This renovated pub in the inner Eastern suburb of Hawthorn gleams with shiny floors, bright lighting and a slightly Las Vegas atmosphere. It is a popular place for a game of pool in one of the three tables in the backroom, a drink after work, university (Swinburne is next door), or school (it is right next to one, and half the kids seem to spend their lunchtimes here). Tuesday night is the regular pool competition, while Thursday often sees live bands perform. There is a kitchen serving pub fare as well.
