Perfect Christmas Day Lunch. We dined at the 2.30pm sitting. The food servings were very generous and absolutely delicious. Thanks Chefs . All staff who waited on our table were wonderful, friendly and so accommodating. Thanks to all who gave up their Christmas Day and worked.

End of year function in the wine room. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Food and drinks were great and value for money. Place was pretty busy but staff found a space for our group and were very accommodating even after the event had finished. Thanks again for a great afternoon.

Lovely evening and great staff. They were really busy & understaffed and they did a great job!! Food very good. Shame they have to close early but that’s a staffing issue like every other hospitality business in Melbourne.

Nice atmosphere. Probably one of the worst parmas I've ever had 3 others at the table agreed. No flavour and soggy. For the price they are charging I would expect alot better. $140 for a cheese board 2 kids meals, 2 adults and 1 beer 1 wine... are you kidding me. You are a hotel not a Michelin star restaurant. Not the first time we have been. Will definitely be our last.

We had the Igloo experience at Auburn Hotel and it was sensational. The food and cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed having our group of 5 in the Igloo which was lit up with fairy lights. It was warm inside with gas heating provided. I would highly recommend this experince

We had a great experience having dinner in igloo. Before going, I thought it is a place for taking beautiful photos. However, the food exceeded my expectations. Taste amazing. And comes in big portion.
Beer is also good. We ordered additional beer.
Staff are very friendly and happy for take photos for us.

We’re here on holidays and stumbled across this great pub, which lucky for us was at the bottom of the street we’re staying in.
We booked a couple of table to accompany the 20 or so people in our family and we needed wheelchair and pram space.
Heather the manager that showed us around the venue was so accommodating and helpful and super friendly.
We all arrived at the same time and the family were very happy with the choice of venue.
Ordering the food from the QR code menu system was simple and the food came out super quick.
The food itself was great and the Wagyu Beef Tartare was insanely

I hope I don’t ever come here again. 15 min wait for drinks when ordering on the app. 40 mins for food. Had standard pub food, nothing looked amazing, everything was just “fine”. App said if you order within same minute of each other, it would come out together...we did, but it was about 20 mins between first and last meal. Plus, toilets smelled so badly, potent male urine smell even in the ladies. Poor experience.

Great venue for a beer garden dinner and drinks in the sun. Drinks are trusty and all good is delicious! A quality Parma which is essential at a venue like this.
Awesome that they embrace Melbourne culture with specialties like the igloo gardens in winter and the ‘happiest hour’ this January.
We went on a hot day during the happiest hour and they were absolutely getting run off their feet, but all staff were professional and friendly despite how busy they were. Great work!
