One of the few places in Australia that has felt like a Pub" rather than a bar. Atmosphere is amazing

A really sad about this one. My first ever visit to Melbourne in 2017 this was my favourite pub. Unfortunately, it seems that something has changed.The vibe just doesn't feel the same as it was before. We ended up only staying for 1 drink.

After enjoying our time at The Rooks Return a few months ago, me and my friend decided to go back last night after having some food at El Camino Cantina across the road. We picked up a sombrero on the way out and carried it in our hands instead of wearing them.In the Rooks Return, we were asked to give them the hats and they were taken away from us even though we weren’t wearing them. My friend asked why and we were told they don’t want ‘that type of crowd’ in the bar.Feeling very unwelcome we asked what whisky’s he recommended and were told it was everyone’s first shift that night and he didn’t have one to recommend, but he was the manager. As he turned around to read the names on the bottles, we left.We won’t go back again because the attitude of not wanting paying customers in the bar due to discrimination is simply not acceptable. I left an extra star for the first good experience we had had.
