Portland Hotel in Melbourne

The best place to watch Manchester United play football. Fantastic staff. Give them a try for yourselves. You won't be disappointed

Chicken Parma Tuesdays! Was absolutely yum. Good live music and great beer add to make it a swashbuckler. :D

Good service and the food was also very tasty. Unfortunately they threw away our leftovers when we asked them to put them in containers to go.They said sorry, it was a mix up but it was 2/3rds of a Chicken Parma uneaten and perfect to take home and eat. They could have comped it, or did something other than say sorry, our bad and still charge us full price for it.

Ordered a rare steak. It was paper thin and well done to the point of rubber. I ordered a Caesar salad as I was still hungry. It was a boiled chicken breast cut into 4 massive pieces. It was warm in some spot and cold in others, barely any parmesan and sauce on top of some cod lettuce. I didn’t even take a bite. An expensive waste of money.

Do you like beer? Do you like to drink it? Do you like to drink it out of a glass? Well good news, this place has beer that's drinkable and served in glasses. A truly rare experience that is not to missed.

Incredible food and service. You won't be disappointed if you dine here unless your a sook. Was so happy to learn they served The Wreck here as well as Sydney. Waited so long to try it. Seriously, the owner should be proud of such an establishment.

I had organised my Bachelorette in The Crafty Squire and my experience was really amazing. I enjoyed the night very much. All the drinks are refreshing and looking impressive. We don't have to wait for our table because I pre-booked 2 tables online So I think this saved my time. Fantastic customer service. Definitely, recommend!!!

Nice Place for lunch or drinks. Visited The Crafty Squire for a lunch with friends and was not disappointed with the food. The servings were large and good value for $20 (during lunch). They have a decent beer selection being a pub and the interior gives off a really good pub atmosphere. On the day we went it was not too busy for lunch so it may be worth it for a quiet ish spot to dine.

Went for lunch with my team during the week. Great menu selection, reasonably priced and good quality food. Will be going back again.

Nice ambience, with the TV showing the different games happening around. In terms of food, it was amazing and filling. Their bar is filled with options. I tried the apple cider, which was refreshing!

Nice venue for a meal or just a quiet drink. The upstairs dining are is spacious, and the food is very tasty. Plenty of James Squire beers on tap, and a few rotating options as well. Staff were very friendly. Entry via Little Collins.

Not a super busy place at lunch so we easily got a table (there were heaps left) and we got our food quite quickly as well. The portion of kangaroo fillet was good, however, it was a tad overcooked but only slightly. The flavours and the sauce was really good though. The potatoes and veg were cooked really well. Almost a perfect dish. A great selection of beers and friendly staff as well.

This is a bustling hub of activity. Well appointed and happily crowded. Great menu ,several different eating areas and lovely staff who are attentive and friendly. Food was beautifully done and I am more than happy to recommend this place. Would go again any time.

Their chicken parm is so good! Really great selection of beers too.

Cool place for a beer or two! Great live music. You also get to see the brew right at the store which was pretty cool considering the location is quite central. We got the pale ale and tropical ale from the tap.

Great food and atmosphere. Also wonderful service.

Great cosy atmospheric, good food, superb craft beers

Fun venue for large groups with friendly helpful service. Food is fresh and tasty. Great range of the James Squire range of beers.

Awesome vibes here, ace ping pong and pool table, but this review is because tonight our mate really injured himself there (clumsy boy and a few too many drinks) and the staff responded so wonderfully, helped clean him up and get us into an uber to go to the ER. They genuinely cared, dealt with the situation with calm efficiency, and were all in all, lovely people. Thanks guys :) for real, these people actually deserve a raise for how professionally they handled the situation.

Relaxed atmosphere with a bit of an Irish pub feel. Central location but a bit of a weird layout with three different uneven sections downstairs and another section upstairs. Interior is a little bland and could be jazzed up with some new furniture. A little frustrating you can only buy a pot or pint and not a schooner or jug. Avoid the popcorn chicken as was super oily and not cheap. Listened to some nice live acoustic music and staff were friendly. Cool that it is a verified Untapped venue and they brew on-site with a vast catalogue of tap beer to choose from.

Frienly staff, quick service, generous portions and tasty beer. What's not to like. We went there before a commedy show and they have a very convenient deal. Definitely recommended.

Visiting from Los Angeles great place to hang up with friends watching Chelsea's games. Food is great and lots of variety of beers. Will be back when come back to Melbourne.

Great company. Food fantastic loved the drinks. Great staff super friendly. Great advice.

As well as the traditional pub food items such as chicken parma and lamb pie they also offer more exotic meats such as crocodile sliders and wallaby skewers.The chicken parma is quite a large serve and can probably be share amongst two people especially if you are also having entrees and/or desserts.

Great people really accommodating. Beers were excellent. Lots of sports tv including NFL for international visitor's. Definitely a go too! The IPA was bit smoother without the additional hoppy beers I am used to in Bellingham. Great brew, sorry didn't try anything else.

Some good beers and a nice spot. Perfect for a quite drink with friends

Good selection of beers. Good atmosphere and easy prime location and easy to find. At the time of my dinner on a Tuesday night we also had live music. A few sections and rooms to choose from, pub area, bistro area, upstairs area and a pool table area.

Function held in the downstairs corner bar. Great access and a good bar well staffed.Easy to work with, food hot from the kitchen.

Called into the craft squire with some friends for a post dinner drink. The service was good, and my beer was alright. Nothing special really but a handy place if your in the area, but it’s not the kind of place I’d sit for a long time lol.Previous review November 2018 This place has been here for some years now and I haven't been here for a while so today I dropped in for a pre dinner drink. It's almost Friday and I thought well, it feels like the weekend and I am waiting for my partner to come for dinner so I can have a quick one hahahaI ordered an Interceptor BIPA Black IPA at 6.1% should come w a warning!! You will enjoy this and you will want 2!! HahahahaThe service was good and it’s worth a visit if you in the area.

Food: Didn't try. Just had drinks.Service: I ordered. They poured.Ambience: Pub. Few tourists around. Value: Don't remember.Was catching up with a mate so it didn't matter. But the whole time I felt we could have been somewhere else. Beer was good though.

Enjoyed using the QR code to order, but would have been nice of the system recognised the number of people on our table. Final meal came out as the first person was done eating

Good place for a beer and a meal. Great menu, lots of different options that get you away from the traditional pub food. Staff were great, garlic bread starter was huge, enough for four people easily.The reason for only 4 stars... the kangaroo was overcooked and the wallaby gnocchi was very salty.

Nice beer but my good it's loud in there. Hard concrete surfaces everywhere, you can have a chat if you shout at reach other.

Fun pub! Great beers selection. Unique food choices, which were fun, but the stuff we tried were heavily fried and the meat was a little dry. We'd definitely go back! The menu is pure Australia!!!

Great bar, nice and friendly staff, plenty of seating options perfect for people watching. Also has a pool table. Definitely recommend visiting and trying a few of the beer options

This is also called "James Squire" and their beer selection on draft is good. I recommend The Swindler Tropical Pale and the Jack of Spades Porter from their in-house brews. If you can get your hands on The Wreck Survivor's Ale (an imperial stout guest tap) then you better drink it. It's some world-class beer IMHO.

Very disappointed, chose this bar because they said they were showing the AFLW game. Thought I'd watch the Richmond girls play their first game. Had a couple of beers and a meal, which was really good, however none of the many TVs had the game on. Don't advertise and not follow through, ruined my night and I didn't spend any more money there as a result.

Went here for dinner and music. Had the Penne Putanesca which was delicious. Live music was good and a nice say to wind down after work.

Good food and beer. Accommodated a group of 8 at short (no) notice and put up with a raucous group.Staff friendly and helpful.Everyone enjoyed meals ranging from nachos to roo steak.

Great place for afterwork drinks. Staff are friendly. Pricey after happy hour, but still good vibe with the band

Accidently i clicked rating of 2 last year. Sorry to the owner.... maybe i was a bit drunkLovely place here 😎

Great watering hole to unwind with mates at the end of a tiring day. Good ambiance with live music.Loved the home brews and cocktails. Definitely going back. Good modern Aussie food as well.

Great beer selection. Great staff and food. If you're unsure of what to try, I recommend the flight of four tasting. My favorite was the pale ale!

Came here for a drink on a Thursday night. Nice vibe, plenty of seating and a great range of local brews, including their own James Squire brands. Had a guitarist playing who was really good.

If you’re after a causal, chilled out pub in the CBD with a good drinks selection, this is the place. A variety of beers on tap, I tried this cider on tap which was good, a crispy apple flavour, sweet enough. A decent pub food menu, with generous portions. Pictured here is the salmon on Waldorf salad and chicken Parma - which is a very generous size!

Visited after the tennis with a workmate. Felt like a bush pub. We loved it. Great atmosphere and great service.

Great place for corporate lunches etc fits a large number of people. The food is great and staff as well. Worth looking into the lunch specials while you are there too. The restaurant also has a nice ambiance. Would recommend!

Excellent pub food. Wagyu burger excellent.

We had a wonderful affordable lunch here today and we weren't alone. Lots of large work groups celebrating Friday. Service was great and coped well with a full house. Definitely a return visit.

The Delivery was pretty good but the way they went about it amazing!
