Formerly the Portland Hotel, this iconic venue has recently undergone extensive renovations to offer you modern bar, restaurant and function facilities across two levels. But never fear – the Crafty Squire is still home of the famous James Squire Brewhouse, the only working microbrewery in Melbourne’s CBD! Whether you choose to enjoy a mouth-watering pub meal, catch some live sport on our big screen TVs, or hold your next party or event in one of our function spaces, The Crafty Squire is a fine example of a true ‘local’ pub in Melbourne CBD

Didn't even get a chance to take a photo of my food, it was so good I couldn't resist eat it! Ordering with a QR code is really convenient and such a good idea. Would definitely stop here again when I'm hungry food good food. The vegetarian options are beautiful! Very good and caring staff members as I got a glass of water before I even asked for it.

Good beers and friendly staff but the food is a coin flip. We had some good meals earlier in the year but last night we couldn't finish the burger or the chicken parma.

Service, food and drinks are all that of your average local pub... if you live within walking distance of Russell Street, then no issues. If you are traveling all the way into the CBD for the flagship James Squire restaurant, then I would definitely visit at your own risk, extremely average.

Good atmosphere! Friendly people. Standard pours like beer and gin and tonics are safe bets here. The espresso martini is surprisingly weak and is a small serve... the little sibling to espresso martinis pretty much anywhere else in the city at the same price point. So perhaps avoid the cocktails.
