Was there for a work lunch and we split 2 pizzas and a bowl of beer battered fries between four of us, and that and a few beers did the trick nicely for us all and made for quite a cheap lunch out. We preferred the carbonara which was eggy, cheesy and had yummy bacon chunks whereas the tiger prawn spaghetti had a little too much rocket.
Comfy bar stools, good bathrooms that are 1000% cleaner than the station has to offer and great plasma to watch sport at the Spencer st end of bar.
