Went with a group of friends to the Fitzroy location and played the 4 rooms in one night!! It was great to see 4 rooms incorporating with each other, yet all different in their own way. Had a great time there, the game master we had was fantastic! :) Grim Finale was a highlight. Highly recommend!!

The home of Carlton Draught, Carlton Brewhouse boasts a fantastic beer garden to enjoy brewery fresh beer, a great pub feed as well as memorable experiences with friends. There’s plenty of tables available in our beer hall, in our sunny beer garden, or in front of our giant 12-foot screen to watch every game of the AFL live & loud! We’ve got 10 draught taps pouring all your favourite CUB beers, as well as wine by the glass and classic spirits. Of course, it wouldn’t be a visit to Carlton Brewhouse without a brewery fresh pint of unpasteurised Carlton Draught straight from the tank. If you’re a Carlton Draught diehard, we’ve got plenty of merch in venue from all your favourite CUB brands including VB, Carlton Dry and Melbourne Bitter. Our bottleshop is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am and is stocked to the brim with bottles of CUB beer and cider. Carlton Brewhouse encourages you to enjoy responsibly.

James energy made the Brewery tour a fun experience though the highlight was definitely getting back to taste the beautiful food matched with Carlton beers. All the staff made it a memorable visit.

Such a refreshing place to relax and wonder around tucked away within easy access and short walk from public transport. I walked along thw Yarra trail and wondered around through the farm into the main compound. There arw several dining options taking care of varying tastes and budgets which were all very busy. Lentil as Anyhthing serves delicious meals based on an open menu and seasonal produce. Convent Bakery serves delicious bread, pastries, sandwiches etc. and the farm cafe also offer picnic packs. You can wonder around the expansive gardens and relax in this wonderful oasis.

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.

We have had a xmas function here for two years running, and it's a fantastic venue for around 50 people. Private function space is available upstairs, divided into two sections, one area with the bar and standing room, and the other with more seated areas (bathrooms are in between, two per binary). Finger food served was fantastic (peking duck rolls were a highlight), and good amount of bar staff for service. Located within meters of exiting East Richmond station.

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.

The biggest cricketing battle of the summer starts on Boxing Day, when Australia traditionally takes on the overseas visitors at the MCG.. For a batsman, facing an express pace bowler hurling a cricket ball at over 100 miles per hour (145 kms/hr) takes some courage. This year, the opponents are Black Caps (New Zealand). No-one doubts their courage, but on the bumpy Australian wickets, they may not quite have tthe right technique. For Australian cricketers, wearing the Baggy Green cap is the highest honour. Australia is on the comeback trail after a rough patch, it's bad luck that the Black Caps that they have caught the Aussies at their best. See a game at the MCG if you can, there's still viewing space to be had.
