Bleakhouse Hotel

My old stompim' ground.

Best view in albert park

Nice area.

You can spend a long Sunday here in a booth watching footy. Good food and pleasant attentive staff. Pie of the day was great and better than expected.

Got a great table with sea views. Food was good and want to come back to try more :-)

Got into Bleakhouse hotel for a couple of pints on one of the last of 2021s summer days. Reasonable price for drinks, great location and fairly empty around late lunch time. The staff were very attentive and the family at one of the tables were getting looked after very well. Worth dropping in for a drink or two or three and the food menu looks good as well.

Beautiful day, fantastic location, friendly service and delicious food. Can't ask for more than that! Thanks for a great afternoon 😀

Solid drinks menu in comfortable space with live sport on 3 tv's in the sports section. The dining room is comfortable enough but if you have a large amount of people look at getting the private dining room. Physical location is great; the last stop on the 1 tram is right outside the entrance. Across the road is the beach. My only critique is free parking os limited to 1 hour, otherwise a hefty $13 paid parking is needed. Food is great, think basic pub grub done very well plus some chef specials. Expect $40 to $60 per person for a main, desert and a few drinks.

Ambience: Front sports bar has some large TVs and booths alongside with individual TVs in them for watching other games with friends. Unexpectedly, the rear has a beautiful contrasting quieter pub/restaurant area with a view on to the bay. Stylish fit out, modernised version of classic dark wood/leather, appropriate lighting. It really looks great. Staff: Warm and attentive. Drinks: Several beers on tap, pretty standard selection, no stout. Some interesting wines by the glass, priced $11-14. Good local bubbles (Mitchelton) and Laurent Perrier for fizz. A few classic cocktails offered. Food: Great looking menu with a well-curated British-leaning selection of elevated pub classics and steaks. Specific dishes tried: - Chips: outstandingly good. Would come back just for these 5+/5 - Barnsley chop: Delighted to see on the menu. Perfectly cooked pink, a joyous piece of lamb. 5/5 (Weirdly came with bearnaise like the steaks do, but this was safely contained in a sauceboat that could be put to one side) - “Proper pie” and mash: proper indeed, good shortcrust pastry, chunks of meat, good mash and gravy. Let down by heavy-handedness with rosemary etc that dominated too much - tasted minty rather than meaty - those flavours would have gone better with the lamb chop 4/5 - Apple pie: Apple turnover shaped, and unexpectedly seemed fried (air fried perhaps) rather than baked. Not really doing it credit to say this but it seemed like a kind of cheffed up version of the apple pies you get in McDonalds. It was absolutely delicious, cinnamony and crisp. But I was kind of looking forward to a more classic pie, so only 4/5. - Sticky date pudding: Good but not quite bang on (more butterscotch, and simply pairing with vanilla ice cream for some needed contrast would have nailed it) 4/5

They have done a great job renovating and upgrading this pub. I have visited a few times and found the meals enjoyable, beer is always icy cold hard to stop at two and the staff are so friendly. Albert Park/ South Melbourne beach is opposite with the team stop right there. Most importantly place is clean. Great place to watch sports. What more could you ask for.
