the best place for you. I had a bowl of chips, which was HUGE. We couldn't finish it with my friend. And I had the special pizza of the way. Which was also tasty. read more

Great Friday night chill. The bruschetta special was amazing. View over the bay is magical.

Service is slow on a busy Sunday and prices are a bit high for a casual breakfast. Had to wave to get attention from staff several times. The food was good but I would avoid this place if you are in a hurry and want a quick feed. read more

This beach is ok, but you can do a lot better not that far away. When I told the coffee shop guy that was where we were going he said, make sure not to step on a needle... True statement... Ew... Republica is average, ok food but nothing great. Nice outdoor seating if you want to watch the junkies and topless women (which I don't think is actually legal in this part of Australia). Weird experience overall... Also the bathroom is in a different building... read more

I went here for a drink before meeting family for dinner, and really enjoyed the relaxed yet classy atmosphere. I imagine it'd be a great place for Sunday afternoon drinks. read more

Amazing service, delicious cocktails! Their salted caramel parfait is TO DIE FOR!! Awesome vibe on a summers day but can get uncomfortably over crowded if you don't get in early. Salmon oysters are AMAZING!!!!! read more

Hot chocolate, mulled wine and apple crumbled. Everything I had here was extremely, awfully sweet. The sea view is genuinely beautiful, but no more than that. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Great beach views. Good broad menu with a few interesting twists. Good range of wines. I'll be back.

Excellent location and the staff are very polite. Pizza's are amazing. Great to walk in straight off the beach.

Have a glass of champagne right next to the beach enjoying sunset and go play with little penguins at st kilda beach when you are bored with human beings talking in the bar. What else can I say, this place have THE perfect location. read more

Location, good food, live music, great weather food prepared reason quick, fresh, no table service.. Pub style

Bootiful location. Good service. Reasonably priced drinks. Great staff. Consistently nice place to hang and bring new internationals to impress! read more

Great views and nice wine list. The service was friendly and informative. We tried the fish & chips and the ham appetizer and enjoyed both. There was live music on the patio just outside the restaurant which led to the start of a really fun afternoon. read more

Excellent environment, food, cocktails and staff. Would highly recommend. Great live music on the weekends.

The swinging cane chairs are the selling point for this place for me. Sitting out looking across the beach you feel like royalty. Royalty drinking beer and enjoying the sunshine. Went here on a quiet afternoon for a few birthday drinks and although it may get busy later on, we were happy to be the only ones occupying the outdoor area and had a great time. read more
