Known forChicken ParmigianaBeef & Guinness PieCorned BeefPloughman's plate
A proper English-style underground pub on Collins Street serving honest pub food and a solid range of beers. Order the Chicken Parmigiana, Beef & Guinness Pie, steaks, or the Ploughman's plate—all consistently praised. One note: food can take a while to arrive during busy periods, and at least one reviewer received a half pie instead of a full one.
