Storied iconic venue. Brilliant front bar for a drink before or after your gig with great bar and helpful security staff. Band room is elite and the talent arranged is too. Don West in the pics. One of Melbourne's best music venues. 👏👏

Visited 26th of August. The barramundi was genuinely excellent — crisp, not greasy, and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, that was the only real highlight.
The rest of the meal was disappointing. The chips were bland and under-salted, and the coleslaw felt like an afterthought, with a tasteless mayonnaise that didn’t add anything.
Service was frustrating. We ordered drinks first — my lemon lime bitters arrived quickly, but my friend’s espresso martini never came. After nearly 20 minutes, she had to go to the bar to follow up, and the staff member explained the delay by saying she’d been downstairs restocking coffee — which didn’t make much sense given the order.
The coffee (ordered separately at the end) was very good, but by then, the overall experience had already fallen flat.
At \$27 just for the meal — not including drinks — I expected a much better standard across the board. Aside from the fish and coffee, the food and service were underwhelming. Wouldn’t go out of my way to return.
well, I decided to go back to the corner hotel on the 23rd of October and ordered the exact same thing again, hoping things might of changed but if anything they got worse! Fish overcooked, Cold slaw had oil in the dressing! chips were soggy and sad. Should’ve sent it back they were busy being a Thursday night, and I had a teddy swims concert to go to straight after. my lesson has been learnt I will never be returning.
One star is for the food and the other star is for security because they were nice

Saw the Get Up Kids perform Something To Write Home About for the 25th album release anniversary and it was a great time. Love this venue, been coming here to see bands since I was a teenager. Long live the corner hotel.
Family Friendly
