Not much more to add, go! This little Irish pub is worth all the hype.Try and time your visit when live music is on.Easy to combine a Queen Vic Markets visit and a drop-in pint of Guinness.

Cute and slightly dingy (but in a charming way!). There was a great Irish band when I was there, and they have Guinness on tap.

Great pub. Friendly staff. However if you are a visiting musician looking for a session I would NOT recommend this session on Fridays. Great players but the most UNFRIENDLY bunch. They didn't even acknowledge my presence...and I'm a professional who can play.

There's a reason for them being the only pub, in the top 10 Irish pubs, outside of Ireland! Fabulous decor and style for a small pub. Live music showcases wonderful local talent, especially Irish bands.You are there for great affordable drink, nibbles and atmosphere ... and the live music and friendly patrons!Thankfully, NOT your ubiquitous typical sports / gambling pub!

This bar is one of the most consistent and loyal supporters of original music and art in Melbourne, all musicians love the poet. You're always guaranteed a fun night out. A cozy relaxed bar with live music most nights.

Voted into the 10 Best Irish Pubs In The World (Outside Ireland) by The Irish Times, and the only venue in Australia to make it to the list. It has every reason for me to come here for a good Magners.Small space, with a very cozy environment, and super friendly staff... They have a good selection of beers and aren't bothered with food options... which is less drama!One of my favourite spots in Melbourne.

Great little Irish pub. They don't do a lot of food (Toasties, crisps, and nuts). We went on a Sunday for the afternoon music session which was fantastic. Great vibe, great staff. The owner/manager there has been at it for 16 years, which is nothing short of a miracle given the energy she flies around that bar. I highly recommend dropping in for a Guinness

It is a narrow space once inside and a little on the dark side at night however has a nice area to sit out front and really friendly bar staff. Overall has a cool vibe and decent drinks options. This may be a better option for an afternoon beverage.

A pretty little bar near Flagstaff gardens. Had a red wine (shiraz) and a Gin and Tonic. Bathrooms were okay, but the ambience took our breath away. Must visit for a drink once.
