Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
The National Hotel is now the new republic for the people of Richmond. A place for people to come together in their own community - where the architecture, like the staff, is proud to serve.

Spent Sunday evening at this Pub with Asian and international flavours. I really wish they lose the burgers on this menu as the Asian food is so beautiful, you just want more of it. Ambiance, gas fire, dog friendly sooo good. Staff excellent, all round excellent.
2. Barkly Gardens

Barkly Gardens were opened in 1867, making it one of the earliest gardens in Melbourne -- it is the only residential garden square in Richmond, although they are not uncommon in London, England. The gardens are quiet and elegant and amazingly they are only a few hundred yards (meters) from busy Swan St. Dogs are welcome, on-leash and off-leash. The BBQs are popular with families, as is the newly-renovated playground area. Barkly Gardens are a blessing in this heavily built-up area, and are a marvelous resource for strollers and families.

Swan Street is a great spot to discover. Many of the traditional pubs have been renovated and reinvented (some better than others) and there are heaps of great restaurants and coffee shops. It’s a great area to go to after the footy too. Public transport is plentiful with Richmond and East Richmond train stations close by and the number 70 tram running along Flinders Street to the sports entertainment complex of the Tennis Centre/Rod Laver Arena/MGC/soccer stadium and Swan Street.

Went with a mate to catch up for a beer. The Royston has great selection of different craft beers and is a great spot to grab a drink.
5. Victoria Street

Any Melburnian will tell you that Victoria Street is the prime place to go for good Vietnamese food plus a range of other Asian cuisines. It's a fairly gritty street but it rarely disappoints in my experience. There are some fantastic and generally very reasonably priced restaurants on this strip. In addition, there's lots of life and colour here. An iconic area.

This is a popular location for sporting teams (who have preference to the oval for training and games), dog lovers and families with a great playground and bbq area.

O'Connell Reserve is a green area that adjoins the Yarra River, near Bridge Rd. It gives access to the Yarra River Trail. It's good for bike riders, there is also a mooring for small boats. It has two rotundas and drinking fountains. By the way, if you want to hold an event, you can get a permit from the City of Yarra.
