Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great bar with really friendly staff. Served by young Irish girl from Galway with blonde hair who was really friendly (didn’t get her name - sorry!). She’s a great asset to the bar. Engages with customers in friendly and welcoming manner.
Great selection of beer etc and has the feel of a real Irish pub.

Great Irish pub atmosphere but not everything was good.
When paying for drinks staff took my card and disapeared with it fir some time (I hope I only paid for my drinks).
2 out of 3 meals were ordinary. Not sure how any chef can muck up fish and chips (soggy batter) and chicken schnitnel (under-cooked) bread crumbs.

Quite noisy on entry and as we were having a multi-generational family dinner I was a little worried. We were seated around the corner where the music was at a pleasant volume and conversation flowed. Wait staff were polite and attentive, food very nice and the Christmas decor gave festive cheer. On the whole a very satisfying experience.

Great food and nice quiet surroundings which made it easier for us to have a conversation. Only downside I had looked at the menu on website prior and was told my selection hasn’t been on the menu for a long time. Update website

We had my daughters 21st birthday at PJ o Briens upper lounge. The room is perfect for apx 30 people seated. The room was beautifully presented with fairy light and candles. We just bought some balloons. Catherine and Rebecca were easy to deal with and we’re very flexible. The vegetarians were able to choose from
The a la carte menu . All the meals were tasty and well presented. The service was good and everyone enjoyed themselves. We would definitely come again. Thanks to all the staff.

Having lived in Ireland I can attest to the true authenticity of PJ O’Briens.
Lots of Authentic materials having been shipped from the Emerald Isle are displayed in a manner that would not look out of place in Dublin.
Genuine Irish staff serving up great food and Guinness.
A must do for anybody who thrives in this type of setting.
Thank you Laura for your service with a smile 24.04.2021

Great service, great food and awesome atmosphere. My mum loves oysters and muscles and most places we have taken her too, do not get a good review but she was pleasant surprises and said they were excellent. We would be happy to come back. Everyone else enjoyed there meals too. Prices is fair, not over priced. staff very friendly. The only thing was the chocolate cake was a little dry. But well done you impressed my mum.

A really good place for a drink and a bite to eat. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very well located within Southgate shopping centre on ground floor with easy access to riverfront. A must Irish pub to visit whenever in Melbourne!

Loved the ambience, service and the food was great. Not expensive, thoroughly enjoyed the seafood chowder and my guests loved the Guinness meat pie.
Definitely recommend it and will go back.
