Reviewers – Lee, Nikki & Stefo

Occasionally we pick pubs for pretty selfish reasons, and this week’s was about as selfish as they come. I had heard that the folks behind Holey Moley had opened a video arcade/bar in the Docklands, and in researching the arcade I noticed that a new pub had just opened right next to it. I wanted to visit the arcade, I always want to visit a pub … End of story!

Located directly in front of the box office for the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel, It wasn’t until we arrived that I realised that we have actually visited this pub before - Back in 2015 when it was known as the Harbour Town Hotel. Just when I think we’re done with redo’s for a while we unwittingly get sucked back in!

As its a pub with a new name/ownership team I’m not gonna treat it as a regular redo and harp back on what it was like when it was the Harbour Town, if you want to read the full story click on the link above to go to the full review, but the TLDR is that it wasn’t very good. Horrible quality, a giant chicken nugget with parma toppings - Literally anything that Urban Alley puts on a plate will be an improvement on Harbour Town … I hope.
