AI Summary

Refurbished South Melbourne pub opposite the market, known for its bone-in parma and steak specials.

Bright, airy and lively after its refurbishment, with a fireplace, atrium and shaded courtyard. A classic Melbourne pub feel with a slightly more upscale market-side edge.

Reopened mid-2025 after a refit under new owners; multiple seating zones including kerbside, dining room, atrium and courtyard; upstairs function space; weekday happy hour; local beers and natural wines.

A traditional Australian pub menu of parma, schnitzel, roast and steak, with some modern Asian-leaning additions.

Weekly $30 parma-and-drink and steak-and-drink specials offer the best value; regular menu items and drinks are seen as pricey.
