Your west side local for great food, cold beer and good company.

The best locals aren't just where you stop for a drink.

They're where celebrations begin, weeknight dinners become long conversations, and there's always room for one more at the table.

From perfectly cooked steaks and seasonal favourites to thoughtful wines and a pint poured just right, we're proud to be part of the Footscray community.

Come in and make yourself at home.

Christmas is coming... six months early. 🎄

Pull on your ugliest Christmas jumper, round up your favourite people and join us for a midwinter feast this Saturday night.

One night only | Saturday 25 July

🍽️ 2 Courses | $50
Choose your main:

🦃 Turkey Ballotine with cranberries, potato dauphinoise & bread sauce
or
🐷 Italian Porchetta with cauliflower gratin, apple purée, winter slaw & pork jus

Finish with warm Panettone pudding and our house-made custard.

Exactly what winter ordered.

Book ahead or walk in. Special menu available while stocks last.

We're big fans of good locals.

The ones with two legs... and the ones with four.

If you're dropping in for a drink, lunch or catch up with westside locals, there's nothing better than bringing your well-behaved mate along for the outing.

After all, pubs are about bringing people together. Here's hoping there's always room for our four-legged locals too. 🐾

Dogs in pubs? Yes or no? 🐶🍻

A draw was all we needed, and the Socceroos are through to the knockout rounds.

The next challenge kicks off at 4am next Saturday, and we'll be opening early so you don't have to watch it from the couch.

If the atmosphere from our last early opener is anything to go by, you'll want to be here.

Bookings are recommended, with walk-ins always welcome if there's room.

See you before sunrise. 💚💛⚽
