    For my 1000th review I thought I'd choose somewhere special, and the Flying Duck certainly is…read morespecial. A couple of years ago I celebrated my 30th birthday here and it was a totally fabulous night. I re-visited about a month ago for a casual dinner with friends. I have no idea how I first discovered this pub. I'm guessing one of my friends told me about it - and booking it for my 30th was simple and straightforward. Inside it's a very traditional looking pub which has had a bit of a renovation so it's quite classy, and outside there's a beer garden as well as a covered area which is what we used for my birthday. It was just perfect and made for a really fun night. When we visited recently, we enjoyed some drinks in the beer garden before moving inside for dinner. The menu is gastropub style and there's some really interesting sounded dishes on the menu but I went for the token chicken parma as it had been so long since I'd had one. While I wouldn't say it was the best parma I've ever had it was pretty damn good. Overall, this is a lovely little pub off the chaotic Chapel St which is well worth a visit if you're looking for a quiet catch up with friends.

    You would never just stumble upon this pub on a night out in Prahran. It is a little hidden gem in…read morea suburban area. All of a sudden walking past houses, you hear the chatter of the crowd in the beer garden before you lay eyes on the Flying Duck. I arrived at 7pm on a Saturday night and the place was packed, and pumping. There is a front bar, and a large outdoor beer garden. We were in a small function room for my friends birthday, which was quite intimate but a good size. I ate a quick bite for dinner, which was the fish and chips- a nice meal and I didn't have to wait too long on a busy night. Definitely will be heading back for another night at the Duck.

This is just not that kind of pub. It's early days yet but we're really pleased to have the sister pub to The Fox Hotel in Collingwood in our hood. Craft beer on tap by the pint or pot, a wall of others to choose from including the not so crafted VB - handy for those moments when Mr Sticki's Bush Brother comes to town. There's also a small wine list, spirits and single malt whiskies to tempt those who don't have a thirst for beer. You'll find hearty unpretentious food - snacks, burgers, mains, vegetarian and a kids menu too. I like the convivial atmosphere and a cosy yet vaguely shambolic decor spread across two rooms. There's a TV in one corner and pool table here too. Come as you are and try a brew or two or go up the street to Carma Cellars if you want a six pack of R2D's.

    This is another nice pub hidden away in the leafy back streets of South Melbourne (though since the…read moretram trundles by here fairly often, I am not sure if it is really all that out of the way). When I came here it was not all that crowded, though I suspect that does change as the night wears on. There are some seats out the front, as well as a restaurant, though no beer garden (but then again not every pub can support a beer garden, and there is some outdoor seating). It was interesting to hear the bartender tell a couple of girls how cabs don't like taking calls from pubs anymore because when they turn up half the time the patrons have all wondered off. Also, it has a pretty nice house beer.

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.
