The Pickle The Patty - Southbank

We go to the Market quite often due to it being around the corner from home. Staff are all lovely, drinks and food good. However they have live band on Friday which seems a bit too loud maybe something to do with acoustics. I wouldn't mind it later in the evening but 7.30ish seems a bit early.

Recommended to me by a local and wow. Without a doubt the best pub food I have ever had. Renowned for their steaks I chose the ribeye with a side of chicken wings to devour on a quiet Sunday evening. Chicken wings were cooked to perfection. Thinly coated in a light seasonal batter that was deeply coloured and addictive. On to the steak, which was superb. Melt in the mouth, the huge chunk of meat was ever piece delicious. Well seasoned again, spot on medium rare and so juicy I had the bone in my hand at the end to get every last morsel. As for the gratin probably the best I have ever had. Truly perfectly constructed, it was almost to pretty to put a knife through. Again, baked spot on. As for the hotel itself, it’s a classic old pub, well looked after and a comfortable place to be. Lots of different areas to sit depending on your mood and back by friendly staff albeit it was a very quiet Sunday evening. My meal was not cheap pub food by any means but then I didn’t get pub food either. I see why my friend says, for him, it’s the best pub in Melbourne.

We attended a function at the Market Hotel recently and I am pleased to say that the service we received was exceptional. From the brilliant finger food, to the amazing cocktails to the wonderful service from the team, I couldn't recommend the Market Hotel highly enough. We have since become regular customers and love everything about it! The ambience, service and food never fails to impress.

Lovely pub, we sat at a booth by the window. Extensive and reasonably priced menu, very much something for everyone. They also do a daily lunch deal from select blackboard menu items and a pot of beer or cider for $15. Wines between the $9 $10 mark by the glass. Great location to pop in after a market shopping trip.

Very nice fitout, plenty of menu options to choose from and we were both very impressed with our selections.<br/ Bar was pumping for a Thursday night staff did a great job.<br/ <br/ Good pub grub will be back for sure.
