Great little Irish pub. To be the best you have to have the best pints, service and atmosphere. To have best pints they need to be served by people who care about the pint and the result is you'll end up with the best pint in Australia by a long way and this is what you get here. Any time I'm down in Melbourne from Sydney I make it my business to pay a visit to Siobhan and the gang in the Drunken Poet. Looking forward to a few creamy pints in the first week of October it's long overdue.

One of Melbourne's greatest little hotels. The Drunken Poet also has some of Melbourne's finest musicians perform all through the week. A warm and welcoming atmosphere and great Guinness. Highly recommended it.

One of my favourite pubs in Melbourne. Go for the live music, amazing service and great atmosphere. My son loves the Guinness, best pour in Melbourne he reckons. Good wine too for those not into the beer.

This place is a real gem. The bar staff are wonderful and the live music every day of the week is just brilliant. It showcases real talent with no entry fee. Plus I love the old school toasties with a great selection of wine. I'm a huge fan!!

Whether you're young or old, the Drunken Poet is the place to be. There is always good music and a great atmosphere.

Super cute Irish pub with dim lights, good beer, and lots of character!
There's events lined up for throughout the week like open mics and live music.

A homely sensational well run local atmospheric Irish pub, surprisingly in the shadows of the Melbourne CBD opposite the iconic QVM. On tap Kilkenny and Guinness, the flavored crisps a bonus! A choice of the trams rumbling past the outdoor tables or the inside bar vibe ,or simply both, a great way to spend a few hours !

Some say this has the best Guinness in melbourne, I have to say it was very good but not sure I would say it's the best. It was bloody good though. I came for one pint and left after 3 pints. Great little irish pub with great atmosphere. Only issue is there is only 1 toilet so after a few pints be prepared to wait. I will be back for sure

Unfair to ask about food they just do Irish crisps, nuts and toasties to keep you going . Their beers are beautifully kept, Guiness served at a more sensible temperature ie not so cold you can't taste it, a fabulous pint of Guinness.
A wonderful pub with really good music from many eras. It'd definitely be my local if I lived anywhere close. Wide variety of decent whiskies too. Outside seating available.
