Your west side local for great food, cold beer and good company.

The best locals aren't just where you stop for a drink.

They're where celebrations begin, weeknight dinners become long conversations, and there's always room for one more at the table.

From perfectly cooked steaks and seasonal favourites to thoughtful wines and a pint poured just right, we're proud to be part of the Footscray community.

Come in and make yourself at home.

We're big fans of good locals.

The ones with two legs... and the ones with four.

If you're dropping in for a drink, lunch or catch up with westside locals, there's nothing better than bringing your well-behaved mate along for the outing.

After all, pubs are about bringing people together. Here's hoping there's always room for our four-legged locals too. 🐾

Dogs in pubs? Yes or no? 🐶🍻
