If a mate ever tells you to "meet me at the Railway for a beer" you might want to consider cutting them loose as friends and making new ones that can be more specific with their plans. We have been to quite a few "Railway's" over the years - The Railway in Yarraville, The Railway in Brunswick, The Railway Club in Port Melbourne and even The Railway Friendly Hotel in Byron Bay. Long story short, this country isn't burdened with a shortage of Railways, and yet somehow, the Railway Hotel in South Melbourne has eluded us.

When I think about it, I think the aforementioned Railway Club Hotel in Port Melbourne and this one kind've merged together in my mind as the same pub, and once we reviewed one I had mentally ticked off the other as done, so when a few people recently asked me if we had checked out the Railway in South Melbourne my response was always a very unsure "I think so?", which drove me to check and confirm that no, this was one Railway that we had yet to try. (Side note, out of interest I checked to see just how far away The Railway is from the Railway Club, and they are only 1.3km apart, so I maintain that I had every right to be a little confused).
