On Top

Pretty standard hole in the wall joint. Seems like the service would be better if you were one of the 'regulars' but if not its fairly average.

Definitely your typical university pub, but it offers heaps of fun. The layout of the place makes it feel cozy, like you're wandering around in someone's house. The live music on the weekend offers lots of energy, as the entire floor gets flooded with people looking to sing and dance. Good drinks, friendly staff, cool owner. We ordered dinner, holy moly those portions were HUGE! I would suggest sharing, but over all the food was very yummy. It's pretty much a dive bar, so it's not too special inside, but if you're looking for a good drink with a good mate, this is the place to be (and because it's right off the train station, it's an ideal spot for returning home).

A backpackers bar, cheapish booze, the place is dirty, the toilets are worse. Inside is cramped and dark. 'On Top' is an open air pace to smoke with rows of benches. Alright for some after work drinks, right near the station. If you go with low standards you'll come out having a good night.

This is a relatively new bar/restaurant in Ormond. I had dinner here on a weekday and the quality of the food was excellent. The prices are really reasonable and the service is great too. Would definitely recommend for a casual dinner during the week.

Approximate cost: $12
