Our Front Bar

Beers on Tap The charming front bar features a large horseshoe shaped bar jutting into the middle of the room. There are 10 beers on tap plus an English-style hand-pump - all of which feature a delightful range of Australian craft beers that has made the Royston famous among beer lovers world wide. Wine List Supporting our marvellous beer selection is a varied, comprehensive wine list of highly recommended wines. You'll recognise a few of the names, but mainly the list matches the beer selection - gorgeous wines from smaller, less well known but exceptional quality wineries, almost all of which James Halliday has rated 4 or 5 stars. Despite the quality, we stick to our value-for-money ethos and you'll be impressed at the value the wine list represents. Menu Despite the quality of the beer and wine selection at the Royston it's the quality and value of the food coming out of Rob Clarke's kitchen that has got the foodie press all excited! That's why the Age referred to us as one of the best 10 counter meals in Melbourne (August 2009). That's why we have featured in Age Cheap Eats Guide since 2009. And it's why the Sunday Age gave us three stars in 2007. (so it's been going on for a while!) The menu includes the usual pub fare like parmas, fish & chips, burgers and steaks. They are big, tasty and exceptionally well cooked. But perhaps more remarkable are the dishes that far exceed anyone's expectations for a "counter meal". And everything that's on the dining room menu is also served up in the casual, vibey atmosphere of the front bar. Stuff to do, people to seize By day the bar is bright and cheery. By night, it’s funky and atmospheric. On Wednesday nights, the Quizmeisters trivia night takes over the front bar but every other night it is filled with happy drinkers and diners, many of them locals who have walked the short distance from home, but also many from further afield who don’t mind travelling when the reward is such a cool bar. Like any good local, you'll see some of the same faces every time you visit. It's like a home away from home, so introduce yourself to the friendly guys and girls behind the bar and settle in...
