Good music and a very hipster-esk clientel means its a very relaxed environment and for a smoker like me HEAVEN. They make a mean pizza and the cocktail jugs are a good price and decent. the toilets however were too small and the line a mile long but that was updated recently which is good. it needs a few other things but its a new cool layed back Been Garden which works well.

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.

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.

My wife's brother took us here for dinner. Now I'm not a…read morevegetarian, but whenever I go to a place that has a veggie burger on the menu I tend to order it. The reason for this is cause wherever I have been, if that burger is good, then everything else on the menu tends to be great. The reason I say this is because everywhere I have tried the vegetable burger, I go back and everything else is also amazing. But if that is not good, then everything else will be at best, mediocre. Well this was probably the best veggie burger I've had. My wife had a spicy chicken burger which she really enjoyed (same as my brother in law) and we also tried tater tots, poutine fries and jalapeno poppers. Everything eat great and I would definitely tell people to go try this place out. The only 2 things to mention is that it's very loud so it will be hard to have a conversation with friends, and that if it had rained before, avoid sitting at outside tables like we did add you will find slugs on the table or the wall and discover that they actually move pretty fast :p not to mention one was at the side of my cup and I discovered it as I went to drink. Fortunately this was at the end of my meal or it would have really ruined everything. So seriously avoid sitting outdoors or best the tree, if it has recently rained. If it weren't for these two minor things, id give it 5 stars. I can't really blame the establishment for this (although having some sort of outdoor covering could stop this issue).

Started with shared entrees that hit the spot... quail was spot on and lamb kofta was rare and tender. Mains were also of good quality, rib eye cooked to a 'real' medium state... thank you to the chef. The 'crispy skin' red snapper skin could have been crispier but the fish was cooked beautifully, so easily forgivable. Waiter was friendly but could have been a little more attentive (could've made a lot more from us if he was on to our often empty glasses!) All in all a nice new local for Toorak and Malvern folk. We will be back!

As a pub lover who lives in the area, I really look forward to coming back here.

The first time I was here I spent a lot of time consulting the spirit wall, beer fridge, cider area and so forth.

However, as the days have gone on, I've realized that I tell nearly every beer drinking friend I meet about this glorious hole-in-the-wall. Good: Tru Bru sells beer by the growler in three different sizes. Simply choose your bottle, choose your brew, and walk home happy. At the moment all taps are rotated daily, but soon there will be a few regular staples to expect. If you're not sure what you like, the friendly staff will pour you a taste of anything and everything they've got. Better: Tru Bru has fun, cheeky branding. Ask about the shirts and the store of the mare, the hare, and the bear. The staff are clearly very passionate both about the brand and the beer. Even though this side street spot is only big enough for maybe 10 people at most, it's bursting with personality and passion. Best: Not only are growlers eco-friendly, but they're much cheaper than buying booze by the bottle. Support local brewers, and local business, by drinking local. P.S. Beer is also available for delivery. BOOM.

They seated us upstairs in what can be an open air rooftop, or as in our case, a covered rooftop area with a fireplace. It was cozy and warm despite the awful weather outside. You use your phone to scan for the menu, and go up to the bar to order. The guy said the food might take a while since there was 11 orders coming in all at once, but really, it wasn't that long at all. Mine of course was one of the last (seems to be a recurring theme with me) but the guy was really apologetic and it wasn't a big issue. The food was delicious and filling. Generous portions for good prices. Everyone loved what they got, and even though it's a really casual, pub type of place, it was all well presented and everything was clean and made for a good lunch. I'd definitely recommend coming here whether it's in summer or winter as they cater for both, and it's in a good location with reasonably good parking. Really enjoyable.

In fact, I suspect that it is more one of those places that happens to be more a bar that tends to have bar opening hours. However, if you do end up here when it does happen to be open, then it is actually a pretty good bar. That probably has a lot to do with the number of craft beers on offer, and honestly, when it comes to craft beers then I am all over the place. Well, that is probably why I ended up giving this place the score that I have. Yeah, awesome bar.
