Wednesday nights are for three things: burgers, brews, and realising your friends know an alarming amount of useless information. πŸ”πŸΊπŸ§ 

See you at The Cornerstone in Port Melbourne for their trivia night, and let’s just say the competition will fierce (and the debate over 90s pop culture will be even fiercer).

Between smashing a few of their top-tier Wednesday night burgers and locking in our final answers, we manage to make sure there is an award for the loudest laughers.

Either way, there’s no better way to break up the work week than with good vibesand great local pints.

Who’s in?

For mains, you simply can’t look past their iconic Chicken Parmigiana, which is perfectly crumbed, golden, and stacked with ham and a serious blanket of melted cheese.

We also had to get the classic Steak Sandwich loaded with caramelized onions and tomato relish, and a perfectly pan-seared, Crispy Skin Salmon for good measure. Washed down with a crisp pint of Stone & Wood and some stellar craft cocktails, it’s safe to say nobody left hungry. If you need us for the rest of the weekend, we’ll be right here in the port Melbourne .
