The Acorn Bar & Restaurant

Great little venue tucked away in the Basin at the foothills of Mt. Dandenong. Pub type dinner that caters for the family, then a live band kicks off at 8 pm and rocks out till late. The staff are very friendly and the owner is their cleaning the tables and serving the drinks, hes also a great bloke.

We went fr dinner on a Saturday and stayed to watch the band. The food was delicious and I could barely eat it all because of the large serving. Great atmosphere in the renovated bistro. Staff are friendly and the band was great. Danced the night away!

Really good vibes and cool venue, nothing against the establishment but definitely an older conservative crowd as my girlfriend was getting judged and pointed at for her outfit choice.

Great food and relaxed atmosphere. Also has a cool outside decking area. We we're here on a Wednesday and they have discounts on most meals.

Great place for a social dinner, there was live music which was fantastic also. The Parma was tasty and massive, highly recommended!

Awesome atmosphere, the band tonight was really good too....the food was really tasty and cooked well

Great little bar.
Drinks reasonable but the standout was the band\ stage area with perfect sound quality and level.

What a great hidden gem.
I am looking forward to returning soon.

Marvelous atmosphere friendly and helpful staff very enjoyable and great choices of beer

Great food , good live music, the place was rockin

We took our four year old there on Father’s Day to enjoy the band! He danced his little socks off. Very family friendly. Tony the owner is very welcoming, and the staff are lovely. We enjoyed the food too. They managed to squeeze us in to eat, despite us not booking and were very accommodating. We will definitely return!

a fantastic place to meet up with friends to have a drink or meal. Best pub in our area by a long shot!

Always a great place for fun, fun, fun. Our Christmas breakup party. Had a ball.

A lovely place to enjoy a live band and great food 😋

Great live music this afternoon with Electric Acoustic!

Went on a sunday lunchtime, sat out in the rear beer garden. Ordered drinks snd meals by table service. Had parma and chicken burger, cooked perfectly and big serves. Good service and food.

1st time at the acorn last night and what a wonderful experience. Tony is the most welcoming host and we felt at home from the moment we arrived. The band, Lost at Sea were fantastic and we would gladly be entertained by them again. So nice to try a new venue and have such a fabulous time. Clearly lots of regulars there of all ages and a great vibe all night. Well done Tony, we will be back and glad we found you!

Big thanks to Lisa and the team, we hosted a birthday party in the beer garden behind the venue and it was a great space. The team looked after us and provided great food and bar service and they were happy to help with anything. Would highly recommend.

The band Checkpoint Charlie were very entertaining with a great variety of music. So much fun.

My dear friend and I had the loveliest evening celebrating our 50th birthdays. The service was amazing and the staff were so helpful and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious and the prosecco was exquisite! I will be back again very soon. Great setting, great atmosphere! Thank you!
