Crappy tourist trap. Aimed at the after-work drinks crowd, not beer folks. Does get some unusual Eurolagers on tap though.

There’s nothing here you wouldn’t find in any good bottle shop but that still puts it a notch above most Australian city bars. It’s central and comfortable and fairly hard on the wallet. I spent most of a Melbourne Cup week in here a couple of years back, so I have a soft spot for the place. The food is pretty good by pub standards. This is certainly not a pub to seek out, but it’s a decent fallback if you’re in the area and feel like blowing a few bucks on the more obvious Belgian ales.

Why am I rating this place? Oh yeah...f#^$ tourist trap so I guess I’m trying to do the beer geek market a service. The best I could do off the taps was a $10 Grimbergen Dubbel. Still, served in a nice Chimay chalice. Fairly crap bottle list that concentrates on the Fosters imports (Stella, Hoeggy, Belle Vue etc) and doesn’t get too exiciting. Perhaps the pick is the Schneider Edelweisse? Nice enough inside with plenty of seating, upmarket fitout without going over the top. Staff, generalyy, have SFA idea about the beer but no real surprises there. Food offerings look ok but I have not tried. Pass.
