Pitiful half ramekin of curry sauce which tasted nothing like UK curry sauce, for $4. Tasted like a pot of grounded up cardamom.
Very dry, burnt bacon that appeared precooked, and refried. Friendly staff though

Discovered this quaint, hidden basement gem, quite by chance. This classy tribute to a typical British pub has 2 entrances- 1 on Collins St and 1 thru a back corridor and down stairs( very secret squirrel)in the Block arcade.
Lots of classic English pub fare on the menu. My mum enjoyed the corned beef and I got a grilled chicken burger. All the food was simple but tasty.
Loved the quaint decor in...

How have I not been to the Charles Dickens Tavern? This was recommended my my fave nephew (only nephew heh heh) - and it was just a chance to catch up with him and a mate - and I thought it all jolly good.
It was a THU night, but it was pretty busy with the after work punters - many a group table there too and many ther eto watch the footy. It had a pretty good vibe.
Service was pretty quick with the meals, but being busy it took a tad longer to get a beer, but they were always friendly.
I had the burger, whicch was pretty good (the burger itself lacke a little favour) but overall, it still rates. Fave nephew went with some chicken wings and they too were quite nice.
Prices were reasonable too. I mention as most places seem to be crazy expensive in Melbs these days- but the CDT quite decent.
Anyhoo, great wee pub in a great location.
Zippy spam inclued: Had to abandon me little mat ein his igloo this night (he wasn't happy)

Wide variety of pub style/English food. Very big portions. We went on a Thursday for lunch and waited quite a while for the food to come out. I got the fish and chips (fish supper - $25) and whilst it was alright, there a bit too much batter so the crispness to fish ratio was off.

Delightful pub with delicious Sunday Roast. But the sticky date pudding drenched in sticky toffee sauce (with ice-cream!) stole the show!! Heavenly! Friendly, helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. Definitely felt like we were back in a British pub.

I was looking for a pub while waiting for my wife and found this place using Google. Walked downstairs and went thru the door. The first impression of this pub was pretty cool and reminds me of pubs in the UK. They serve Guinness on the tap, and service was spot on. This place was packed with customers of young and old. Everyone seems to be happy, enjoying their drinks and watching the footy on TV.
I will definitely be back to try their food menu as it looks very interesting.
