Nice pub setting. Moved to the area this month for work and enjoyed the salt and pepper calamari. Was very fresh and portion for the price was great.

The main meals that other colleagues had were huge and looked tasty also. Will be back to try other meals.

Great place for a pint or two.
Seats inside, outside and upstairs.
Great craft beer and meals. (although I only tried the brew! 🍻)

I love this place! It’s home to the James Squire Brewhouse!

If this is your first time visiting, go for their paddle. The friendly staff behind the bar will help you with the selection and always get their recommendations right. Ever since I’ve come here, I’ve been hooked with James Squire cider. No regrets!

They have great chips (and a generous portion!) if you fancy munching on something while enjoying your drink.

In one of our visits, we decided to go for their main course options, and we ordered the Chicken Parma ($31) + Fish & Chips ($29). Both came hot, and freshly made. Great portion, and excellent tase.

This place is never a disappointment. Love it!

On our way to a show on 27 October, we walked into the Crafty Squire where we were served by CASEY, who had to check the menu from outside as it was not showing the vegetarian option that was on the outside menu. He apologised and helped with something else on the menu. He was very kind and considerate. Although I am not a vegetarian, I often opt for it as a choice.

Our meal was great, thank you to the chef.

While enjoying our meal, it was a real pleasure listening to the music from ADAM TARDREW. He was very good at continuing the music over from song to song, making the songs flow as one. We totally enjoyed his type of music play.
It was a nice atmosphere that bought us back a few years too. Loved it!
Happy guy, and he was delighted when i said we enjoyed his songs. Great job, TCS. Nice to listen and see someone play..

The service by the gentleman named James was second to none. He was busy all night but still managed to make it feel like he could be available to help at any time. I ate the chicken burger with the hot sauce and it came out surprisingly fast, despite ordering after the dinner rush. The sauce wasn't too hot, the chicken wasn't over done, the bacon was crispy. I was very impressed! Don't even get me started on how good the drinks were! I can't fault the service tonight and it's safe to say after James' effort I will return. Well done legends!

Perfect pre gig experience. Great menu options though we played it safe with nachos and caesar salad, easy and delish. Cocktails were ace. Loved the simple online ordering. We were upstairs by the main bar. As someone sensitive to noise, I was surprised that despite being busy and loud, the atmosphere was still somehow really relaxed and fun. I bet in no small part due to the great bar staff. We'll be back!

Was looking for a place to have some steak and watch the Australian Open and I'm so glad I came here. Visited at lunch time on a weekday, ordered a 250g rump steak with mushroom sauce & a glass of shiraz. Costed $49.50 cash, would've been more on card, high surcharge. Steak was cooked well, sauce delicious, nice dressing on the salad, and fries were crispy and seasoned well. Wait was only 15 mins. Tall bar stools have backs, accompanying high tables with foot rest so it's very comfortable. All staff serve you with a smile. Place felt very comfortable, welcoming and safe. Upbeat chill music. There's a 'pub classics lunch special' - $22 on Mondays to Thursdays 12pm to 3pm. You can order from the table via QR code if you prefer, which also states that if you're in a group and everyone orders within 3 mins, the food will be served at the same time. I went back again the week after and the Parma was also delicious! Wait time even less this time barely 10 mins. Toilets decent, stocked toilet papers and paper towels, working soap dispensers, no clogged bin. Next time I'll have to try dining on the other (bigger) sections, place is huge!

Always a nice pit stop on our shopping trips in Melbourne.
Thanks to Casey for being a friendly face among the busyness of the city.

The vibe is great for a night out or catching up with friends. City pub with a great atmosphere. The perfect place for a lunch break or an after work drink/meal. The place is very cozy, clean, and the service is excellent. They make a great chicken parma.

Eat here every year for our annual Xmas lights weekend. Always sit outside, easier with small children who love watching the passing cars. This year, particularly want to express sincere thanks to the lovely young man who sorted out the order I had messed up. Meals arrived promptly and were delicious. Your courtesy and understanding was much appreciated. Highly recommend.

Great pub. Great sports atmosphere. Guy behind the bar gave me a free coffee because I was designated driver. Awesome! Ribs and nachos 100%

Great spacious pub with live entertainment sometimes. I dined on the terrace which is great for a casual work lunch on a sunny day. I ordered the salad, which was big, healthy and delicious! Lovely customer service with a smile!

First time to venue for a function. My appetite was creating a lot of noise. Ella was the saviour! First with rice paper rolls, then followed beef pies (x2) & calamari. Oh my god, Ella saved the day. Great service, friendly nature & excellent function manager material. Thank you Ella

Love this place, go there before the AFL Grand Final every year.
Attended again yesterday, food is pub fare and excellent. Had the Lamb pie, was just so good.
Beers offered are different styles, but tried and loved the Winters Day dark ale. Now on my preferred beers list.

I have been a patron of this bar for a couple years now and I always find the staff excellent! I had my first issue with their food today (it came out cold but the place was very busy with multiple Christmas functions and other private events) I hesitantly mentioned it to the staff saying I didn’t mind too much as it’s busy and they didn’t have the ability to refund through the app I ordered on. The manager went above and beyond to sort it out. Can’t praise the staff here enough

Thank you for your kindness and the beer is really good in Melbourne. Wanna go until I taste all of the beers in here.

The amazing and dynamic lunch!! Many traditional pub meals are affordable prices only in lunch time. I will try again in lunch time

Great place for a drink or four with friends and family. The beers are spot on, got to say I loved the alcoholic ginger beer best!

Great. Classy but cosy. Great staff, honest food, large beer selection. Cool ambience over 3 or 4 bars. Yep, go here.
