Welcome Stranger Hotel

Great pizza, dim sims, chips with a beautiful thick gravy. Drinks are a great price and the venue is clean and comfortable.

Fantastic staff. Asked on a Friday for a small reserved area for a group of us (12) to spend the Sunday there in the TAB/bar area, to have a punt with food and drinks. Management made sure all was in order and tables were reserved with seating as requested, TVs were set for us to watch the sport and racing. A bar tab was able to be run for us and nothing was too much trouble. All of us had a great afternoon and will definitely be back again.

Enjoyed a family meal here with our 2 older kids. Pizza was yummy and senior meals were great sized and prices. Everyone happy would recommend. Good priced. 👍

Extremely hospitality, kind and courtesy to all.

Great friendly atmosphere.

Thankyou for the stay.

Manager, maybe Louise? could be Melbourne’s No.1 hospitality worker. Friendly, helpful, kind and brings a smile to faces. The heartbeat of what appears to be an exceptionally well-run establishment.

What an amazing place, the security guard, number 62 is the absolute best person. He’s a legend and is friendly and makes the place feel comfy and safe. 100% returning for another piss up with the goat

Place was great. Got to watch the state of origin. Security were friendly and very diplomatically handled a situation where an individual needed to be removed from the premises. Reasonably priced drinks.

Honestly one of the greatest places to have a piss up ever. Great atmosphere, great bar, great pokies, security guard #62 gotta be the greatest security guard to ever live. Will be returning for the next piss up

Big wins to be had…. If you make the right choice

Lovely place, great atmosphere and amazing and friendly staff.. they said we came to the right place and they were absolutely correct 😀 my partner and I visited and the staff made us feel welcome right from the start.. when I visit Melbourne again I will return 🙂

I did a trip back to Australia and found myself at Welcome Stranger many times over the last 6 weeks. The staff are fantastic! Very friendly and really take care of their customers. I was travelling solo so it was nice to be able to have a chat with them. Thank you and see you again!

A nice place to spend a night out having casual drinks with good company. Great priced drinks and decent food. (Find me a nicer spot where I can get a Chivas under $10 all night long)

Staff, especially Ming, made for a welcoming and friendly vibe that you don't normally find in gaming venues. The staff were friendly and chatty and the place hd a positive atmosphere.

Definitely looking to return and even take up a membership to get discounted drinks and food.

This place is lovely. I come here on Saturday to catch up with friends, have a meal a few drinks. Venue is spotless, staff are very friendly and helpful. They have big screen TVs for your sporting pleasure, TAB kiosk and a large gaming room. The thing I like the most is they have security there and I feel safe attending on my own. The food is good the drinks are cold and you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

A great experience at the Welcome Stranger yet again. All the staff are excellent but Crystal is the top!!!The chef is an excellent cook with a marvelous personality and smile.

The food is well priced and there's even a night menu.
Staff are friendly and chat about sports, which is always on the many TVs.
Clean and well lit. Comfortable environment. No rowdy patrons. Lots of pokies if that's your thing. Good selection of booze.

Staff members very friendly
Great place to have a few wines / beers and chill

Great place to walk in and have a meal and play pokies or keno or even just watch sport on multiple screens, meals were lovely
