Actually, it is quite a decent pub, especially if you want to spend some time watching the footy play out, which was the case with me at one time. Okay, it isn't one of those pubs that really stands out in that regards, but they do have some decent beers available, and they do have the footy onscreen. While it isn't one of those places that I would go out of my way to visit, it still serves its purpose quite well.

You go to your table, choose what you want to eat and go up to order. We did notice food was coming out fairly quickly, but also seemingly randomly considering the way we saw people go up to order. Our meal took way longer than expected, but it was enjoyable when it finally came. The chicken kiev was perfectly golden brown on the outside and the fries were great, and while the rice was lovely, I didn't feel it fit the meal. With that said, everyone liked their meal and I'd come back here again for another casual meal be it lunch or dinner. They have their own on site parking out the back, or there's plenty out front. The food is well priced and the service is friendly enough. Give this a go!

I personally liked it actually, though I suspect that it was because the service wasn't bad, they had some good beers available, and there was a beer garden out the back. While it might not be one of those pubs that really stands out in my mind, it is still a rather pleasant place, and it certainly isn't like the pubs out in my area. Having good beers on tap also helps quite a lot, and this pub certainly succeeded in this regard.

No, I'll say this place is awesome because of the atmosphere, or more specifically, the interior decoration. Any pub that goes the Sistine chapel on the roof is a pub that I'm going to love. Yeah, paintings on the cealing of the main bar - awesome. That certainly takes some effort, though probably not Micheangelo levels of effort, considering when we live. Okay, no beer garden, but I guess I can't have everything, though they do have seating out the front.

It's on Racecourse Road right near Newmarket station, so it's easily accessed by locals and visitors alike. Sitting outside is not the most relaxing experience, with constant traffic, trams and the occasional beggar asking for spare change, although it beats the dark interior. But the real reason I'm not a fan of the Doutta was the service - I had the chicken burger, and while they were quick to charge me an extra dollar to swap the side of chips for a salad, they forgot to deliver on this and I had to send it back. Also on the wine list, they just had the grape and the brand, which is not very useful if you're not familiar with the brand, so I had to ask which region the bottles were from. The staff were clueless and had to pull each bottle from the fridge to check. The food was fine, but I get the feeling the Doutta is more about striving to be a nightclub than a local pub.

I've visited this pub twice now. My friend, a running enthusiast, and her group use this place as…read morethe go-to spot for pre and post running gatherings. It's your typical pub setup, but don't let the exterior fool you; the room is much more spacious than it appears, easily accommodating 100 people. They boast an impressive array of beer on tap-- at least 10, or maybe more (I lost count). I was particularly thrilled to find my recent favorite, 'Wood & Stone.' On the culinary front, I tried their 'Chicken Kiev,' and it was a feast for the senses. Picture fried chicken with mashed potatoes and a corn cob. Every bite was a mystery of addictively delicious flavors, with crispy yet non-oily chicken, a seasoned breading, and flavorful mashed potatoes--perhaps with added stock. The staff deserves a shout-out--attentive, prompt, and friendly. Despite being a bit off the CBD path I usually tread, discovering a gem like this pub is a delight. This place is definitely a keeper!

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.

It's served with ham under the melted cheese and it's served with chips (fries) instead of pasta. It was quite tasty and as you can see, the piece of chicken was huge. I also ordered a resiling, which was good and paired well. I had a lot of issues paying with "The Pass" app at this establishment. I was also supposed to have $10 paying with the app, which I see now, did not apply. You also do not interact with your server much at all. You order off the app, and then wait for someone to bring out your beverage and then possibly someone else to bring out your food. Food was quite good, but the app (which is the city app) is very faulty!

A happy environment is key to having a great experience. The Bouzy Rouge didn't let me down. The dining area is sleek and comfortable. Enormous cushioned seats that stick out of the walls and hanging chandeliers give it a sense of luxury but the service is friendly enough to make the setting more about ease and comfort than a rigid dining experience. I'm a sucker for calamari so I usually have that to start, it's chilli salted and comes with aioli and lime. Its fresh and spicy and for only $17 I never bat and eyelid when ordering. I usually share a main, last time my partner and I worked our way through the beef cheek braised in red wine with asparagus and polenta ($30). It's soft and rich, and perfect on a cold night. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to drink at Bouzy Rouge yet as I am usually the driver. But I'm setting aside an occasion where I'll be able to sample the wine menu and let you all know what I think.
