The Bentleigh Social

Nice surprise to have a good local!
Booked a couple of tables for a new group getting to know each other. Didn't order any food, so can't comment on that but the help with booking to set it up was very accommodating. Beers selection is good and atmosphere was perfect for the event.

A local gem! Great place to catch up with friends. Open late during the week too which is great for mid week drinks. Cocktails are a fave 😊Large open space so good for groups without being crowded. Highly recommend!

Pizza relatively tasteless. Garlic prawn pizza had a lot of prawns. Probably frozen but copious. BBQ Brocollini was roughly $4/piece. Was cold on a plate with some artistically dabbed soft cheese and chilli, probably to make you feel better about the broccoli inflation price and the fact it was cold. Guinness on tap makes up for it. Just.

First time at Bentleigh social last night as a new local and unfortunately last time. The bar ran out of cider after the first pint, anooying but these things happen. Over an hour wait for them to deliver just a schnitzel?? I was very confused and asked where was the salad and chips? they delivered cold chips and salad 10 minutes later. Photo attached how it arrived. Schnitzel tasted cheap (like frozen store ones not homemade crumbed). Partner ordered the brisket which arrived 30 minutes after my schnitzel. Very unprofessional, both meals should come at the same time. Brisket obviously wasn't cooked enough as very chewy, shouldn't have to use a knife to try cut through it.

Tucked away gem out the back of Centre road with plenty of tap beers and cocktails to select from. Mid week is a little quieter if that is your preference and the food was really good. Mondays burger deal was definitely worth the money and plenty of other things to try on the menu.

Super friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, but the food is pretty ordinary.

We ordered Braised Brisket Tacos & Pulled Pork Tacos, and Gnocchi. They filled a hole, but I certainly wouldn't hurry back.

I will say though, someone in our group ordered the Wagyu burger and it looked great! I didn't try it, but it did look good.

Was there for a function and what a great place! Lots of seating and nicely done with great industrial lighting, nice tables, drinks and food. Would visit again. However take stairs the lift bit rickety and slow. 12.11.23 5 of us for lunch. Shared houlami, fries and pork croquettes for entree (OK I didn't have croquettes as vegetarian) while for mains I had mushroom ravioli, husband had lamb shoulder while others had vegetarian gnocchi, beef tacos and another lamb shoulder. Note the guys who ordered lamb shoulder said it was more like a lamb salad. Then we had dessert, 2 brownies and 2 waffles. Both with ice-cream. Brought home half of ravioli and brownie. Offered a third dessert, cheesecake but were out and even houlami initially they said they couldn't do either, so stock an issue? Anyway great venue, lots of greenery so relaxing. Will go again.

🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻 GREAT ATMOSPHERE BUT ORDINARY AND PRICEY FOOD

🍝Bentleigh Social's food was satisfactory, it was expensive and the parma we ordered was a bit dry, however the pasta was tasty.

🤵The staff were super friendly and kind so it definitely made the experience a bit better

⭐️ Their decor, setting and overall vibe though makes up for the expensive food.

Wouldn't recommend the food but recommend having a drink here with good vibes
