I want to say a big thank you for the service at the Spread Eagle Hotel.
A large group of us sat upstairs for dinner earlier this week in the private room and our waitress was absolutely delightful (very attentive and prompt in taking our orders). The food was delicious!
We look forward to visiting again soon.

We had a birthday upstairs on Saturday night for 20 guests. Everyone raved about the quality of food; friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Tasty food, fast & friendly service.
Had Scotch Fillet, cooked to perfection, cauliflower salad was delicious. Friends had Garlic Chicken, gobbled it up, which means they liked it too.

We had our Christmas lunch here in one of the function rooms upstairs. Highly recommend, plenty of room & great set up. The service and food were both 10/10. We added on entrees as the functions menu was mains only, but this was easily accommodated.

Had the veal schnitzel, top notch. Companions had fish n chips, reported as excellent. Service very good. I mark down. Would be 5 star for a pub meal if "salad" was a bit more than a lettuce mix, given the top-dollar paid. Otherwise terrific.

Dont know much about the hotel but the food is pretty good and service above average. The char grilled steak burger and sandwiches were very good. Bread was nice and meat was done just right. Prices are really reasonable.

This is one of those pubs that makes me wonder whether it is a pub or a restaurant. Actually, it is a pub with a restaurant because I do remember sitting at the table after ordering a beer from the bar. Mind you, the odd thing that I have noticed is that people don't seem to sit at bars anymore - or at least they don't in most pubs, which makes the bar sitting pubs somewhat or a rareity. This, as you can probably guess, is not a bar sitting pub. Anyway, it is an okay pub, though not hugely fantastic. As I mentioned it has a restaurant, but there is also a small outdoor area out the back

The food here was fantastic. A great choice on the menu. We had a selection of ages/food preferences and everyone went home full and happy. Staff were very pleasant and chatty. We will be back.

Having recently moved to Hawthorn, I was recommended the Spready as the best steak night in the city (not just the east side), so popular that reservations are required each and every week.

From what looks like your standard old dodgy pub on Bridge Road from the outside, inside is a sleek and yet comfortable space, with fabulous welcoming staff and a great vibe all round.

The star of the day, the steak, did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection, a slab of Porterhouse so big I was unable to finish it, accompanied by a delicious rocket salad and scalloped potato.

This was my first visit to the

I dig that there's still dingy old pubs still kicking along inner-city, but the 2 stars here is more for the crowd, which the past few times I've popped in for a drink has been of the super-messy, borderline aggressive variety. Pretty bogan-ish. Probably great for watching footy in winter. In summer though, there's so many other options around Richmond to enjoy.

A Monday night haunt for my boyfriend and his soccer team, I went and checked it out on $12 parma night.

There were 6 parmas to choose from (traditional, bolognese, meat lovers, Hawaiian, Mexican and egplant) with side options of chips or veges.

When they arrived, they were all as big as our faces - as parmas should be. Across our table of 6 I think we tried nearly all the options.

We all left VERY full and equally satisfied.

As far as crusty old pubs with good grub in richmond get.. this is one of the best out of that genre that has been done up to keep yet still stay true to its roots

Great name - always raises eyebrows - good pub food (and plenty of it), and, as a male friend has enthusiastically commented, 'this place seems to attract hot women'.

A good place to watch the footy, or an election if that takes your fancy, and the bands are open to requests. Given they are often just centimetres from their audience, it's not like they have much choice though...
