Rating 3 stars due to the fact that the person who was serving me seemed really on edge and riled up as if he was on drugs or something got to keep a better eye on staff members

Great staff and good amount of options.
Prices are ok depending on what you get and what time.
After 11pm all prices jump up, some significantly.
Would be good to have more deals across the variety of products.

Dropped by on a very quiet Sunday afternoon on the basis of a recommendation. Should probably have eaten elsewhere and dropped by a bit later. Ostensibly solid pub fare let down by sub par produce and slap dash cooking, which was a shame because the rooftop area is pleasant. Nice staff though.

Great view of the footy from the dance floor. Pretty rooftop with nice views. Only complaint is that the vodka raspberry was very sub par.

Ordered dinner via ubereats in lockdown. Still awaiting a response or call to my complaint that was made direct to RHW. False advertising. Most horrendous food. Needs to be heated up at home. It was so disgusting it was inedible, had to be thrown in outside bin. The stench that was created from microwaving the disgusting looking food was so bad, I… ended up deep cleaning my microwave, mopping my floors and putting on a candle to try and get rid of the smell, not to mention had to order elsewhere. Not even my dog would touch that. Very disappointing as I wanted to support a business during

Fantastic deck upstairs with modern comfortable seating, food looked amazing, bar clean modern and a good range of beers on tap and wine! Great spot for a cheeky one (or more) on a sunny afternoon. Well worth checking out 👍

Awesome for a Saturday night happy hour! (Which is more like a happy night because they have 7 dollar drinks until midnight) no place around chapel street is so cheap on the weekends and in such good prime area!

Do not recommend this venue! We were the only people eating in the restaurant so expect food to come out in a reasonable time frame - Not! Food unsatisfying, overall service not recommended! Staff didn’t care that patrons not happy.

Went for dinner. Food is terrible, over cooked gnocchi under cooked steak. Chef sat talking to people in restaurant while we sat there waiting over 40 mins for food, he should be cooking! Hard to get service even though place was empty. Definitely do not go for dinner.

First star ⭐️ Goes to the Staff maybe because he was Canadian, but both the girl behind the bar and the Guy we’re friendly and pleasant to deal with.
Second star ⭐️ Reasonably priced with a vibrant feel to the place from the 80s rock to today’s lounge music and up beats.
Third star ⭐️ the food not your basic pub menu, food well presented food hade the duck 🦆
My friend the chicken 🐓 parmigiana cooked to perfection excellent presentation and bloody yummy
Fourth star ⭐️ bathrooms were clean and had an outdoor area with a designated smoking area that didn’t effect the

Private function room at the front is perfect for a party. We had a size of 45 people, you could fit more. We had flowing drinks and food. End of the night the bar staff looked after us playing music! Fun times dancing... Thank you!

Unfortunately they are completely understaffed for a long weekend. And the staff don’t seem to be able to handle a packed bar

Okay, I must admit that this is not really one of my favourite pubs in Prahran. While I can't really criticise the name, it is not the most original that I have encountered (and I wonder how many 'Railway Hotels' there are in Australia). It's not a bad pub, but it is not what I would call fantastic. The balcony is pretty cool, and it does have a decent view of the city, and it is pretty clean (but then I guess if you run an establishment that serves food you are legally required to do that). What I did discover was that you have to be careful where you sit. You simply can&apos

I've always felt there's potential here but it's never quite lived up to it. Just needs a little more 'character' to get beyond the stock standard Chapel St bar set up.

Staff are friendly, but the food was pretty average. That said the Sunday sessions in summer are pretty ace... Might just be that the winter visits

After coming back to the Railway after a substandard steak I ended up there again on a first date.

The menu had just been changed in the last few weeks. From the new menu, I ordered the steak with a side salad again and when it came out it was one of the best steaks I'd ever had.

My well done steak was tender (hard to do to a well done steak I think), tasty and had a moreish peppercorn sauce. The fried potato accompaniment also left me wanting more.

Hopefully the food coming from this kitchen will stay up to this quality. If so, I will keep coming back.

Still love the Sunday sessions

Yes, the 24 hour bottle shop is attached to the Railway Hotel, but the venue itself has a little more to offer than just easily accessible liquor.

My favourite thing about the Railway Hotel is the alfresco dining space in their decked open air courtyard. It looks out over Chapel Street and Windsor and is really very comfortable and relaxing on a warm Summers day. Outdoor dining not your style? Never mind The Railway Hotel also have a great and slightly more intimate cocktail bar, for if your wishing to grab a quick drink and a chat after work.

The Railway Hotel offer a range of Internationally
