You are here Home  > Victoria  > Melbourne >  The Elephant and Wheelbarrow (Bourke Street, Melbourne)

Melbourne has plenty of places to drink, but many of these feel plastic and charmless; however there are a few nice pubs including the Elephant and Wheelbarrow on Bourke Street in the city centre, which is a favourite with many backpackers.

    Not my kind of place - a bit grungy.

    The hamburger is a dense piece of overworked ground beef. nothing a American would call good. Chicken parm is probably best bet. Classic Irish bar tho'

    Authentic in terms of decor, but not in terms of beer/ale on offer

    clean beer, nice tables outside, alright prices. but nowhere close to a proper British pub. Still enjoy it for its location.

    Don't expect any loyalty bonuses for being a regular, it's a rip off consistently!

    They travel half way around the world to hang out at their own pubs. Typical stupid pommy bastards.

    Nice. No soaked beer carpet smell. Great chips and aioli.

    Dont expect to turn up and watch the Rugby World Cup even if they say"every game live." Expect the AFL to be on and the sound off!

    The only reason why I am here is because I needed to defecate. The toilets are great and clean, although it's a Thursday night.
