How we read reviews →Balaclava's locals' pub with live music, creative cocktails and a big comfort food menu at affordable prices
A cosy, well-worn Balaclava pub with a large backyard, live music on Fridays, and open-mic nights. Warm and relaxed on weeknights, with energy ramping up on weekends. The mix of local regulars and backpackers gives it an inclusive neighbourhood feel.
Live music every Friday from 7pm. Open-mic nights hosted regularly. Large square backyard. Happy hour until 8pm nightly. Wheelchair-accessible entry with accessible bathroom. Daily specials (e.g. $20 Irish Parma on Wednesdays).
Modern Australian pub with a broad comfort food menu. chicken parma, calamari, burgers, pizza, seafood linguine. No specific national cuisine claim, which is honest for this format.
Generally good value. affordable drinks, daily specials, and a big menu. A few complaints about price relative to quality on some dishes, but the happy hour and weekly specials offer genuine value.
