Reviewers – Lee & Matt

Readers that have been with us a while (and have a ridiculously good memory) will remember that we tried to visit the Garden State Hotel once before, back in August of 2016 - However the gods weren't on our side that night, we couldn't get a table at the absolutely packed pub, and we wound up doing an impromptu redo of Transport instead.

Well it's been over a year since that night, surely the hype around the Garden State has died down a little by now - Right?

Having been burned before we took no chances. Rather than our usual 7:00pm Thursday catch up time I snuck out of work just after 4 in the afternoon and was cosied up in a booth by 4:30. Good thing too, as Garden State was filling fast.

If you've yet to visit Garden State, do yourself a favour and make it a priority. The guys at Sand Hill Road know how to make a stunningly unique pub experience with design work that is unparalleled in the Melbourne pub scene.
