    Steak night - $18 Porterhouse, fries and coleslaw salad
    Staci B.

    Sadly my first visit to The Terminus did nothing for me. Looking like a classic old pub, you walk in to a modern interior, but thankfully not your sterile gastro pub look like too many old to new pubs seem to adopt. There also looks to be an interesting outdoor area, however being one of those classic Melbourne Spring nights (ie single digits and freezing!) we chose to remain indoors. So fit out - tick! We had come for the star of the night - Steak Night (Tuesday and Thursdays). $18 Porterhouse (a miniature version of their normal Porterhouse on the menu) with fries, your choice of sauce and "salad". The salad was a coleslaw type mix that might excite others, but for me, I was really needing some crisp green leaves to counteract a heavy steak and fried potato. Had the coleslaw salad been the only downfall I would have been happy, but sadly, the steak followed suit. I chose mine with the mushroom sauce and colour wise it looked like it was cooked as I asked, however it was so chewy and sinewy there wasn't too much else to taste and the sauce was also rather underwhelming. My hands actually had indents from me gripping the fork and knife so hard to be able to cut through this piece of meat. Having to work so hard for ones meal is not my idea of a fun night, even if the arm workout builds those guns... The service was so so, but not great enough for me to give them any more than one star - an example of which being when our plates were collected, we weren't asked how our meals were (which would have allowed me the opportunity to explain the pile of inedible meat leftover) and were dismissively asked if we wanted dessert from a sniffling waitress. All in all, a rather disappointing meal. I will likely venture back to the Terminus to investigate it's outdoor area and enjoy a drink in the sun when it warms up, but can't see me ordering food again.

    Thursday night Parma night with chicken Parma only 15 bucks. Great savings on the mid 20s price of other nights. There is heaps of seating and the multi level beer garden means there are plenty of options for indoor/outdoor dining/drinking.

    I now understand the meaning of the word serendipity. I had typed 'The Terminus Hotel' into Google Maps and instead of taking me to the one in Clifton Hill, it took me to this pub. I never knew that there was a Terminus Hotel on Victoria Road, so not only did I put it onto my to do list, but pretty much bumped it up to the top (namely because I thought I had already had a beer at each of the pubs on Victoria Road). I suspect the reason that I didn't know about it was because it was being renovated, and I must say they have done an awesome job. My favourite part was the beer garden - it had two levels. Then again all of my favourite pubs have awesome beer gardens. Okay, it was a little crowded, but not so crowded as to make it nigh impossible to find a seat (or move about, as I experienced when I was in London). Mind you, that was probably because I was there on a Thursday night. This is one pub that I definitely want to return to, simply so I can have a meal.

    Service was good, drinks were great and they have Carlton beer delivered fresh from the brewery which apparently tastes better- I'm not really a beer girl so didn't try it.

From the moment you walk in, there's a buzz that makes the place feel alive without being overwhelming. It strikes a great balance between upscale and relaxed, making it perfect for a date night or a fun evening out. The warm lighting and eclectic design add to the charm and make you want to linger. Service was friendly, attentive, and well-paced throughout the night. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu, checked in on us at the right moments, and made the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming. Every dish we ordered was excellent -- not a single miss. We started with the Cauliflower & Mozzarella Croquettes, which were crispy on the outside and perfectly creamy inside. The Grilled King Prawns were flavorful and cooked just right, while the Kingfish Ceviche was fresh, bright, and beautifully balanced. The Stracciatella & Heirloom Tomatoes was simple yet outstanding, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. For mains, the Duck Breast was cooked perfectly and full of rich flavor, and the Lamb Backstrap was tender and well-seasoned. The Pecorino & Ricotta Ravioli was comforting and delicate, while the Seafood Linguine stood out with generous portions of seafood and a beautifully balanced sauce. The Honey Glaze Carrots were the perfect side -- sweet, savory, and executed flawlessly. Overall, State of Grace delivers on every level -- ambience, service, and food. An exceptional spot that lives up to the hype, and one we'd absolutely return to on our next visit to Melbourne.

It's the decor from extravagant chandeliers to deer heads with pearl necklaces; it's beautifully eclectic. I had an old fashion and it had the right mix of orange and bitters. I also ordered the burger which was decent and the fries were hot and crispy. The night I visited there was a live singer playing tunes. Service was quick and friendly. Even the ordering is eclectic as you order electronically (QR) pasted to a library book. This place is worth a visit.

It's one of our 'footy pubs' that me and my mates frequent before and after games - a 10 min walk to the MCG seemingly scaring off the bogan throngs that must filter in places closer to the ground. Staff is always friendly and welcoming, it's vibrant without being too busy, and the pub grub has never let me down yet. Ideally they would add a few more taps and beer variety, or at least rotate more frequently to mix things up, but it's a small complaint.

And this place left me with high expectations for any other one that I will come across. Only open on Fridays and Wednesday's, I came here for one of their free brewery tours (6:30pm). Did I mention that they are free? Winning! We arrived early, and found a table. I knew exactly what I was coming here for; beer and pizza; such a beautiful combination. Taking advice from the bar-man, we ordered the pizza that had ham on it. Now, because the tour was going to be starting soon, we realized that we wouldn't have had enough time to down our drinks and our pizza. The staff were so kind, and delayed putting our pizza into the oven until we finished our tour. The tour was great! Very informative, you get to learn about their process, and how they go about beer the "goat way". The ham on the pizza was just a tiny bit too salty for my liking, but I won't hold that against them. I'll just self note it to myself to try something different the next time. This place got crowded as the night progressed. We saw some bicyclists come in, and even saw some families here enjoying their pizza. Side note: Their Steam Ale- it's organic!
