Railway Hotel South Melbourne

My local! Always good food and good service. The menu and taps are always exciting! I love coming here with my partner and friends. we always feel comofortable and welcome.

The last time I came past this pub it was closed, but that could be because it was either being renovated (as is happening with a number of pubs around the place) or it was simply closed over the New Years break (which is quite odd for a pub). However, this time it wasn't closed, so I stopped by for a beer (which was always going to happen). It was quite fortuitous that it was happy hour when I arrived, which meant pints for half-price, so I ended up getting a Coopers Pale Ale (though there were quite a few other fine beers available). There was quite a nice beer garden out the back, though half the tables were reserved for special people, and the rest were occupied. Fortunately I could sit on the edge of the garden. There were also a couple of really cool looking chairs inside.

This pub is my local and is always great. The staff are super friendly and the food pumped out from the kitchen is wicked.

The courtyard is a ripper - I reckon it's Melbourne's best.

One of the best of the old school pubs going around, with a really comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, unlike a lot of the newly developed places. Had dinner there and it was awesome, a great menu with lots of variety, I had the Rib Eye and it was cooked to perfection. This place also has one of the best and biggest beer garden's Ive been in, which is tucked out the back, with a single massive tree providing some shade when the sun is pelting down. There are heaps of beers on tap to choose from, and the staff are very friendly. Would recommend anyone and everyone to get down to the Railway.
