The 21st century Mebourne lunch time experience. A QR design order experience whose first year of birth starts with a 1 not a 2. A staff member who sounded like you have returned to your time spent in jobs in Earl's Court or UK but is actually from Perth and Asian and South Asian wait staff who you can bore with experiences in those areas coupled with a great German menu. Venues change overthe time of the day but a neglected lunch gem within walking distance of Southern Cross Station. Do not order the the exquisite pork knuckle unless you have someone tosharw

As a part of my Sperm Donation Australia Tour, Melbourne Leg edition, I came here on a Friday for a footy game, and decided to come here, got a seat easy 30 minutes prior to the game and snack in a sneaky pint of HoFs Lager.

Good food, very fast service. Men's toilets were broken, told the bar staff who acknowledged it was broken but didn't seem to want to fix it.

The food was amazing, we ordered the share plate for three but was plenty for four of us with left overs, very generous servings. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely recommend and visit again when in Melbourne.

“Our large group held a milestone celebration at The Hof, and were very pleased that it's just as good as we remembered it to be. Food and beer was great, staff friendly and enthusiastic. Looking forward to returning again soon.”

Victoria M Manager

“Just had drinks before the footy tonight but would love to go back to try the food as it looked amazing. Wait staff walked by with a huge pork knuckle & looking at the menu there were lots of tasty options. Seating is inside or out & right across the road from Marvel Stadium.”
