I would call this a 'railway' pub namely because it is next to the Camberwell Railway station, which means to had pop in here either after you got off the train, or just before you jump on the train. Mind you, it isn't actually any good as a pub, and certainly not having the feel of its location. Basically it is one of those suburban pubs with a gaming lounge, a front bar, and a sports bar.

My plate came to me served with a schnitzel and side of carrot and asparagus only, I said to the waiter that this meal comes with mashed potatoe, and I also had gravy too. After it seemed to much of a hassle for the waiter who obviously didn't know there own menu and what came with what, I had to tell him to forget about it. He then after knowing my order was incomplete and that I was unhappy, said ok and left it at that. I was then left with an incomplete meal which cost me $18.. Just for a schnitzel and a few veggies on the side, not even any gravy. After being a regular who comes here at least once a week, a found this service ...read more
