UHB is getting everything right from the great draught beer, interesting food priced perfectly, and a feel that encourages families to come and share a communal venue.
The bar is old fashioned, straight out of the 60’s, and is easy to sit at while completing your cryptic – at least 3 people were attempting a palindrome in Eden (answer: Eve, the only cryptic clue I have solved) as the recorded music played in the background.
A small stage for live music, a regular feature at the Union, a smaller ante room (space for 10 or so to dine) a larger dining room for the masses, with sufficient kitsch dotted around the pub sets it up comfortably.
The beer garden is smallish, with shed like shelter. Table service, yep, and that inexact component of hospitality – ambience – is in abundance.
The food, a mix of traditional, with a surprise or two. All tastes are catered for, with mains priced in the high teens-low 20s.

Yakitori, chicken skewers barbecued right in front of you, is one of the most popular restaurant and bar foods in Japan. It can be an ideal snack between a cold beer or two.
Eaten in combination with other items from our menu, including barbecued seafood and vegetables and a variety of salads and pickles, Yakitori can become a substantial and healthy meal. Yakitori is traditionally ordered in numerous small portions during a meal, much in the style of Spanish tapas.
The bar offers you a variety of beverages including draft and bottled beers, spirits, sake (Japanese rice wine) and shochu, a medium strength liquor, which is served with freshly squeezed fruit juice.
It’s hard not to have a good time with good quality, innovative food and a few drinks. With its unique and relaxing atmosphere, and friendly staff, we are sure that Iku Yakitori can become a favoured dining experience for any occasion.

Syracuse Restaurant & Wine bar conveniently located in between Collins St and Little Collins St. Bank Place is one of Melbourne’s famous laneways and is a tree lined pedestrian thoroughfare. Our open dining room seats 70 people and our alfresco option is a lush outdoor seating area for up to 16 people.
Our dining room evokes a wholly other time and place. The ornate archways, soaring ceilings and curving chandeliers of a 19th century hotel lobby create a stunning impression of grandeur, though soft lighting and an assortment of antique tables and chairs keep the mood romantic and welcoming. Wine bottles displayed in various nooks and crannies hint at Syracuses vast and varied wine selection, which the food menu is designed to match.

With its neutral green and white exterior, the Park Hotel comes across as an inviting local watering hole – easy on the eyes, and from what I was about to discover, easy on the taste buds as well.
The front bar is nothing to phone home to mum about. It’s just your classic, small-ish, social drinking area, main bar to one side, and some bar stools and round pub tables.
