Royal Oak

Old-school Richmond local with generous pub meals, cold beers and late-night opening on Bridge Road.

A proper old-school Australian pub that feels like Bridge Road's counter-meals era has not ended. Classic layout with a bistro section, bar area with pokies and TAB, and reliably cold beers. The kind of neighbourhood local where regulars are greeted by name and the chef comes out to say hello.

Open until 3am Mon-Sat, TAB on-site, pokies, Tuesday two-parmas-for-$33 deal, chef Russell personally visits tables and greets regulars, tram stop directly out front, long-term corporate group dining history

Classic Australian pub. the culture is the point. Counter meals, pokies, TAB, cold beer. No pretence of being anything other than a well-run neighbourhood hotel.

Good value for inner-city Richmond. Tuesday parma deals are excellent. Regular parma and schnitzel pricing is competitive, and reviewers consistently pair quality food with reasonable pricing as a strength.
