If I hadn't had looked up at a specific time, I would have completely missed this place. However, I…read moredid, and I saw it, so when I was on my way back, I jumped off of the tram to check it out. Well, it is certainly worth checking out because as a pub it is actually pretty cool. They have quite a nice courtyard out the back, and just an all-round relaxing atmosphere. Oh, and they also have some rather nice beers on tap as well.

I liked the place, particularly since it is by the beach, and you can pretty much walk from the beach straight in here, though sometimes I do get the impression that there probably is a dress code. Still, this place isn't all that bad, and is certainly worth coming here for a beachside beer.

I ended up discovering this place through a bit of trial and error. Anyway, I eventually get here and I was suitably impressed. Not being on one of the major roads means that this place is a lot quieter than normal, though there was a function out in the beer garden. Personally, I quite liked it, and would have not problems coming back another time.

It can sit about 300 with a large bar area or host 15 to 20 stands during a promotion event inside. There is a sizeable outside area that has vehicle access and can be used for vans or cars used in the event. There is limited street park and very close to the Alfred hospital so parking can be difficult. There quick access from trams on St,Kilda Rd or buses in Punt Rd. This is a great place to hold the right function.

Situated next door to the now "Project" (ex Belgian Beer Garden Bluestone), it's close to tram's so getting there is a breeze from Flinders Street. I went on the day they hosted Pinot Pallooza, so it was squishy, take away the stands and red wine and it would be a beautiful place for any event.

Then again, I doubt you would see an awesome Salvadore Dali and David Bowie poster in a one star pokie machine infested pub. However, the Pier is maginificent, and certainly one of my favourites in the area. Along with the really cool posters (and other stuff), they have a good selection of beers, and a great lounge area out the back. Definitely a place I'd try again (which is what I have done, if only to sit out the back staring at the huge poster of David Bowie).

The handful of outdoor street-side tables and couches are a perfect spot for enjoying a cocktail or a jug of pimms after spending the day at the beach. The pink cucumber martinis while a bit girly are delicious as is the strawberry and chili caipirinha. There is also an extensive wine menu. The food is solid, typical Australian gastro pub fare (a mixture of steaks, roasts and Asian fusion salads). Prices are high---not great value for money, but you're paying for the bay side location. I usually get the tasty Vietnamese salad which comes with marinated grilled steak. All in the Pier is one of the better all day drinking/eating beachside establishments in Port Melbourne.

Well, it certainly did because I found that the service was not just good, it was pretty good, and the menu options were quite nice as well. Actually, so was the pot of tea. Yeah, this place was actually rather charming, and I certainly am quite glad that we decided to come here.

In summer it is a great place to relax with the parrots and other bird life. In winter a spot by the fire is sort after, and a warming experience, but i still prefer the balcony with heaters. Stonehouse Cafe is a family run business and located in a historical building. The menu has traditional European and modern Australian cuisine and i can recommend the chicken burger. Filling and fill of flavour and juicy chicken. They do coffee well and the cake cabinet is tempting, look at your own risk. The staff are fast and friendly and I would feel confident recommending this place to locals and tourists alike.

This is the 'Go To' place for Western suburbs people, after dinner, the movies, or for a night out…read more Secretly tucked upstairs, many people would not know it was there. It originally started many years ago as a cigar and wine bar, but the non-smoking rules came in to challenge their popularity, but this quality has survived the change and prospered. They have a seriously good wine list, all carefully selected, a small but tasty food menu including tapas and pizza and live music on Saturday nights. The cocktails are top quality and all bar staff, as expected, really know their stuff. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a fireplace and Chesterfield lounges mixed in with some eclectic tables, chairs and stools. This place is simultaneously great for groups, small parties or even a date night. Go before 9pm on a Saturday night if you wish to secure a table as it gets really busy, or just prop yourself up at the bar and mozy on down to the dance floor and bust a few moves..

My cousin who lives in Melbourne, who was hosting me at the time, took me to this place as he said it was one of his favorite places just to listen to music and hang out. The lounge/bar has a very intimate feel to it, as it's quite dark inside. At the time we went, there was live music, and I am always open to hearing new genres. The place is a large lounge with ample seating for dining, hanging out, and of course just having some good drinks. Maybe this was just me but the drinks did seem to be on the steep side for a place not even in the CBD but more on the edge of it. I'm not sure if it's because I was still adjusting to the price shift or if this place was really pricey.
