Mr Scruff's

Being Smith St Collingwood, parking is atrocious and traffic heavy. But that is what you expect in many busy built up areas. Inside it is an arty place with very different decor. Now drink prices are fair and what you expect but you would not come here for a beer or wine alone. Naahhh! This place is famous for its burgers and from the minute you walk to your seat and see the range of sauces on every table, you realise that they want you to be happy. Service is friendly and relatively fast for what is a busy place in their peak times but oh my gosh what a burger. But on Wednesdays they advertise half price so I will go back as they have great burgers. The fries etc are, however, a bit too expensive and the only complaint I have

At first I thought this pub was awesome, but for some reason that feeling started to rub off the longer I stayed here. Okay, it is one of the very few places that I've discovered that has a happy hour (which means $5.00 schooners of craft beer which is pretty good in my opinion), and it has a resident DJ, as well as some really cool dcor, or should I say graffiti art, on the walls. The front smokers cage gets rather crowded, however the back room is pretty spacious (and I believe it even has a dance floor). However the one part I loved is the beer garden out the back called 'the Yard'. Aparently they also do som pretty good burgers here as well, but I have to say that I didn't pick that up when I came through here to me it just looked like your typical inner-city bar. As I said not bad, but I quickly wore off the place.
